Got 5 pages inked tonight of the Florida SpringsFest Weekend March 2&3, 2019 coloring/comic book. More to come!

Again an over productive time at TeaStori! Pages and pages penciled for the comic/coloring book to be given away free at the Florida SpringsFest Weekend March 2&3, 2019. I’ll be at the Festival “signing” with cartoon critters both Saturday and Sunday. Also got artwork penciled for a personal project of critter cartoons.

More to post later!

One-Way Trip by Scott McEwen

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Above average military thriller full of detail of tactical and strategic efforts to save a soldier. The characters are mostly well written. Considering there are two authors, you’d think one might have noticed how similar a great number of the characters are. Especially the military ones. True, my encounters with military folks has me finding many being very similar. In books characters need to be more clearly drawn to follow the story.

The plot is average for this kind of book. It is well executed, especially the last half of the book. The writing is standard with the above mentioned poor character development.

Overall this is a very exciting book.

Bottom line: i recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.

A TON of work and meetings this coming week! Hope to end the week at the Battle of Olustee, a re-enactment of Florida’s most significant Civil War battle.
Just about wrapped up with the digital coloring. This is a piece for a project involving how much children are being watched while at school.

Been digitally working in the past week. Wow! It is boring as ever. Been playing films while working. Decided to draw a bit during ‘Jamaica Inn’ from the big movie year of 1939. The film is adapted from the book by, one of my favorite authors, Daphne du Maurier.

Scribbled using a handy purple ballpoint pen.

Hope to do some live drawing again. This coming Tuesday.

A Clubbable Woman by Reginald Hill

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


A very good debut of a series with a good mystery. There is a ton of extraneous stuff to provide plenty of background. As well as this is written it’s worth reading.

The story starts off as easy enough but gets more and more tangled as one reads. The characters are very good, especially considering the great number of them.

Bottom line: i recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.

My annual Swampy’s #Florida Black Friday paintings Sale! You can also get a Free painting! See below.

Just like the other paintings you’ve seen I’ve done, I will create an original watercolor painting based with cute critters, including ones of your choosing, involved in a humorous scene.

You could get one as a gift for someone or for yourself or something else.

Last event before December!

This one a baby shower. I usually refuse these, but went with this one in Mount Dora a couple months ago so I could see friends.

The work load has gotten the better of me and I’m heading straight home.

Turned out to be a pretty good group. I’ll add cations to each photograph.
