This is a drawing of time elapsing. I took an apple and did a quick sketch of it, then took a bite, did a drawing, took another bite, another drawing, etc.
The series shows the apple’s descent towards core-hood but it also suggests my action off the page, biting and chewing.
It’s mundane, but life is just a series of moments like this, as time takes bites out of us then leaves our discarded cores.
Why not make something beautiful out of the trip?
I was telling Patti this morning that I woke up at 5:30 and started worrying that what if I was to try to make a living as an “artist” and I develop arthritis and can’t hold a pen any longer, She just laughed and said, “That’s a really good one” so we started planning the sequel to my book, one called “Everyday Sucks” in which I reveal how life truly is. I am lucky to have a wife whose moods are generally the inverse of mine and we are always able to buck each other up.
My first book, Hello World: a life in ham radio is a beautiful and intriguing look inside a world unknown to most of us. It’s full of hundreds of extraordinary images from around the world and was designed by the talented designer Paul Sahre. Even if the very idea of ham radio seems odd and dull, trust me, this book will delight and inform you.
