So, where exactly did these Zombies come from?
In 2006, I was visiting Marquette – in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan – and took a photograph (below) of a flagstone wall which I climbed in my youth. I later used pieces from this picture to create this character.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like observing a barren desert while standing inside the fossilized jaw of a giant prehistoric dinosaur…perhaps this image will suffice.

Many hours in the desert without water left me parched, and, as I approached the Pyramids on the Giza Plateau of Egypt, I imagined a large pool of fresh water…

Song for Today
Midnight at the Oasis, by Maria Muldaur (1974) – see lyrics here.
Armor-clad with shield, this knight traveled for many days across a hot, barren desert, in order to audition for the lead role in an upcoming medieval television mini-series. However, when he arrived, the set was in a state of chaos. Time to hire a new agent! In the meantime, you can enjoy great gift & apparel items available in these shops:

Once more, as before
Her beauty draws pen to hand
Déjà vu haiku

There are times I feel I should refrain
From the sounds that drum as rhyme
Yet, your beauty shines through poetry
Like your smile, your words sublime
Having read “Twilight’s First Blush“, written by a lovely poetess and friend from the Valley of the Sun, Michele Lee Sefton – wherein she conveys a romantic recollection at dawn & shares her welcomed sense of humor – I was inspired to write this poem in response…
On a late night cruise
To a rendezvous
Just seventeen miles or so
It’s the magic hour
When night fades to day
And the cock begins to crow
In romantic waves
Rhythm fills the air
Glances cast amorously
Soon, a warm embrace
On the edge of love
Two hearts sing in rhapsody
Til the morning draws
Colors peach to blue
As faint starlight blinks farewell
Cheers, to drift once more
On this desert sea
Over sand and under spell

After exhaustive travel in a hot, arid desert, a tall glass of cool water is certainly a welcomed sight…but, is it only a mirage? Probably, though it’s still better than a glass of sand.
Contrary to such illusions, you may quench your thirst for some very cool gifts and apparel when you visit the following galleries…
I’ve heard it said before, that, I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse! However, to this day I’ve not heard anyone exclaim, I’m so thirsty that I could drink a glass of sand! Not particularly thirst-quenching, I guess.
However, you can still enjoy a glass of sand on prints, gifts and apparel, when you visit the following shops:
Thanks very much!
Desert Landscape
Wishing to locate a source of water, it became apparent to the weary desert traveller, when, upon seeing an unexplainable series of flat screen monitors so far from civilization, that he must be experiencing a mirage.
Look no further, though, to discover a plentiful resource of refreshing products featuring my digital artwork, available in these shops:
Stores open 24/7/365
