Vera has been lots of places, in a way.

Vera's favorite sport is soccer

This is a page from my unfinished book Mute Swan

This is another page from Mute Swan

Vera and her family (my family) 1939, a page from my ongoing memoir.

Drawing from my memoir; Vera helps me tell the story.

This is a page from my memoir, the most recent one I've drawn. You can see I've included figures from Tintin books. I hope this is allowed, because it makes sense to me for this French town in the early 1940's. The word "streem" is misspelled; I keep meaning to go back and fix it.

This is the first page from my book Rocket Boy.

This is later in Rocket Boy, when the rocket has flown the coop.

Here, boy meets girl in an underground world of animals.

Here the boy is about to wake from his dream, and be subtly different.

Pen and ink drawing of seagull against night sky. This drawing is an illustration for a poem I wrote called "The Night Whir."

Pen and ink drawing of boy looking at a moonlit sea. I'm not a poet but I once thought I might be.

Pen and ink drawing of an old-fashioned car driving next to the ocean. This also goes with my poem "The Night Whir."

Pen and ink drawing of a boy's head on a pillow. I think I wrote the poem when I was in High School. I'm an insomniac, and the night is very alive for me.
