Yes, part two part two—the day was long, as most days having a beginning and an end are. As I mentioned in the last post, as the Charles W.

It seems like only yesterday that I was sequestered in my studio working day and night on the final prints for the Dalvero Academy Journey of Transformation show currently on display at Mystic Seaport.

Stopped by the post office this afternoon and found my copy of the November/December 2015 Sailing World magazine. Took a bit to get but it is always worth it to see the printed issue. It was my first time working for Creative Director David Weaver, I was happy to see the the story and art together, and read the […]
