Welcome to Pablo Alto Studios!

Right off the bat — this site is undergoing a (very) gradual makeover. Bits and pieces will be coming and going - if you come back and it looks completely different (or woefully out of date) you'll have me to thank (or blame)...

Browse the portfolio — my site offers images taken from around the country and the globe, capturing slices of life and color. From panoramic vistas to the murky interiors of urban dives and diners, photos are available in selected formats and sizes. I'll be adding to it over time, so check back often!

Greenwood/Phinney Artwalk

Recent-ish News

After an extended run at Mae's Phinney Ridge Cafe, the "Colors" show has changed venue — now gracing the walls at Balderdash Books on upper Greenwood Avenue.



Pulp Fridge Magnets

Long a fascination of mine, I've turned my hobby of collecting vintage pulp books into a fledgling enterprise. If you enjoy the lurid art of that golden era of pulp fiction, then www.pulpmagnet.com is the place for you! Deadly dames, crooked cops and callous killers – as well as other genres – are featured here.

Visit often – new covers are added each month!
