Before Leo's time is up and Virgo begins, let me pay tribute to the lion hearted.
King
Back in the 1980's when I first started painting, and was living on my own with a Leo mate, I believed that the Lion was a symbol of happiness.
This was my first series of work. My Pride.
Unfinished Business
I had always hoped to show them together, but they started being collected before I got
the chance. So here on the internet they come together at last.

Above is one of my younger collectors. (He is a bit more grown up now!)
The painting to the right above is the first painting I sold, in 1985.
The hexagonal lions were inspired by the bathroom floor of my first apartment. Tee Hee!
Perhaps you can guess what inspired the painting below.

The Beast
The Lion Look
The painting above was my first commissioned piece, which I traded for
an encyclopedic set of art history books.

"Unfinished Business" (further up) and "Sex" (to the right) are painted on unstretched canvas. The drawing to the left below is rendered on a paper bag!
The painting below is made with India Ink on paper.
Lioness
This series of artwork was inspired by my passion for making art and
making art with meaning. The lion as a symbol of happiness was intentional.
It seems fitting to be showing them now. Life is good!
