This cake! You want it in your mouth, trust me. I had an older recipe that I made a few years back for some of my gluten free friends. This weekend I decided to see if I could modify it just a bit to make it Paleo friendly as well. […]

This weekend I did something I was told I would never be able to do. In early 2003 at Fort Bragg, NC I jumped out of a C17 (Airborne operation) and got slammed into the ground by a high wind gust. On that jump I destroyed the cartilage between two […]
EDITING NOTE: I posted this to my Facebook in July of 2013. Crossposting it to my blog to save, and also updating with pictures. ******* Many years ago, I was flying in a Naval helicopter from Northern Iraq into Southern Turkey, and that helicopter crashed into PKK territory along the […]
I was in the art studio at 7 am this morning. With luck I’ll be done for the day by 8pm or so. These are pretty standard hours for me to be working when I’m on a production push, which is most of the time from about April through mid-December. […]

I had such good intentions. I set a reminder on my Google calendar to *ping* me every Monday with a reminder to update this blog. ~And then LIFE happens, and there is beer to be brewed, art projects to finish, ripening veggies in the garden that need to be harvested, […]
My (SidhefireArts) website started out as just an online space to share my art work. A few months ago I decided I wanted to start transitioning it to include other bits and pieces of my life and thoughts as well. “Life as art.” Well, and a better space than Facebook […]
This? This is an exercise in patience for me. I have an pervasive fascination with historical pottery. In particular, I absolutely adore the classic Greek vessels primarily used for wine. As an artist and a potter I am inspired and one might say almost driven to want to ~make that […]
