Kyin Khine (16 June 1954 - 27 July 2021)

A friend in Burma, Kyin Khine, died the night before last from the Covid 19 virus. He was a robust man of 67 years. He died way too young, unnecessarily, through no fault of his own. The Military Government that staged the coup d'état last February has intentionally allowed the virus to run rampant through the country in hopes that it would eliminate a large portion of its opposition. Kying Khine was a cheerful, generous man, well loved by his siblings, nephews, nieces and cousins, who cared for him up until his untimely end. Here are a few photographs I made of him when we traveled together seven years ago. I'm sorry I will never have the chance to travel with him again.

Eduardo KV como Tarzán, Rey de los Gatos

Hice otro collage de Tarzán. Estos parecen venir de dos en dos. Esta usa otra ilustración del mismo ilustrador comercial de tarzán e impone el rostro y la polla de otro Eduardo (éste Eduardo Cortes, Duque de Blagis o Kapitán Vergarfio) que recientemente pasó unas sexy vacaciones en Bogotá. Aquí retrata a Tarzán, Rey de los Gatos.

It's a leopard.

 Oh, excuse me Major, you're right, it is a loon.

Storm Hills

Storm Hills (Dale Wittig, 1988) first published at age 30

I was living on the hill above Elka Schumann's farm with Tamar S & David Thorne. As I painted pictures and wrote stories, Tamar encouraged me to combine the two in a book. However, I wrote this story and painted these images specifically for the book, inspired by living there.
