Watercoloring
I recently began watercoloring after a hiatus from artistic endeavors. Below are some examples of the watercolors I've done. My work is influenced by a number of artists such as Marcel Dzama but my main inspiration is my love of larger than life historical figures such as the 26 Marshals of Napoleon Bonaparte, and Johnny Bench and Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds, whose hold on my imagination is great.
Old Man Drinks
www.oldmadrinks.com is a website that is going to be devoted to mixed drinks whose homes were the swanky lounges and hip cocktail parties of the past. This drink here is a Maurice - it's one part dry vermouth, one part sweet vermouth, one part orange juice, two parts gin and a dash of bitters. It's a delightful and refreshing cocktail.
One Damned Island After Another
One Damned Island... is a working title for a adaptation of the Odyssey set in the South Pacific following the end of World War Two and concluding in the mid 1960s. The title is taken from the official history of the island-hopping 7th Air Force during the Pacific War, and reflects the exhaustion felt by our Odysseus in a sea scattered with little islands, each an awful refuge.
