Today, July 3 is the day we lost the wonderful Andy Griffith - most notably from the "Andy Griffith Show" - 1 of my favorite series. His work behind the camera was just as inspiring as his acting.

Today, July 2 is the day that the world lost Ernest Hemingway - one of the greatest authors of any generation. He was a Nobel Prize winning author for such books as "The Old Man and the Sea"... “Writing, at its best, is a lonely life.” I did this card for the Island Dreams Sketchcards set in his honor...

Today, July 1 is National U.S. Postage Stamp Day on July 1, so get your envelopes ready. It started back in 1847, when postage stamps were first introduced to the American public as a means to pay for their mail. I was 1 of a few artists that were commissioned by the Post Office in 2004 to sign these prints for the public... it was a fun time.
