These two illustrations are in a new adult coloring book entitled 'The Route 66 Coloring book'. The black and white drawings were drawn by other artists I just colored them with my favorite medium colored pencils using in the boots drawing-orange, yellow, red and black, brown and tan. In the main illustration it's a drawing of one view of Route 66 traveling down the road. I used shades of blue for the sky, shaded together black and gray for the road as well as greens for the trees and in the fore front I used orange and red for I made the little area like a flower patch on one side and light green on the other side. Again, I used colored pencil for this one as well.

Ida Shaghoian and the Quiet Architecture of Feeling
In a contemporary art world often driven by immediacy and spectacle, Ida Shaghoian offers a markedly different experience. Her paintings unfold slowly, rewarding attention rather than demanding it. They are not depictions of places one can locate on a map, but emotional environments shaped by memory, sensation, and atmosphere. Through abstraction and restraint, her work creates spaces where viewers are invited to pause, reflect, and reconnect with their own inner landscapes.

A Modern African Tarot
The thirteenth card in A Modern African Tarot invites a radical shift—not in motion, but in perception. Where XI JUSTICE confronts truth and accountability, XII HANGED MAN asks us to release control, embrace stillness, and see the world from a new angle. This card reimagines the traditional Hanged Man archetype through African patience, spiritual surrender, and the wisdom of waiting.
