I was visiting an old friend of mine in New Jersey. We both met when we were 4 years old. This past Christmas, he had suffered a heart attack. The doctors did not think he was going to make it. Fortunately, he did. 

We had the chance to go down memory lane. Part of that trip was how we use to ride our bikes to places like the "little store" in Garwood, or through the endless roads in Fairview Cemetery by the Ghost Pond on Gallows Hill Road, or just into town to the Five and Ten for some kind of treasure.

I don't have many chances to go back to New Jersey, let alone my home town of Westfield.

It was there I had learned to ride my bike by the age of 5. Bikes were the essential way of getting around as a kid. As time passed, I road my bike all over town, where summers would fly by sailing on my Schwinn, never knowing what adventure would lie ahead.

This one is for you, Fred.

The Letter C for a Very Cool Compass

The Letter C for a very Cool Compass

Okay, I was perplexed as what to do for another letter C and to stay away from it being cute like the last one. I start with looking at words in the dictionary. This one did not come easy at first. I confess I have another totally different one on my desktop that is not a compass, but a C for Cup. It wasn't working for me. I needed a new direction. HA! So here it is.

The Letter G Canvas Print

The Letter G

I have started to reproduce my letter illustrations on canvas rapping them on thick stretchers. Although I have some printed out on archival paper and framed, I like the look of them in a gallery canvas wrap. Of course this means going back and designing the sides, but that makes it all the more fun like visiting an old friend. Each letter in the series will be 8" x 8".
