An important message from Rudolph!
A recent painting “Sugarbowl, with Sweet Ghost” part of my ‘Haunted Still-Life” series.
Thank you everyone who stopped by my ‘open studio’ this weekend. (And by everyone I mean you Mark, thank you for being the one person who took the time to stop by 🙏🏽😂🤣😂😂)
Upcoming studio opening for anyone who wants to see my art in person.
🥲30 years ago I programmed my own version of Tetris to teach myself Visual Basic. Turns out that for 30 years, my dad (now 90) has been playing this game twice a day, every day, without fail. Talk about supporting your kid - at this point he is the only person in the world still playing this game!😮🥲
Now why do I feel like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was talking to YOU about reading MY poetry book??!? 🤣😂🤣
Hope you’ll add the beauty of your voice to my rhyme!🙏💚📖
Hey everyone, can I ask you for a favor? My #Jazz #Clarinetist daughter (Earshot’s Emerging Artist of the Year) just released one of her original compositions, titled HoneyCrisp, on all streaming platforms. Would you be so kind as to give it a listen and help boost it?🙏🙏💚🎶🙏🤗

No, that is thankfully not a requirement 😅. Generally authors should make sure their contract does not combine the royalties from one book with those of another. That way if one book does poorly but another does well, their respective royalties do not affect each other. #kidlitchat
It gets added to the running tab against future royalties… not sure what happens if there are no future royalties 😓
