I am almost done with a book I’m writing and illustrating. I have just starting the inking and coloring process. You can see a rough draft at:

If you want to tell your children a little story to illustrate the meaning of life, you are in luck. I have made this story. I call it “The Man, the Bear and the Unexpected Guest.” So enjoy this little tale my friends.
The Man
In Alaska on a tiny lush island stands a man wearing an old worn thick plaid shirt. He is in front of a cabin made of the thickest trees from the deepest parts of the forest. He watches the icy arctic water crash against the black pebbled beach. The fresh northern air fills his lungs.
He notices a large brown bear slowly making its way up a small stream behind the cabin.
The bear walks up to him and begins to talk. This is where our story begins.

Great story, David! The whole time I was expecting some philosophical ending but then you turned it around and threw something completely different at me. To be honest, I guess you could say it still had a philosophical ending just not the one I was thinking. Cool. Original. Creative.
I would love to see you post more stories. I’ve had a hard time getting people to read my stuff even if it’s 5 pages. People are a little more patient when it comes to the visual arts. I guess they don’t understand how much time you put into a story even if it’s short. Thanks for sharing.

Haha – hey buddy. Thank you! I have been inspired lately – I’ve been reading through your story about dreaming and it is really sweet – Remember that park we called the “wonderpark” – well I go there to do stuff. Last night I fell asleep in the park working – woke up sweating and happy. Now I’m getting breakfast and working from Wildflower
