Today I thanked all my Facebook readers who for me in the People’s Artist competition, urged them not to buy any votes on my behalf, and committed to posting an artwork a day for 10 days by way of thanks (and showing off). This is the one I posted today. I forget what I originally called it (it’s been over 20 years) but I think “Glendale Bird” is a good name because I am a loyal son of Glendale, Arizona, and the laser transfer on the bird’s flank is an image from the Great Seal of Glendale on the side of the Glendale City Council building that I took with my then-cutting-edge 3.1 megapixel camera in the early 2000s.

People who want to vote for me as the People’s Artist may do so once every 24 hours between now and May 13. If you are one of those people, and reside in the US or Canada, here is a link:

Please do not buy any additional votes for me! And if you do successfully vote for me, please let me know in the Comments section.

Thank you, Friends!
