This is a combination doorway sketch and self portrait. My shadow is on the lower right corner, also on the original photo on which this image is based. I’m sure this is not a ghost door. It was probably just locked, since it was November in East Side Park. Please visit my Etsy shop for my […]

This version in the Luthier Storefront series is more of a response to ‘violin’ as a prompt. The sketch below represents my Dad playing the violin while my brother Mike listened in. Mike was a nonverbal, autistic and low-functioning person, who was very difficult to communicate with. I took a photo of Dad playing to Mike, while Mike […]
