• NaPoWriMo Day 23

    As they used to say on Monty Python’s Flying Circus…. “and now for something completely different.” I love ghost stories. I always have, and so they serve as another recurring theme in my poetry. Enjoy! MY OBSESSION I do not sleep at all these days, I have not for some time. I wish just to…

  • Sketch of the Day

    Here is my latest digital painting. Done using the Apple Pencil on my iPad. The app is called Coloured Pencil. The palette and toolset are a little unconventional, but it’s a lot of fun once you get used to it. Let me know what you think 😀

    We often hear about the greed of the super rich. But the fact is, it’s most of us as well. We all see the poverty in our own communities and around the world, but so few step up to do anything about it. Instead of waiting for the rich to throw money at these problems…

    I’m not sure why, but I seem to be on a bit of a nature kick this month. Maybe it’s because every time I turn around another piece of it’s been cut down, dug up or plowed over. Whatever the reason, I hope you enjoy todays poem 🙂 SEE THE BEAUTY “Good morning!” Says the…

    So, I forgot my Apple Pencil at home today so had to take yet another approach for this one. It was done on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 using Autodesk Sketchbook software. As always, I’d love to hear what you think 🙂 Cheers, Winston

    The future is coming faster than we think. One day, not too long from now, we will be looking to colonize distant worlds. First within our own system and then someday… beyond. INTO THE DARK With thunder louder than the storm, Light brighter than the dawn. A mighty ship, heroic crew, Far from this earth…

    I lost my temper this morning. It was over something stupid. It didn’t need to happen. I don’t lose it often, but even once in a while is too often. Some days…. I really don’t like myself very much.   MY PERSONAL DEMON There is a rage inside of me, Each day I watch it…

  • Yesterday’s post was a pencil sketch done on a piece of scrap paper on break at work. To change it up, I wanted to play with light and shadow a bit. I used the Apple Pencil on my iPad and a drawing app called Procreate to work up this exercise. As always, let me know…
