Here is one of my favorite Happy Accident portraits taken at Ed Mell's Art Studio back in the mid-eighties.

And, speaking of Happy Accidents, a couple weeks ago I received the following letter from a member of congress.
I am more than delighted by the list of my so-called occupations and have to laugh because one of the most repeated comments at the Doctor Will See You Now Art Show at Sharlot Hall last Thursday night was this one:
"I didn't know you were an artist."
—By my count, four different patrons of the arts said this to me, which begs the question—Who the hell do they think is doing all that free artwork for the magazine?
Ironically, I am currently attempting something I have never done in my long and semi-illustrious career: I'm seeking out the evocative beauty of things left unfinished.
Daily Unfinished Whip Out:"Lawman Advances"
"Illustrious Beauty In Doorway"
"It's easier to turn an aquarium into fish soup than it is to turn fish soup onto an aquarium."
