Rock & Roll Artwork, Portraits, Landscapes and Wood Carvings.
I need to share this. I received an email, completely out of the blue! Back in 2018 I sold Physical Graffiti . Selling it was a moving experience for me given how much I put into making it.

I was inspired by Page and Plant's performance during their MTV Unledded project. The performance was recorded in 1994 and would become the No Quarter live album.

I was proud of my work and pleased that someone else was in love... Continue Reading →
This year we worked on remodeling our kitchen and expanded it. That cut into the spare room so did some rearranging of my Led Zeppelin work. This work spans 20+ years and is diverse in style and material. Admittedly, there is far more work of Plant and Page than anyone else in the band, hopefully,... Continue Reading →
Physical Graffiti is a special piece to me. It was recently sold and shipped to its new home! Having it sold is a bitter-sweet feeling. I've talked about Physical Graffiti before, back in 2016, when I did a bit of a face lift to the frame. The journey I took with my art to create Physical... Continue Reading →
I am really excited about this canvas. And for a couple of reasons. To start with, this piece and I have been on a journey. I struggled with this canvas. It sat on the aisle for months and months. I did not like where it was going, I had start over with some aspects of... Continue Reading →
