Frankie and Nibs   May 18, 2025 My sister asked if I wanted an old photo of me as a kid. I said sure. I was probably around 6 years old at the time, so sometime in the early 1970s. It was in Pittsburgh, where my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Rovin lived. Rovin was in the process of building a sailboat, which he used for quite a few years. Nibs, their dog, was supervising me. He was quite a smart dog. While it mgiht look like I'm holding a tool that's good at putting holes in things, which is not what you want a lot of in boats, I think it has a screwdriver attachment. My father had a darkroom in our house and it's likely we printed this picture ourselves. The full resolution scan of the photo his here.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
