Editorial Illustrations
Words or pictures? Why choose when you can have both? “Good” stories employ conflict, tension, motivation and stakes to hold your attention and keep you hungry for more. Illustrations use the same tools to tell stories, but the medium is visual. This is the ultimate “show, don’t tell” situation. And I am here for it.
“Long Exposure” – illustration for a short prose piece. Past and present mingle and overlap at an old compound pharmacy.
“Notes On A Hook” – illustration for a poem. In the creative process, influences and experiences mingle and dance. The product is music, literature, art, and…well, life.
“Thoughts While Watching The Tide” – illustration for a poem. Ocean waves imbue the commonest of objects with a temporary luster.
“Sweetness” – illustration for a short prose meditation. A workday lunch sparks musings on the role of indulgence, community and rest in a well-lived life.
“Vacation” – illustration for a poem. A lazy afternoon on the beach transports and transforms, ephemeral though it may be.
“9-19-20” – illustration for a poem. With a little rest and solitude, anxiety can live side-by-side with acceptance, even in dark times.
