Route 66
boots (my own) These two illustrations are in a new adult coloring book entitled 'The Route 66 Coloring book'. The black and white drawings were drawn by other artists I just colored them with my favorite medium colored pencils using in the boots drawing-orange, yellow, red and black, brown and tan. In the main illustration it's a drawing of one view of Route 66 traveling down the road. I used shades of blue for the sky, shaded together black and gray for the road as well as greens for the trees and in the fore front I used orange and red for I made the little area like a flower patch on one side and light green on the other side. Again, I used colored pencil for this one as well.

A Rabbit and the Carrot Tree
This is a pen sketch in my rendition of 'cubism'. The story of a rabbit wondering if this carrot tree is for real. You think the rabbit will go for the carrots?

Art Unbound: Platforms Redefining Creativity in the Blockchain Era. AI-Generated.
The art world is shedding its old skins. No longer confined to galleries, auction houses, or static images, it’s expanding into dynamic, decentralized spaces where code, community, and creativity collide. A new wave of platforms is driving this transformation—blending blockchain, critique, and culture to redefine what art can be.

Aesthetics
Human capacity for interpretation and understanding of the world is complex and moves precariously in balance between the objective and the subjective. Beauty itself might not be fully objective, but it often is (either as perceived, e.g. symmetry; or shared, e.g. trend). And it drives us: beauty gives us pleasure.

Tartuffe
"Tartuffe" by Moliere has been produced many times in the off and off off Broadway community over the last decades. As one of the most prolific writers ever, it is this play that takes the stage more than any other of his works.

Nature art
I found an adult coloring book that held art drawings from Bob Ross. Here is my rendition of one of a mountain stream using crayons of blues, greens, gray and brown and some black. I wanted to share the feeling of cold water in the stream and waterfall with that shade of blue. I hope I succeeded.

Christmas art
If you have seen the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' you have heard this quote many times. Every year I watch this movie and hear JuJu, George Bailey's youngest child, say this line for it brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. This is another Christmas picture that I used crayon with reds, greens, and gold for the main picture red for the berries and ribbon and gold for the bell and wings and green for the holly leaves and the wreath. I used brown and black for the border that I think is a wall and black for the words of the quote.

When Time Forgot to Behave
In the vast silence of the desert, where the land stretched like an unbroken thought and the sky hovered in patient blue, there hung a clock from the arm of a dead tree. It was an old pocket watch, silver once, now softened and drooping as if it had grown tired of its own certainty. Time, it seemed, had forgotten how to stay rigid.

Christmas art
Another illustration from Valentin Ramon and his Christmas movie coloring book. This really could be from any of the movies he presented in his book. Sorry for the blurry picture for I took it on a cloudy day. I used crayons with this picture using colors red, purple, yellow. green and gold for the bells and more yellow for the garland and stars are gold. I used brown for what I think is either a wall or a door where the wreath maybe hanging.

When the Swings Still Remember. AI-Generated.
The playground came alive only at sunset. During the day, it stood silent—rusted chains unmoving, the wooden ladder leaning tiredly, the bicycle forgotten near the tree. But when the sun dipped low and painted the sky in gold and amber, shadows gathered, and the past returned.

The Water That Remembered Their Names
The courtyard had known their footsteps for more years than anyone could count. Its stones were worn smooth by time, by bare feet and heavy hearts, by laughter and grief carried silently across generations. Every morning, when the sun climbed slowly over the mud-brick walls, Mariam knelt beside the copper basin filled with water, just as she had done for decades. The water always looked ordinary—clear, trembling slightly in the morning light—but Mariam knew better.
