I used Flickr to archive my Sandwich Bag Art because my kids tossed them in the lunch room trash. Not because they didn’t like them, but because they were used to me just making a quick drawing and leaving it around. I’ve written about how I came to Flickr as the...

I just want to say hello and thanks for being here. Most of what I will be doing is inspired by my sandwich bag art. Please be patient as I get my stuff in order.
