Argus Design . . . new beginnings . . .

September 4, 2012 — I felt that the anniversary of the start of the 2011 Bastrop fires was an appropriate time to reveal some of what I have been working on in the past months. As I announced earlier this year, after more than a decade of spending most of my days creating websites, I made the decision to try to get back to the long-time goals of my life - my art.

Today, I am revealing a glimpse into my other world with new work. For those of you who have seen some of my work in the past, you will know that I have always dwelled in the world of trees and the thoughts they bring to me.

The inspiration for the new series revealed here came as we were driving through the remnants of the Bastrop, Texas fires of 2011 last November. The blackened tree trunks stood as sentinels - with hidden stories of times past and times to come. You are invited to view some of the images from my Bastrop Texas series here»»

Enjoy your life each and every day.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.  Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.  Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary.”
