Sleeping Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip or two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...

In a delicate china teacup, a pale, tiny monster dozes and dreams... probably for more delicious tea... :-) One arm drapes over the edge, the other rests on the rim, holding the weary head. :-)

Guardian Monster: KANIVER CONFUNDICUTT

PERSONALITY: Sneaky and calculating sum up the “charms” of this monster. She is a trickster at heart and enjoys nothing more than leaving her victims in a huddled, befuddled state of confusion. (She finds this most amusing.)

POTENTIAL ISSUES: This should be obvious, but just in case more explanation is required, here is a list of just some of her personality quirks: 1.) She has no mercy; 2.) She laughs at crying babies; 3.) She thrills for the chase; 4.) She has no fear; 5.) Nervous pleading makes her giggle. Need I say more?

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Don’t become her “victim.” Immediately upon acquaintance, make sure she knows that you know how amazing she is. She has quite an ego, which needs regular stroking with compliments. No surprise, she never tires of an appreciative audience and will happily return the favor by fending off bothersome troublemakers or persuading you to keep promises you’ve made. I urge caution however before seeking her assistance or you may regret it later.

PROTECTIVE POWERS: Mind Bedazzlement
BENEFICIAL POWERS: Psychedelic Journey

Graphite and colored pencil drawing in rainbow colors, depicting a tall creature with a devious smile, feathered body and two sharp twirly pink horns.

GUARDIAN MONSTER: Waunakee Rippleskin.

PERSONALITY: Volatile best describes the ever-changing moods of this monster. One minute she is glowing with a sunny smile. The next minute she is grouchy, touchy, sad, exhilarated, etc…

POTENTIAL ISSUES: Her multiple personalities can be fascinating but exhausting. It’s hard to carry on a conversation when you have no idea who will be showing up to assist you. Never fear. She’s got it under control (most of the time) and can short circuit the babble of voices long enough to hear your question.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Approach her carefully with your gaze cast downward. Ask permission to look at her directly as she is quite sensitive to being stared at. Once she has given you her okay, go ahead and look carefully into her eyes. When they stopped shifting color and remain a warm brown, be prepared to discuss your request(s).

A strange a wondrous monster of glowing circular colors, stands sideways, glaring at the viewer. It has two powerful legs, a feathery tale and a curled trunk, like an elephant. Atop its head and along its back a row of multi-colored scales. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

This is the first in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep greenness of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

Xover0's Ancient Courses Napkin Rings featuring seven historic routes of the Mississippi River are photographed with that day's Wall Street Journal. The newspaper is open to an article discussing the art of table setting. The story stresses the importance of unique personal finds over mainstream brands from typical retailers, stating: "It’s a sport scored on originality and style."

Guardian Monster:COSGROVE NOSTRILLIKUS

PERSONALITY: Curious and friendly, his favorite occupation is discovery through the senses of smell and taste which provide endless hours of learning and entertainment. His easy going nature is often mistaken for simple or limited thinking, but do not be fooled. He is very intelligent and savvy. More info on: https://www.behance.net/gallery/1769866/Guardian-Monsters

POTENTIAL ISSUES: He has a fondness for the colors orange or yellow and feels compelled to taste them even when they are clearly NOT sources of food. This may cause distress, perhaps even hostility, in those who have not been forewarned, especially if you happen to be wearing these colors. Unfortunately his sensitive nose, which is especially vulnerable to the acrid smells of anger, may cause him to break into a spell of violent sneezing. This is his body’s natural response to expel the offensive odor. Please do not take it personally.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Do not wear clothing or jewelry in shades of orange or yellow during the initial introduction unless you enjoy being licked. He does not wish to offend you but may not be able to stop himself. Find a quiet room of neutral color, and then offer him a plate of carrot sticks and yellow jelly beans. That will satisfy his craving and allow him to focus on your issues. Try and relax. He really is there to help.

Two Views of the Same Problem
Paper Faces - The Human Psyche
FACES. We all have them. They fascinate me. Expressions in particular - from subtle to extreme.
OLD PAPER. These too share qualities of human expression. From long ago handwritten notes, aged newspapers and maps to worn paper stained with time. In this series of prints, I combine them to create whimsical "stories" about the nature of being human.

The Peaceful Garden
With eyes closed in peaceful meditation, a white cat considers the nature of life. Surrounded by a flowering tree and small hillocks of varying shades of deep umber, bright orange flowers spark in the quiet space like fire. A curious owl watches nearby and wishes that he would ask his companion about its enigmatic smile. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

Against at wallpapered background of pale green, blue and pink flowers, sits a china teacup. Its occupant is a small blue, tapir-like creature glancing nervously at the viewer. Sunlight casts a gentle purple shadow on the bright golden tabletop. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

This is super cool, but I think it would make me a bit woozy to walk into.

GORGEOUS MONSTERS & THEIR PETS
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the Monster Times & Review and author of the glamorous tell-all book, What Monsters Want. These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.
Meet Constance, of the Tellarium tribe & her two pets:
Esmerelda, a Blue Nifted Whistler and Eggelston, a baby Inkbit.

Seated comfortably on an antique chair with one leg swung over the arm, a pale magenta monster, with a long striped trunk, gives singing lessons to her favorite pet and pupil - a blue dragon-like creature with orange highlights. Out of its whistling mouth, leaf-like notes of song flow. On the large monsters lap, being tickled, another favorite pet. This little guy is a teal pattered, eight-legged critter, with an orange and gold face and belly. It is giggling wildly. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

What I enjoy about hiking is that panoramic view. You stand, as if at the top of the world, and survey what feels, at that moment, like your domain.

Under a big sky, everything else -- the everything else that too often fills your thoughts and makes up your worries -- feels very small and distant.

It's all about connections.
In a whimsical world, cats and fish can be friends instead of predator and prey. Strange beings can manifest out of the blue and dance among the flowers or spin in circles just for the fun of it! In a whimsical world, anything is possible.

SOUL PEOPLE: Inner Growth
Soul: the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life; the moral and emotional nature of human beings. (source:Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

I watch the local and national news too much. As a result, I am witness to people facing serious life challenges that are beyond my own measured world.

To me, the Soul People series reflects aspects of intrinsic humanity, including the suffering, alienation, confusion as well as the quest for joy, peace and understanding that people experience in their day to day lives. Depending upon the "soul" within, they deal with these challenges differently. In these images I am trying to explore and visualize what that might look like.
