In 1998
I retired from IBM after 21 years in software development. I didn’t actually
retire—I just stopped working in order to finally apply myself to creative
activities that I wasn’t willing to put off any longer. One was writing.
Another was music. In 2001, I moved to Denton to study composition at the
University of North Texas. I wasn’t out to get another degree, I just wanted
to take the courses that interested me. When I had done that, I turned to the
visual arts, which is when I got drawn into printmaking. On this site
you can browse what I’ve produced in all three fields: two books,
a collection of prints, and music that ranges from songs to a concerto for
viola and orchestra.
The latest chapter in my website is a growing set of brief vignettes modeled
on the "Keats and Chapman" stories by Myles na Gopaleen, aka Flann O'Brien,
aka Brian O'Nolan. Like the originals, each concludes with a
soul-searing pun. You have been warned.
