Thank you very much!
So many talented folks here! 
Me, I write fiction, but my favorite creative work of mine is actually my main character. I’ve been writing stories about him for close to twenty years now, and he stars in various forms in several of my novels, including five I web published, two in a new series I’ve self-published, and one I’m submitting to a publisher this month (with high hopes and expectations firmly managed!). He’s a British mage (living in modern-day California where he moonlights as an Occult Studies professor), a smartass, and fun as hell to write.
I am not an architect, and I cannot legally call myself one nor call what I do architecture, or the AIA will come down on me with both feet. HOWEVER, I can legally design new or remodeled buildings that are residential, no more than two stories in height and made of wood framing. This gives me plenty of room and I have made a nice business for myself.
In El Segundo, a town just south of the Los Angeles airport, I designed a house about fifteen years ago I am particularly proud of. I designed it in a French country style, with shake roof and stucco exterior. As I recall (I no longer have the plans) it has four bedrooms, a large den, three baths, a living and dining room, large kitchen and attached three-car garage. If you are in the area it is on the southwest corner of California and Sycamore. Check it out.
I like to dabble in making short films with a cheapie animation program. I have a channel on YouTube that goes ignored… Need more cat videos I guess.
My favourite bit is a multi part series called the Non adventures of Roger and mark. A story about artificial intelligent programs who believe they are people. I made an effort to put out a chapter a week and was able to do so except for The last two which became more ambitious. The whole thing was a chapter play and ended up the equivalent to a 1 and a half hour film. Not sure which I liked best likely part 9
It started clunky but as I experimented more it went places I never planned.
If you have the time or inclination give one or two a view. The link is for a later chapter but the channel has the whole lot plus a few other odds and ends I’ve done over the years
A picture I took a while back during the installation of Cristo’s “The Gates” in Central Park. The gates themselves scrawl through the back of the picture and are almost secondary to the picture. But it’s the way the trees and he shadows reach out to you that made me love this shot.
I’m not sure about my absolute favorite painting, but I like this moose a lot. (This has made me realize that I really need to update that website, it’s been ages and I have lots of new work.)
I like it! It’s got kind of a Don Van Vliet feel to it, which is good, in my book!
Thanks!
You’d think that out of my tens of thousands of photos I’d go for one of those, but some how this guy takes it instead:
I was just fooling around with a bean can forge to try and make something useful out of scrap. The blade is a masonry nail, the ferrule a piece of copper pipe and the handle a chunk of 2x4. And together they become one of my favorite tools. Perfect for when you want a small screw hole in drywall or softwood. Never needs batteries. Use it one handed. The blade was intended to go in straight, but went in crooked instead, leaving it at an angle so naturally lines up with your arm, making it even easier to use. Just set the point where you want the hole, push and twist.
Every handyman should have one of these, really.
No plans to be in El Segundo, but is this it?
I have a “Superheroines-in-KO-Peril” fetish. Starting around 2005, I began to commission various artists to draw Wonder Woman getting defeated by various villains. The best one was done by Al Rio. Here is “Wonder Woman and the Invisible Monster” on my “Comic Art Fans” gallery (no nudity, but probably not safe for work):

Here is another pic by Al Rio that I never had colored, featuring my heroine Panther Girl, the Marvel Comics character the Wasp, and my “warrior-mage” character, “Gytalf the Utmost” (Also not likely to be safe for work) :

After a financial crash, I could no longer afford to hire artists like Al Rio. I started drawing things myself instead. I used my own superheroines and villains. (I had come up with a character called “Panther Girl” around 1972, and offered her to Marvel Comics in a fan letter. If they had run with the concept, she would have been the first mainstream African-American superheroine [she predates Storm of the X-Men by a few years], but I never heard back from anybody.) Basically, I created my own odd little universe where superheroines get KOed on a regular (daily) basis.
There are almost-nude superheroines in perilous predicaments at my Deviant Art page, so I won’t provide a link. But I draw and publish an odd peril scenario just about every day! You can find me at “Gytalf2000” at the Deviant Art website. I am nowhere near as good as Al Rio, but I do okay. I actually have fans amongst my fellow “sleepy superheroine” enthusiasts. Lots of attractive, scantily-clad women, bizarre beasties, and zany supervillains
Yeah, but the owner has planted trees around the yard which obscures my …hmm… Frank LLoyd Wright said, “Doctors can bury their mistakes and lawyers can visit theirs in prison, but all an architect can do is advise his clients to plant fast-growing trees.” You don’t suppose…
Thiswas for an assignment in my Intermediate Pottery class. It sat in my office up until retirement. It’s not a great work of art, but I like it best of everything I’ve ever made from clay.
Close second is a song I wrote a bit over 40 years ago. It’s a cute, bouncy little ditty that few people have heard, and once I’m dead, no one will remember it. And the world will be poorer for it. 
For some reason, this sends me to a download link for a ‘GOODLUCK.txt’, which appears to be a collection of email-addresses…? I don’t think it’s a problem on my end, I’ve tried with both my linux and windows machine.
Weird?!
Maybe my link expired and somebody else got handed it later on?
I’ll try something else.
Okay, now it’s here, and it should stick.
That works, thanks. I’ve only had time for a brief glimpse, but already I find the second one—In Reverse, We Do Not Die—absolutely striking in the image it invokes with so few lines.
That is really gratifying to hear, HMHW, thank you.
I admit that’s one of my favorites. What this might mean is that it’s all downhill from there. 
And it will be a long, long time before they change that logo.
It is everything!
So clever. Perfect.
I’m still pretty proud of this little thing I composed a few years ago:
It started with a riff I came up with while playing my bass guitar. I liked the riff, and came up with some more music to go with it.
