Happy New Year and all, friends! ‘Tis a perfect moment for bringing back The Verve’s “A New Decade” … “the radio plays the sounds we made / and everything everything seems to feel just right.” Maybe we can get this decade right … is that asking for too much?
On that note, I’ve got to congratulate my father on turning 84 today. Big ups to my pops. Happy Birthday, Jack G. Wiggins, Ph.D., Psy.D., you incredible psychologist man!
And to my primary reason for this entry: I’ve finally had time — to make time — to hash out new designs (digital sketches) for paintings. And in the spirit of openness and optimism that I am sensing at the threshold of this new decade, I would like to share my new designs with you. Mind you, these are just sketches … some glitches are present here and there.
If you dig these, that’s cool — would love to know your reaction.

I like the two at the top.The first one reminds me of a 7-UP can (probably the colors), and I like how you completely re-did the colors and added/subtracted elements in the one following that. Very fun stuff.
Right on, William. Thank you very much for checking things out and offering feedback. I’m trying to channel the energy of that direction a bit more … modular design with limitless remix potential.
A proud father says thanks to a very creative son for the Bithday kudos. Although these sketches are not numbered, the third one makes me think of it as a sign of the times, a lot of hard work to get the traction to create the foment.
I prefer the eigth one which is more light and airy built on a solid foundation.
I really like the opportunity to blog on your website. Love , Dad
Dad — thanks for posting a comment. We’ll see what happens if, and when, these designs are translated to canvas. A lot will change, I’m sure. See you soon.
The top one is a winner. It really pops!
