The trees outside the laundry room were a vibrant yellow, holding on to their leaves and providing a nice backdrop to the smells of fabric softener. But alas, the past few days have been filled with...

If it seems like I go to a grocery store every other day? I probably do. Then again, I was up getting my car serviced and when you’re that close to Jungle Jim’s, you go. (Previously, when I processed...

Figuring things out on a several fronts of late. Another round of tests at hospital with mom. Sis in town still. She’s a rock. The colors of autumn have been so lovely this year. Fiddling with aspect...

I was in a drive-thru, making bad choices, when I caught this moment. My favorite part is seeing the delight on the kids’s faces by the energetic little dog who was running back and forth to their...

The night before my talk and I had scanned, photographed and revisited about as much of my creative past as possible. This book jacket concept? Part of a trilogy for design class (sketches here)....
View ArticleChili and cheese
Jim’s easy to entertain. He’s already seen most Cincinnati sights in previous visits. He is now content visiting every possible chili parlor. Today’s lunch: Camp Washington Chili.

The window to see that change is narrow. Happy to have caught these Butterfly Magnolia blooms in this sweet moment.
