Brochures, Salads and Sake…
Yesterday was one of those days of mixed up activities…all fun. I started by going to Waller Hall on Willamette’s campus This building was built about 1864 and has served many uses for the university over the decades (including residence early on).

New Blog
When my brother Howard was visiting we decided to start a drawing-only blog. He posts a drawing, I do, he does. We’re both sitting on tall stacks of drawing books from over the years so this could go on quite a while!! Howard has been an architect all his life so our drawings are VERY […]
The Driving Head
For quite a few years I’ve been drawing Roger Hull whenever we go on a car trip of more than an hour, and I call these drawings The Driving Head series. I have hundreds of them. Here are three:
