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…

Heads UP!
Blog reader, be(a)ware: Next week (god willing and the creek don’t rise) I’ll be launching an Indiegogo campaign to fund printing of a limited edition of ‘Art Fortunes’. For those of you who missed them, here (and here) are links to some posts explaining the ‘project’ (‘work’), which involves making collages and sharing interpretations of…

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…

Pick a card.
I should be doing my morning yoga, but I left my telephone/timer downstairs, so I decided I would write to you instead. (I am trying to get into a routine of yoga every morning or every other morning; I’ve gotten from 5 minutes up to 15 minutes, and I NEED to do some this morning…

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…

Predictions, Predictions
Since I came back from New York in October, I’ve maintained the policy of turning on the news as infrequently as possible. Regardless, it is getting to be that time of year when the tv news shows are full of prognosticators called in to reveal what we should all be expecting for the coming year. Last year,…

What’s Going On In My World
And the totals are in! OK, actually, I did not really do any quantitative data analysis – not in the spirit of fortunetelling, I don’t think; however, it did strike me as odd that the people who came to the Art Fortunetelling sessions (see here for details) kept turning up the same cards. What are…

Return to the Museum
When in Ankara, the most important thing to do – the only really important thing to do – is to stop at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. This is definitely one of the best museums in the world. And it has provided me with tons of inspiration. This piece – I called it ‘The Turkey…

18 December in Ankara : International Migrants’ Day / Homesickness (?)
If you’re in Ankara, I’d love to see you… On the occasion of “18 ARALIK ULUSLARARASI GÖÇMENLER GÜNÜ”, the Bodrum Kaymakam’s Office invited me, along with 4 other ‘yabancı‘, to attend an evening event at the Vali Galip Demirel Vilayetler Evi / Gölbaşı-ANKARA. We’ll be showing off the contributions to society made by the Migrants…
