Cave Fellers & Grid Grinders & Truth Tellers

 June 26, 2026

   If I had to sum up my professional journey in eighteen images, this would come close to capturing the whole shootin' match.

My Life On An 18 Frame Grid

   Yes, this is simply a screen grab off of Facebook, that shows my recent posting history via images and as I glanced at it, I thought to myself, Damn, that pretty much sums up who I am, right there. In fact, I would make the claim that it tells a more accurate story of who I am beyond all the yakking I do in here. Of course, I love graphic narrative and this is telling. I have a theory, being, if you look closely at the above grid it starts to tell a story on its own. In short, it's a pure graphic narrative with a theme and everything. In fact, some of the images that speak the loudest are not representational. You know, like this:

Which brings us back to the lone kitchen light.

Daily Whip Out: "The Lone Kitchen Light"

   As mentioned yesterday, this simple abode works well, but, if we're illustrating an Old Vaquero Saying, it wants to be a tad more Southwestern, perhaps even adobe. . .

"The Lone Adobe Kitchen Light, Part III"

   Just this morning I found a family from Thailand roaming around in the cave that Cave Creek is named for. They agreed to let me take their photo. but, frankly, I didn't want to get too close.

Thailand Cave Dwellers

   As it turns out, two of the family members are quite talented artists, so I gave them an art lesson in my studio.

Natural Born Artists

   Both Harper and Fenton do quite well with the gouache-wash technique so I merely try to stay out of their way.
