Howdy,
I wonder if you would take a look at my artwork. Some of it is western. But also other genre of whatever I feel or “see”. I love simple, “out of the tube” colors.
I do write. But nothing you might like to see right now. Maybe later. And I do not edit worth my salt! But I do like to write.
I have written three books. Nothing I would brag about, and like I said, nothing you are looking for, except one that is unfinished, a sci-fi. I will keep you in mind to give you a look if I can finish it within this lifetime.
My art url’s are listed below (free sites)
Thanks,
Dan Bunch
