BBB's Blog
If you've ever wondered what it's like to run a magazine or how crazy my personal life is, be sure to read the behind-the-scenes peek at the daily trials and tribulations of running True West. Culled straight from my Franklin Daytimer, it contains actual journal entries, laid out raw and uncensored. Some of it is enlightening. Much of it is embarrassing, but all of it is painfully true.
In addition to this current journal, my early journal entries show the rocky road and money lost in the True West Business Timeline.

The World Series of Poker
Worked all weekend on sketches, starting with a prickly pear study:
Which led to this:
Followed by studies of Mickey's Mama, and hole in the sky:
Also spent some time with Dead Sea Scroll type patinas:
On a break, got into a Rembrandt art book and came under his spell:
Bozebrandt Poaching:
And more patina noodling:
This led to a rash of bigger patina studies (art to follow: filed under "Wasting Away In Patinaville").
"The man of reflection discovers Truth; but the one who enjoys it and makes use of its heavenly gifts is the man of action."
