My art runs the gamut from primitive cave paintings to the post-modern, influenced by traditional Asian brushwork, modern painters and New Yorker cartoons, doodles to bizarro. My subject matter is meditation, sports, politics, social conventions, puns, fashion -- in short everything that crosses my brush/mind.  My Inklings ... creations brought to life by ink, paper, brush and thin air.  The secret of the work is in each stoke of the brush.  Please contact me at dragonwenger@gmail.com to purchase a painting.

 Hymnus Ad Patrem Sinensis
 Zenshin Phillip Whalen

I praise those ancient Chinamen
Who left me a few words,
Usually a pointless joke or a silly question
A line of poetry drunkenly scrawled on the margin of a quick
splashed picture — bug, leaf,
caricature of Teacher
on paper held together now by little more than ink
& their own strength brushed momentarily over it.
Their world & several others since
Gone to hell in a handbasket, they knew it --
Cheered as it whizzed by --
& conked out among the busted spring rain cherryblossom winejars
Happy to have saved us all.
