Passing

The passing of a legend.

Poetry

Remember the Hollow Men shared poetry with one another? Why did we stop? Here’s one I clipped from the New Yorker and tacked to the studio wall a while ago.

Sketchbook Fridays

I know there has been a flurry of activity lately that we can hardly respond to but I wanted to keep this up (at least for now).    This was the result of some accidents playing with ink recently.

Decade’s Art

  I suppose this could category could designate different things for different people. It could mean art or shows that you’ve seen in the past decade, art that’s been created in the last decade, performing arts, movements in art, news about the arts, etc. I used a photo of Kara Walker’s artwork, because I think [...]

Gorgeous Stop Motion Peter and the Wolf

Has anyone seen this? I watched it in four parts after discussing The Fantastic Mr. Fox with my sister. It’s absolutely worth the twenty minutes (even if full grown wolves don’t have blue eyes). Here’s the link to part one: Peter and the Wolf

Sketchbook Friday

Sketchbook Fridays (Despite the Scant Response Last Friday)

 

Sketchbook Fridays

    Here’s an image from my sketchbook (with close-up), collage and acrylic and ink, that deals with the demonizing of wolves throughout decades of American History. I’d like to call it Demyth.

Recently

I finished Fahrenheit 451, Life Is a Miracle, as well as Midnight’s Children earlier this fall.

Genesis Poster

  Here’s the poster for the exhibition at UWEC Foster Gallery I designed. I’m very excited about having the work of these illustrators, writers, film-makers, character designers, theater producers, and creative producers.

Inspiration

Thanks, JE, for hosting Amanda and me last weekend. We had a wonderful time and were thoroughly inundated with artistic inspirations at every turn. I left with more motivation to return to my artistic nature than I have felt in a super long time, it was good for my soul. I would like to incorporate [...]

Sketchbook Fridays

Here are a few pages from one of my sketchbooks that I plan to turn into a full grown painting when I have a moment to paint.    

Speaking of new narrative forms

Peters may remember a friend of mine by the name of Jason Neulander, then Artistic Director of Salvage Vanguard Theater.  For the last decade or so he has been working on-again-off-again on The Intergalactic Nemesis.   It started as a radio show, then live performance, then comic book, and now live performance/comic book/online serial? The Intergalactic [...]

The internet is killing storytelling

This morning I heard about this piece, “The internet is killing storytelling” by Ben Macintyre of the Times from Steve Inskeep of NPR who heard about it from Tina Brown of the Daily Beast.  I haven’t finished reading it yet but it seems relevant to many of our concerns.  Hopefully I’ll find time to turn [...]

Resurection (not the title of my painting but of my blog entry).

This is from a series I am doing on animal/human territory collisions. Somewhat related to my painting Apex. This is a parking lot near the Eau Claire mall where I saw a fox darting between two SUVs that inspired this painting of a trio of foxes. There should be two more to come, but right [...]
