Stages

A brief career outline

The six drawings below are selections from stage 1 of my young adult commercial art career life, whereupon I had planned to produce an amateur animated film. I was on a tight budget in 1974 and didn’t have a proper camera… just a bunch of drawings. The project was shelved.

In stage 2 of my professional life, I became an electronics technician… Officially in 1983, after having studied what looked like alien landscapes for a long time. Investigations actually began with my preteen explorations of an eight transistor radio. Whereupon, I eventually evolved into professional career life stage 3… circuit board design in 1986.

Within those alien looking 👀 circuit board landscapes, I eventually played a very teeny tiny part in helping with the internet in a strictly CAD role. From whence, I initially retired in 2020… stage 4. Whereupon, thanks to stage 4, I pretty much goof off as a professional retiree now since the end of May 2024.

This website is staging bits of my accrued life. Thusly, hoping to help others better stage theirs.

1974 – Storyboard drawings

This dragon (Covid) personifies the demon within my being, ever since I can remember. He’s deceptively beautiful, but relatively easy to peg… especially these older days.

I’m a retired fully human family man. Except for some unavoidable honey-do’s, I pretty much goof off for a living now. Ed’s Art Net is a sharing of my art and grandiose thinking.
