Today is the anniversary of the birth of Jesse Lee (Lex) Howard. Here is but a poor sampling of pictures of the times we have shared in recent years. After beating that net! In Clinton, Iowa on The Road Trip – 2006 With the World’s Largest Cheeto Jesse’s Picture on… Read More »Happy Birthday Jesse!
Kelly’s salon recently had their Grand Re-opening after all of their remodeling. I hadn’t put a picture up in Salon 908 since the remodeling, so I decided to do a window project for the salon. For a closer look at Window Project #2, you will need to go to Salon… Read More »Window Project #2
I was dreadfully unprepared for this year’s Halloween. Including not buying pumpkins and candy until Saturday morning, not running firmware updates on my Blu-Ray player until Saturday night and not doing any decorating at all. Truth is that the lack of decorating was a conscious decision that I plan on… Read More »Samhain
A few years back I lost the Howard family portrait account. This year, I got it back. Here are some images from the Howard Family Portrait Photo Shoot. I think I might be caught up on all my photo editing. It might just be story time again.
Friday night was the big Jay home cooked meal extravaganza. Willy choose not to join his brothers for this meal. Even though a week earlier he begged me not to go to the Ames on the Half Shell Appreciation Party because he needed a home cooked meal. Although I was… Read More »Shafted
As Shawn and I were called to perform our secondary duty of ushering, I handed my camera to Kelly. She took the following pictures before the battery on the camera gave out. I was so completely drained from this wonderful day that I didn’t wake up until 1:30 on Sunday… Read More »The Wedding of the Year (Part 3)
I didn’t take many pictures from The Wedding of the Year because I was quite busy being a triple threat: Groomsman, Usher and Reader Guy.

Chapter 5: HobbyLobbyphobia I’m not used to having an agenda when I’m dining with my friends. I like to keep things loose. Not on this day though. I was having lunch with Monica and I had an agenda. Monica is my matting expert. We were meeting to discuss the plans… Read More »Mintuia – Chapter 5: HobbyLobbyphobia
I’m going to attempt to get out of the video posting rut that I’ve been in lately. Not that the videos I’ve posted have been bad. In fact, they have been highly entertaining. However, this here “Artist’s Notebook” isn’t supposed to be about funny videos. It is supposed to be… Read More »Randumbness
I have had difficulty in getting back in my mode to finish up this mostly uninteresting tale. It has been over a week since most of this stuff has transpired. My memory of the events may be more than a little bit foggy. I’ll do my best recollect these events… Read More »Reflections on the Last Few Days (Part III)
All false male bravura aside, the ride home from work today SUCKED!!! I can’t emphasize this point nearly enough. You could underline that word about 4 more times and the point still wouldn’t quite be made. I think visibility at times was a negative number. My sister asked me how… Read More »Reflection on the Last Few Days (Part II)
I may have alluded to having a pretty great weekend in an earlier blog. Although it might have been a bit of bragging on my part, I have always been a big fan of the moral philosopher Jay Hanna Dean (AKA Jerome Herman Dean) who argued that “It ain’t bragging… Read More »Reflections on the Last Few Days (Part I)
I failed in my quest to get “Building 429” properly framed for display last night. I also learned that my attempts to get “Blue Steel” placed prominently in Salon 908 will not result in anything tangible. However, “Earth’s Laughter Series – #04” might get a spot on their walls. Jesse… Read More »Blue Steel Plans Halted
