a few lines

there is a visionary draftsman, a draw-er, who is in need of cash. he is left handed, talented, quirky, obsessive, cute, and willing to draw things that you and he talk about. he is ian, my firstborn, and he says you're welcome to get in touch. email is located here ian stevens and his web page, old and poor though it is, is here. he says he will take on any commission, and will call to talk it over with you.  

why am i putting this on my blog? he asked me for any ideas, so i thought i'd throw this into the ethers and maybe someone would find a drawing. are they any good? yes, or i wouldn't have written. this is a young man with talent, pictures and stories, but no book, no publisher, no direction. me? well, maybe you have guessed i'm a little busy and though we keep talking together about a book, it hasn't happened.

the drawings above, so poorly shot, are all i could do quickly. the first drawing is a small one he made for me for christmas. it's kinda funny, you'll notice the two missing shingles from the roof are below. the trees drawing is many years old, high school maybe, elder maples. the last is a huge hole. his materials: white drawing paper, a pen, usually black ink. and a huge imagination. he tells me he just finished a float plane commission(!), and not long ago a moose. oh, and walrus are big favorites...and barns and hoosies. you'll see...
