where vegetables come from

Canned, or frozen vegetables?  Oh right...they come from plants!  Don't forget to remember this fact.  The joys of gardening.

food, warmth and shelter

With the ongoing heavy snow in New England, I worry about the wildlife.  How do they survive in the deep snow?  If only they could all have little greenhouses for fresh food.  I wish them health, warmth  and safety during the winter.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Farm to Market

This started out as one of those thoughtless drawings while on the phone. It grew from there. The top of the mountain is a precariously balanced modern city. The further into the valley, the more earthy and organic it becomes. The bridge ties the gap between the two worlds, providing needs and balances to both environments.

lemon tree

These are really big, and very juicy lemons. They're also very tart, so they're perfect for a lemon merangue pie. Punta Gorda, Florida.

Florida farmers' market

This was an unusually cool Saturday morning in Punta Gorda, Florida. The variety of clothing was entertaining.

a busy week

Lots of deadlines for design work, not much time for fun drawing. This logo design was right up my alley with vegetable art. It's for a brand new Texas gourmet food shop in town. Wimberley is a popular tourist spot, and they love stores like this.

Farmers' Market

The pickings are slim for August because of the extreme temperatures and drought in central Texas. According to the Austin news weatherman, this is day 47 of temperatures over 100 degrees (with plenty of humidity). This is the worst drought in 60 years.

Peppers, onions, cucumbers, jalepenos, squashes, eggplant, tomatillos.
