"Hometown Tales" Podcast shoutout for SWG

(1-21-11) Gene Fitzpatrick and Bryan Minogue of Hometwon Tales have been keeping listeners entertained with the latest strange news, urban legends and twisted tales of popular culture. They help to keep the tradition alive of fun and engaging radio shows and are very good friends to take along for the ride, especially on those long plane flights. What a great surprize it is for me to get a shoutout from them on this week's show! Check out espisode # 335 "...another pointless chupacabra, dead birds, Skullbone Tennessee, Alien Airport in France, fluoride in the water and other government craziness." And while you're at it, why not subscribe to them on iTunes? http://www.podcastblaster.com/directory/podcast-210.html

Abstractions

Recently I've expanded my style into abstract compositions (see images). Working with concepts and inventing symbols through color, line and shading has offered me a chance to experiment a little.
