Twelve Mighty Orphans - True story about the Masonic Orphanage's football team in Ft. Worth

My New Books





Every Christmas I get a few new books as gifts. Today, I introduce to you my Christmas 2009 collection. First we have, Shine On : 100 Years of Shiner Beer. This is a very interesting book about the history of Texas' own Shiner Beer. Which just happens to be my favorite brand. Secondly, I offer up a hilarious guide to the Caucasian race called Stuff White People Like. This book has some funny and true topics that will keep you entertained. The book is based on this website. Lastly, is my newest coffee table book titled, Skylines of the World: Yesterday and Today. This book has beautiful images of some of the best skylines in the world both from the past and current day. Anyway, I just thought I'd give you some insight into what I'm browsing at the moment that I received as gifts this year.

Half Price Books Warehouse - Part 2


I went down to the HPBW again to look for some good collage material for some upcoming projects. I had a pretty good day. I picked up about 15-20 books today. The weather was cool and rainy, but that didn't keep there from being a decent size crowd to deal with during the hunt. I picked up a couple of old atlases, an old anatomy book, a couple plant/gardening books, and tons of old sheet music. I'm going to make a strong effort to finish up the two paintings I've started and move on to some new mixed media stuff very soon.
