If you’re a regular reader of this website’s posts and updates, you probably noticed a few changes and maybe even wonder what that is all about. While this site is predominately an art site featuring my artworks and backstories, it has always been more than that. In the two-plus decades since I started blogging, I’ve posted on many subjects dear to me, including art and art, food and beverage, cars and motorcycles, and the occasional tech-inspired writing.
In this week’s update, Bob shares updates on Half Bird Chicken & Beer, Broken Yolk Cafe, Crafthaus Brewery, The George Sportsmen’s Lounge, Mijo Modern Mexican Restaurant, Brezza at Resorts World, and more.
Mijo is a Spanish term of endearment and after dining at this coastal Mexican restaurant at the newly-opened Durango Casino & Resort you’ll likely feel affection for this unique eatery. In addition, while the coastal theme is prevalent through an array of seafood on the menu, an added plus is the use of a wood-fired grill to add a touch of smoked BBQ flavors to the offerings.

Finding these photos brought back some great memories. I was surprised at the time even to get this project. I was only twenty years old when a representative from an art gallery in Scottsdale saw a couple of murals I had painted for a tanning salon and asked me to paint one for the National Pump Company in Glendale, Arizona. This was one of my first professional airbrushed murals, painted about seven years before Hollywood Video was even a thing, and paved the way for many great mural projects to follow.
A few months back, I shared a story about my forgotten art and memories. I mentioned that I had recovered my large rolling flat file with 17 drawers full of who-knows-what and a whole lot of whatnot. Recently, I tripped across some old portfolio pages in a large envelope with a few photos from some Hollywood Video murals from 1989-1990.
