With Famous Golfers Tom Watson and David Feherty.David Feherty is one of my idols. His wit and irreverent sense of humor is perhaps only second to Vonnegut. I love this guy and was pleased to paint an irreverent piece featuring him as a thank you from Welcome House, who raised over 1/4 of a million dollars in two hours. Over 1,000 people were there.

Crushed Diet Coke #1

Without the Burden of Sanity, A comedic Adventure, 350pgsBuy from Amazon or Barnes and Noble Online. Read if you like irreverent humor. My Nom de Plume is W.D.Benson in honor of my hero P.G.Wodehouse.I'm an avid reader. It helped to save my life. I know this sounds pretentious as all hell, but as far as construction; Painting, writing music and writing books share an almost indistinguishable process. Start with nothing. Create something. "If you can speak you can write" -Christopher Hitchens.

With KC golf Legend Tom Watson. Painting I donatedI donated to the annual Welcome House Breakfast, which raised over a quarter of a million dollars in two hours. Welcome House is a men's recovery/sobriety facility, which as an addict/alcoholic in recovery since 2017 is naturally near and dear to me.
