I am starting to realize that I see people in shades of light and dark. Shadows and highlights. I have done it for as long as I can remember, but I am really doing it now without even meaning to. I notice how the light hits people’s lower lip, highlights their nose and parts of [...]
Sitting and eating dinner on my living room floor, I looked at an outlet on the wall next to me. It reminded me of something…this! Created in Photoshop CS5 Also, I have a friend with a last name of Coker…so I made this. Created in Photoshop CS5 and converted to a 3D object. You could [...]
I realize I haven’t posted crap here in forever. I have been painting and drawing and designing stuff. So here’s a start. Spent a few minutes on each image, using charcoal and paper. I like to draw…trying not to focus on making it perfect and just letting my brain go. Not as easy as it [...]

48 miles to Austin…driving home from Corpus Christi. Our weekend was good and long but I am only slightly happy we are going home. We began the weekend at our in-laws. Danny wasn’t feeling well and so it was pretty down. We had dinner with his family, hung out and chatted. They noticed Danny seemed [...]

I probably could add my time in grad school as also being a part of a large university as well. Looking at all the experiences I have had in education, I can [...]
The other night Danny made Lazy Lasagna. The recipe was easy to make, but it tasted a bit bland. I think perhaps adding some spices may help. It did make quite a bit though and Danny and I have been eating on it for a few days. Recipe Lazy Lasagna Ingredients 1 jar Spaghetti Sauce [...]
