Print: $16.00 Download: $4.00 Two Henges, a Hill, and One Long Barrow is a photographic look at West Kennet Long Barrow, the Avebury complex, and especially Stonehenge.
West Kennet Long Barrow is a 4400 year old burial mound that we can walk inside today, and Avebury is a complex of stone circles even larger than Stonehenge itself. This book also takes a look at Silbury Hill, a chalk horse, and contains several illustrations by the author.
Over four dozen high resolution color photographs (most full page) give the reader a visual tour of these wondrous places, with the author’s learned commentary adding facts, asking questions, and giving a unique insight into their design, purpose, and meaning today.
The Author has visited the UK many times over the last dozen years, and with this book encourages you to learn more about these fascinating places, and to one day see them for yourself.
NOTE: This book makes an excellent companion piece to any of the Stonehenge tours available today.

Ready or not, the Knight family is going to India. They’ll have the time of their lives, as well, if they can somehow survive the antics of friends and family that bring to Bangalore a boatload of personal problems!
3 KNIGHTS IN INDIA is a comic strip adventure and more, using illustrations, recipes, and personal musings to round out the fictional tale within, and give the reader an authentic taste of the real India.

In June 2005, my first feature article was printed in CARTOONIST PROfiles magazine. To me, that was "making it": I had long considered getting featured in CARTOONIST PROfiles as a tremendous honour, and thanks to Jud Hurd, I had the opportunity.
Sadly, Jud passed away just as this final issue was printed. I will always be grateful to him for including me in CARTOONIST PROfiles.
This article discusses my Cartooning career as it was in 2005, and includes information and advice about Freelance Cartooning, Self-publishing, and more, with sample illustrations and cartoons.

Not everyone gets to venture inside the stone circle, but now you can decorate your walls with this beautiful and historic photo of the actual ancient entrance (and exit) to Stonehenge itself. The photo is taken at a slight angle so that you can see the Heel and Slaughter Stones, part of the original gateway to the henge monument. Beyond these stones lies the Avenue, where processions arrived, and left, this wonderous place.

Art Print: $10.00 John Henry was a hero of mine growing up. There was something about his never-give-up attitude which has stayed with me all these years, and has inspired me to never give up in my own life. Because of his influence, I have successfully pursued my dreams of being a Cartoonist and Artist, against many odds, I should add.
It was only fitting that I create a tribute to my hero through my comic strip The Inquiring Minds, in the hope of inspiring others.
This strip now appears in Houghton-Mifflin 8th grade History books, so my dream of inspiring others has come true, and 8th graders everyewhere are now staying awake during History class. :0) |
