Tornado Joe - First Pieces

The black and white painting is the piece I did the morning after the dream in 1997. Those with the manuscript for the story will recognize the players, but I'm not letting much out until it's published.

The sculpture is the bad guy in the story. I have begun some very, very rough sketches for each stanza in my sketchbook... i'm up to stanza 9 of 44... I have a way to go... PLUS they need to be much tighter. They look like cocktail napkin work right now, but it's just to flesh out the flow.
