stamp etching

Here is one stamp I etched today....The writing here is true to the original stamp as it has a slightly hand drawn feel to it. I like when things have a hand drawn feel and not a cold computer digital rendered look. I started with the easy stamps first to build up to the harder ones. Bad photo of the piece, sorry...

song for a sunday

play the song.

sunday update

I painted a lot yesterday so I did not have to think about this coming week and the horrid deadline I am facing regarding my glass stamp project. Dali once said an artist must be able to paint a pear in the midst of rape and pillage. (tune out the world around you.)I look at painting in much the same way a child builds a furniture tent indoors when It is storming outside. I hope I am not the only person who did that as a child, but for me art is a place to hide from the world outside. My goal is to be done by 100% by Halloween. After that I will prepare for art Basel in Miami.

the holy grail

In my favorite museum (the Met in NYC) there is a chalice that many consider the actual Holy Grail....neat fact, isn't it? I have no opinion except to share that fact. It holds two quarts (which is the correct amount for passover.) I will of course place this in my last supper! My blog is like school but different.

Titan

Saturn's largest moon is titan. it is a nice place to visit as the avg. temp is 300 degrees below zero and has steady rain. The reason I posted this is I think this is the nicest image I have seen in three years. I cant stop staring at it. It is even better than an original gardega.
