Then... was when

Posted about 1 month ago

Illios are art which mix words with images in a way that they become an inseparable idea or feeling.

Last weekend was when I did “Then”. And Then was about when my buddy Jim was with me in college and it was when, ...

I GOT DISTRACTED - OOOPS!

Posted 2 months ago

As you can see if you click here well, I’ve been preoccupied with a great personal loss. About_ thirty pounds_ of loss actually. And I’m determined to keep loosing and fitting myself into smaller spaces for the next three months.

Which is why I only just noticed two zippy spirit raisers. “Zippy”??? Where’d dat come from? Welllllll…

Sunday Morning's Mood

Posted 2 months ago

The day of rest frequently comes after the night of intensity. It’s not so much a punctuation as a tilde. Huh? A tilde is that funny symbol that looks like ~. We don’t quite know what to do with it, right? It’s not like a • , nor even a smilie like :-}. Saturday nights are things we look forward to all week long. Few of us actually look forward to Sunday morning, but like the ~ , there’s nothin…

Idea Versus Style

Posted 3 months ago

It’s been said that when the critic starts reviewing the scenery, the play’s in trouble.

So I worry when I get intrigued by a dramatic style… Even when it seems certain to dramatically reinforce both the idea and feeling I want to communicate… I worry that it will distract. Which is why I was reluctant to post !http://images-2.redbubble.net/img/art/cropped/size:xsmall/view:main/3738928-...

Yesterday's Pigeon Flies At Night

Posted 4 months ago

Yesterday is a foreign place and its buildings are its postcards.

I’m off to find a theme among the three of my images which have won features from distinguished (and picky) group judges this week.

First the decision makers at Urban Art added my !http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/cropped/size:xsmall/view:main/2099620-2-yeste…

Prof. Howard Hill Conducting

Posted 4 months ago

There are 1,800 people in the city of Coudersport. Which are a big slice of the 2,700 people who totally populate Potter County, Pennsylvania where Coudersport is the county seat.

BUT… BUT… as anyone can see, Coudersport is urban. And this is where you go in Potter County to find urban art. More importantly, it is where you go in America to find the roots of almost all urban art.

Once Upon A Hockey Player's Smile...

Posted 4 months ago

Does each new generation mug the leavings of its predecessor? It is an adolescent’s job to get kicked out of the nest, right?

Usually what happens is that the whipersnappers knock down a big piece of whatever their parents built. So that a lot of the streets in smaller American cities look like the hockey player’s smile… A gold cap here, a dark gap there, maybe even a pretentious cubic z…

“I’ve often found” She giggled, “that a guy’s eyes are the window to his goal.”

“Goal? Huh?”

“His intentions Sweetie. They are a pair of revelations. And, um, pretty good meters to judge how I’m doing.”

“With him you mean?”

“Well, yeah…” her smile grew coy.. “At a given moment.”.

“Okay, so wuddaya think about this guy here?”

The brain's lazy meat

Posted 4 months ago

The brain is a lazy piece of meat. It only gets a little power from the body, so it takes shortcuts. And that means it rarely even sees the commonplace, ordinary, and everyday stuff all around us. Yep, the familiar becomes invisible.

But when we go somewhere new… our eyes open… freshen. Wheeee! So a visit to my portfolio will take you to my vi…
