By Jon Roemer On 19 Apr ’10 · 2 Comments

This is a current photo of the volcano which is wreaking havoc with Europe’s air travel.

It seems a perfect backdrop for a groovy airbrushed mural on a 70′s van. Just add a dinosaur, an ice-age cave man and cave lady (in a fur bikini), a dragon, a Norse god and goddess, a [...]

I think The Promise and Platon’s other recent series (Service and First Dance) establish him as the heir [...]

Hey, I admit it. I Google myself every once in a while. It’s a good way to keep up on how my web site and my blog are being indexed. It’s also a convenient way to find out if photos of mine are appearing online. You never know what you may find…
