Welcome to my art studio

 






     
I took a few formal art classes. The best one was in the studio of Yan Martsinkevich who now lives in Stockholm, Sweden. He actually loaned me his paints and easel when I went away for a few months, to work as an English teacher in a remote Ukrainian village . . .
  • Open the "Traditional Media" drawer for the end of this story and the landscapes I did while in that village.
  • Open the "Special Goodies" drawer to see the amazing world of Yan's pictures (I scanned them from his catalogue published by Sotheby's in 1996).
For cartoons, don't miss adailycartoon.com published by Paul Dlugokencky who has been colorblind since a tragic crayon factory explosion in 1974. Our paths crossed a few times in the narrow but busy spot outside my cubicle at John Wiley & Sons. His animated The Memory of a Goldfish has had a major impact on my younger son's sense of humor and thereby on my entire family's livelihood.
