New Babies, No More Marlboros & Quilts.... Top Story - October 2026.

The following microfiction piece that I wrote entitled "New Babies, No More Marlboros, and Quilts!" was inspired by uber-talented visual artist Annie Lee's fab-tastic painting titled Grandma's Hands .

Obsessed With This Pokémon Card. Top Story - September 2026.

I started collecting Pokémon cards for the first time in an effort to bond with my son after three years of battling his mother to have visitation with him. Pokémon video games were what we bonded over ever since he was little and I handed him all of my old Game Boys and Pokémon games. As he got older, I would buy him the new consoles and games, and Pokémon’s new releases always seemed to coincide with his birthday.

The Long and Colorful History of Persian Art. Top Story - September 2026.

A Colorful Existence Whether it’s the deep blue tiles on a tomb for poets, the intricate weaving and decoration on a bright red rug, or the flowing calligraphy inside a miniature Quran, Persian artistry never seizes to mystify and astound those who view them.

John Saunders: Where Wild Horses Meet Memory. Top Story - September 2026.

By Brian D’Ambrosio The wild horses of Placitas do not need an introduction to John Saunders. They know the way. They wander near his home in the high desert, sometimes approaching close enough to eat apples and carrots from his hand. They are cautious but curious, animals shaped by instinct and survival, yet willing to accept a moment of care.

Indigo Exhaustion & Blue Regret...💙💙💙💙. Top Story - August 2026.

A wonderful and thought-provoking 1985 oil and acrylic painting called Blue Monday , created by an uber-talented visual artist named Annie Lee, features a young African American woman sitting on the edge of her bed while trying to muster the energy to go to work on a Monday morning at a job that she does not enjoy. Hence, the woman in the painting is essentially fighting the "Monday Blues."

Arty Farty – Are You Serious?. Top Story - August 2026.

I recently read an article discussing the ten most famous paintings in the world. It reminded me of a visit to an art gallery about twenty years ago. Don’t get the wrong idea here. I am not an arty person. I have a few original paintings in my house that I bought for the colours and the overall “likeness factor."

One Work: Girl before a Mirror. Top Story - July 2026.

Like a 1960s version of Tom Sawyer, my big brother got me to purple-wash the beige walls of our parents’ former conjugal quarters. Our dad had moved out of the house and our mom had turned the den into her new bedroom.

One Work: Autumn Rhythm (30). Top Story - July 2026.

I fucking love Jackson Pollock. I know he was a troubled man. Divisive. Controversial. Much like Bukowski. Even when I knew little to nothing about art, I loved the objective brilliance of Pollock blowing convention to fucking smithereens.
