REALITY?: Winding Down
Have been doing nothing but picture framing this past week, dropping into sleep for a few hours between the fifteen-hour days on my feet. Found that despite the stress, depression, adult ADD, or whatever’s been causing the low production output … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: In for a penny, in for a pound.
My ability to focus comes with a Kevlar string attached. In other words, I can’t break free. After confirmation from a friend that Recycling was too distracting with imagery (boy, that reminds me of the first story, Reflections, where I … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Response
I suppose this is new media, at least it is communication-related… I’ve discovered a way to combat the phone robots and get put through instead to a real person. In calling the telephone directory service to get the local number … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: The day’s not lookin’ good…
Well the dawn brought the slaughter of the mailbox to light, and first comment I find on the weblog this morning is about my site sucking and it should be off the internet. It took me years to get back … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Christmas Parties
Yes, we heard the noise last night, checked it out, but noticed nothing except a car driving away. But this is what greeted us in the morning sun. That’s my mailbox halfway down the neighbor’s lawn–the black thing by the … Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Theme
Wish I could show you the "timeline" of Recycling; with the frames squished together, you can see the bulge of a round form in the edge of each frame. The theme then, is a circle, which affirms nicely the premise … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Done?
All the borrowed photography has been replaced with my own work, either hand drawn with pencil or drawn in Photoshop. It’s been quite a project. While I’m kinda proud of it, I know that there’s still an image overload. While … Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: “Editing” Art
Couldn’t do what I thought in Photoshop–couldn’t master the look of pencil-drawn-in filling in Edgar’s suit–so I ended up back “at the drawing board.” But I did turn to computer assistance in colorizing, cropping, and adding a background. I’m not … Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & EDGAR & I: Portrait
Well, I think I’ve created my Poe. There was some tweaking to do with the eyes, mouth and shape of the jaw, and I didn’t bother with the suit and cravat because that’ll be easier, I’m sure in Photoshop. I … Continue reading

LITERATURE: Academic Approval
Well this is kinda neat: A high school in Los Angeles has a link to one of my postings on Hurston’s The Gilded Six Bits in their course assignment. Guess the teachers use Google too! Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Skill and Effort
As well as learned technique I should add. And I’m finding out that what I’d learned in courses on literature and writing need be applied in art as well. As you can see, my version of Edgar is coming out … Continue reading

REALITY?: And all the other categories of my life
Lousy way to spend a REALITY? Friday before the holidays–at a funeral service once again. Came home reeking of a wonderful perfume and wish I knew who I’d hugged to get it so embedded in my black mourning jacket. I … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Art
Well, I thought I was going to have to depend on the old technology for drawing. I needed to replace the photo images of Mars, Earth, Edgar Allen Poe, Jesus Christ and a tunnel. Only one of which could I … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY?: Mixing ’em Up
Time is at a premium right now–with the busy Christmas rush in the frameshop. But I also admit to getting totally immersed in reworking the images on the Recycling a/v poem to the near-exclusive involvement of all my creative force. … Continue reading
