Valentine’s Day Open Studio
So, a friend of mine mentioned an artist she read about who was trying to survive on donations she was soliciting as a means of support for her art-making. I’m guessing that if she’s doing this through a crowdfunding web site, she’s “giving away” pieces of artwork as “gifts” to the folks making these donations. I suppose that…

Wisteria Books
So, I made these books last month, see? Back when the wisteria was in full bloom here in Bodrum. Here we call it “Mor Salkım” – in other words, “Hanging Purple”. Boy, it was just hanging all over – I even followed Fadime’s advice and made some Wisteria Jam – believe it, or not. I…

The Little Book of Dirt
From “the psudo-science microbiology” comes… “The Little Book of Dirt” or, why we all need to remember to wash our hands, and perhaps not head for that box of poison to get rid of those pesky little varmints in our garden, especially when (we read that) coca-cola will do the trick… The end.

Pavement Landscapes
Ta-da! Finally, the first Little Book of Pavement is finished! (And it is really little…) So, here is the view of Pavement Landscapes: What happens when you build too many houses on the hill – and then it rains… The End. (So, what do you think?)

Top of the table
so, books… did I mention something about making some books?… I did do a lot of cutting and folding. Snapshot of my drawing table at the moment: I did do SOME work on getting the books up and running: but I am having more fun at the moment reading. I was particularly touched by a…

Delayed Pavement…
Heh, heh, heh… No, I am not referring to the fact that the municipality still hasn’t sent anyone ’round to pick up the chunks, let alone fill in the holes, even though I’ve already forgotten when the flooding was that lifted up the pavement, it’s been so long… Yes, I am referring to the fact…
