Every year, my son, my father, and I go to the local Circus World Museum to take a little step back in time and take in some circus history. My son and I really enjoy looking and finding the crazy absurd posters/photos.

I'm excited that my artwork Septenary Circles was included in the 2023 AMS Calendar of Mathematical Imagery, along with eleven other nice pieces. Septenary Circles depicts the 26 Langford sequences of order 7.
