Art+Fortunes=Art Fortunes
A while back I wrote my list of 10 ideas. Of course, as soon as I posted it, I realized that I had left one out. And it was a really important one, too. It involved the next step in an ongoing project of recycling paper by using it in collages and then using the…

The Zen of Graphic Design… NOT.
Well, we’re into March now, so the house is warming up a bit, making it possible to work in the studio without freezing even if I don’t turn on the electric heater. So why aren’t I in there working on one or more of the “10 ideas“? I blame it on Graphic Design. That seems…

Running with the Cows (or, “Til the Cows Come Home – Georgia Road Trip, Part 10)
So, where was I? Right… we were leaving Aphrodisias, and I was giving Harun the option of camping at a place about 2k from the site, or driving all the way to Pamukkale (which was not really all that far – we could make it in time for dinner). I was betting ’50-50′ (under normal conditions,…

Visuals
I’d like to announce, “I hate to interrupt the flow of the Georgia Road Trip story” – but that would be untrue. Fact is, the words weren’t flowing, so I decided to go back to the drawing board – literally. So, “below please find” a few new collages that will be making their way into…

Prognostication
If you’ve read some of my earlier blog posts, then you may know that I decided to take 52 of these postcard-size collages and turn them into a deck of fortunetelling cards. It seemed the logical thing to do, since the number of people really interested in looking at artwork seemed infinitessimely smaller than the number of people…

Back to the Drawing(CUTTING) Board
Yes, we are back to the cutting board! The reason for that is simple: my precious French oil pastels are feeling just as overwhelmed from the heat as I am. They’re not quite butter, but they’re not quite up to form, either. So, rather than put the in the fridge and see what happens, I…

Decisions, Decisions…
One of the things I’ve been wondering about lately is how we make decisions. Actually, one of the big questions for me is how we decide what we’re going to believe, but that’s way too big for me to take up here. The much smaller, but still very interesting, question I’ve been thinking…

Arts Administration (Readying the Ottoman Princess)
I think the blues have won. No, I don’t mean I’m sad: I mean the feedback from Facebook about which image would make the best Ottoman Princess was leaning to the lady above. (In the final version, I’ll incorporate some yellow and red into the scarf around her waist, and the style will be more…

Water Collages
So, here we are, quite in the Throes of Summer, and my plans for hanging out in the ‘outdoor section of my studio’ and working on more of the Water Paintings have been thwarted by a. computer problems; b. developing a project for the ‘2015 Bodrum Biennial’; c. doing menial labour to raise funds in re:…
