I am a huge fan of Science Fiction and Fantasy in all genres. Whether it’s Arthur C. Clarke novels or The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (extended editions, of course!) or the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series or The Sandman (comic and Netflix series), I am here for […]
Read more "Magical Realism & #MagicMondays"The cat’s finally out of the proverbial bag… I WROTE A BOOK! Here’s the announcement video that went live yesterday on The Wandering Art Historian YouTube channel and on my Instagram… The cover and title of said book will be revealed soon, but in the meantime, I thought I’d share this very special playlist which […]
Read more "The Infinite Being Playlist (or Songs to Write a Book to)"Romare Bearden: Ways of Working at the Asheville Art Museum in North Carolina is an apt title for this exhibition that I highly recommend, especially to those art enthusiasts who also consider themselves artists or creatives. File this exhibition under “small but mighty” because while it showcases only a few of Romare Bearden’s works, it […]

Read more "21 Months of #CovidClassics"Naven Lizon is a fellow creative person who understands just how difficult it can be to not only find one’s artistic voice, but to also express it in its most authentic form.

Read more "Soul Creativity w/ Naven Lizon"The month of October has come to a close and that means the Inktober 2021 drawing challenge is officially yesterday’s news. I had to get creative (and a little silly!), but I did complete the challenge – yay! Here’s this year’s prompt list again as a quick reminder of what the participating artists were up […]
Read more "Inktober 2"If you are an artist, you are probably familiar with the social media phenomenon that is Inktober. Inktober is a 31 day challenge that encourages artists to complete an ink drawing every day during the month of October. That’s it. Really! It is kind of wonderful in that there is only the pressure to complete […]
