Below are some of my favorite illustrations, done in traditional media --oils, acrylics, pen & inks, graphite pencils, pastels, etc.  The first six illustrations are from my MFA thesis “Where is Here?” -- an existential book on traveling and finding yourself (written by my old, departed friend, Tim Rummel).  Among the others are a couple ink and watercolor pieces from my first exhibition “Discourse in a World of Symbols,” held in Kamakura, Japan.
