Glimpse Exposure

Never blink twice while riding through the woods. You will miss such things.
Snowfield Study
Jun. 21 2009
Within the first few moments of the 2009 summer solstice. Remnants of a time once spent.
SYNERGIZE
Jun. 14 2009
Dredged up from the basement of my workplace, I found this strange motivational poster that featured a white spruce tree field with the word "SYNERGIZE" boldly emblazoned across the bottom. My guess was that one of the offices had vacated its space and dumped all of its supplies in the basement. My first thought was to ignore this odd treasure, but then the more I looked at it the more I saw appropriation possibilities. Here it is now, freshly re-worked and re-named "Reverb Woods". May the synergistic properties lay in wait and wonder.

"Incremental Indifference in a Still Place"
The Early Days of a Hot Source Approaching
May. 31 2009
Summer encroaching and materializing along these Western skies. The days are indeed longer and the shadows cast distorted shapes at the 8:00 pm mark. I was out in this for several days wondering and rolling (atop a wooden plank). Behind old brush pine and within overgrown vacant lots there lies the forgotten places; little patches of quiet solitude where perhaps the wind wisps and carries the detritus of the day along to other lost spaces. Here in this I exist and made this piece below titled "Nature's Editing".
ETA LA Art Show
May. 19 2009
A while back some friendly folks contacted me from the ETA LA (Enormous Tiny Art Los Angeles) and requested that I send them some pieces under 10" x 10". I happily did so and now they will be showcased along with several other talented artist's work from around the nation. ETA have been curating shows for several years on the East coast and this June will be their first West coast endeavor. I am excited to be a part of it and you can read all about it right here.
Thursday Last Thursday: Alberta Street Arts
May. 02 2009
Ventured into the realm of street art selling for the first time last Thursday at the monthly Alberta Arts Streetwalk. It was quite an experience to be out in the plebelands mingling with the myriad passing sentient bodies. So many people walked by in instant flashes it became difficult to tell if they were merely looking or looking through. I know from past experience that the "looking through" effect overtakes me when presented with so many visual distractions. Alberta St. last Thursday is like this. However, several kind folks stopped to say hello and show genuine interest in the selected works hanging there on the fence. Thank you to all my friends who stopped by to help and support. I would do this again, yes.
Majesty Tree
Apr. 19 2009
A new piece, just surfaced the other day. I was once under the coverage of this great arboreal. Like those drifting summer days in the Mojave desert, time spent under shade and out of sun. Languid hours dreaming and remembering. Memory serves and is precious to contain.
Seasonal Shifts
Apr. 12 2009
Springtime has always held a sense of confusion and precarious balance for myself. The winter tries to hold on steadfast to the bitter end while warmth slowly attempts to creep in around all the fuzzy edges. It is not a bad time, but rather an odd transitional period between the two seasons. I feel for the most part that the months of April and May are essentially a limbo period, but ironically a limbo period that fosters growth and productivity. For this time I dedicate a new piece below titled Day of the Rams. For these sentient beings I only hope for the best balance and grip into the new folds of time.
