A Hamster A Day

I am an abstract artist. The work I create comes out of a response to the particular materials that I use. Though I consider most of them paintings I would say that they are 'constructed' rather than painted. Much of the work that interests me is gestural. I started A Hamster A Day to further familiarize myself with the plasticity of the 'plastic' arts. I also started drawing hamsters to create a daily practice. My productivity has increased in all that I make. Our hamster's name is Knubby Sniffleton. A Hamster A Day is now on Facebook.

Sorry to leave you all hangin’.

I have had some issues to attend to lately and I haven’t been able to draw hamsters. I am returned and plan to get back to regularly scheduled hamsters.

A special edition for a special friend of A Hamster A Day: Darwin. May he rest in peace. Note: This drawing was too large to scan. I am posting with a mobile device as an experiment.
