Since January I have really blasted out tons of wildlife art -along with some abstract stuff, and the occasional collage, pencil, and odd thing here and there....but the nature stuff has been a beautiful thing to create. Developing my own unique wildlife style came naturally and I hope everyone appreciates the detail and the vibrant colors of the new stuff.
My new job has worked out very nicely and I love this place, The Bay Area Houston Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Writing articles for the Town Orbiter has also been rewarding. I want to thank anyone who has read my articles or supports me at the BAH Convention and Visitor's Bureau. I have the best "Bosses" you could ever hope for-they are like Aloe Vera to a burn-awesome and superior in their jobs and personalities.
I have many projects working at the same time as usual. I should be doing another art show out at the HAAK Winery in the coming months. i might be having an abstract gallery opening at Happy funland Gallery in January. My new children's book The Fish That Ate The World is out and available.
I am now a committee member out at Armand Bayou Nature Center and we have been doing interesting things and will continue to promote and progress into 2010. I recently designed the Bayou Boil logo-with a white egret and and an alligator.
Conducting eco-tours down the hidden paddle trails of the bayou I have led kayaking expeditions for birding photography and we've had great success...even spotting ten foot alligators, Anhingas, Ospreys, egrets and herons, Belted Kingfishers, and a sighting of a Pileated Woodpecker.
My novel, The Texas Sugar Pussy Kat Murders will be serialized on the Town Orbiter site in a special section, chapter by chapter, readers will get to read each chapter before my book comes out published. This mystery mayhem and murder, redneck Texas woods and trailer park story is entertaining and crazy fun and wild--it is not for children. R-rated and over the top. The most entertaining novel I have written-can make you laugh out loud and then make you cover your eyes.
I am halfway thorugh with my latest children's book, The Rain Berry Quest-which is more of a 4th to 5th grade story than my Octopus and my Fish books-which are pre-K to 1st graders.
The Movie trailer to The Honey Bee Girl should be ready any day now! i am very excited to see the results. i am still working on the 80,000 word plus novel, The Midnight Jungle, and I have so much going on it's been hard for me to find time to write on it.
Th alast short stories publihsed were FLy Free-Long Story short, Ride in the Moonlight-Wanderings, and How to Rope a Deer-Useless Knowledge.
Of course I have many other projects and things going on but Those are the highlights! Thanks for keeping up and tuning in to my channel of imagination and extertainment.
