I painted this scene to help visualize a chapter in my novel, Jim and the Flims<\/em>. In the background we have a giant geranium plant that\u2019s being used as a castle by a race of flying people called the flims. In the foreground, a man\u2019s girlfriend is being abducted by an alien yuel who\u2019s taken on the shape of a dinosaur. The sun is a glowing alien being that\u2019s known as the Supreme Jiva and is shaped like a beet. On the left is my old dog, Arf. What could be more natural?<\/p>\n

As always, you can get more info at my Paintings page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now I’m hoping to spend some time with the writing muse. Here’s a sculpture of her by my old friend Jim Skinner. Maybe she’s the reading muse, actually. I like how her bronze aura forms a quilted wingback chair…<\/p>\n
