Aloha All!
Thanks so much for all the hugs and nice comments and jokes at Damons!
it was fun AND overwhelming seeing all y'all!
But not as overwhelming as Thor's velvets.......
:)

Brad!
Thank you ,my kind friend!
Been enjoying taking a flat linear drawing and diagonalizing
it and playing with light and shadow and creating different planes
yet still trying to keep it readable...talk about gettin transported!
Stuart Davis likened abstract painting to jazz and loooooved Bach organ fugues as well-both of them playing with notes and riffs and timing...
balancing it..kinda an aural type of painting!
And my pleasure about the Damons...
Everyone on the planet needs to see your art!
(except the dictators,cuz they would kidnap you
and make you their court painter!)

Ben!Pomona-Glass House-last night
opted to stay in the studio out of the rain
heard they're playing the Troubadour this weekend...
Spermy's going...you busy?

Sneaks!
thanks!
i have a little secret pet-project involving fabric prints so stay tuned!
the show a Damons was swell and i was stoked how many people left the booth with an adopted piece! I hope it brings them all joy and giggles!

Ben-they're waiting for you at my house...
i told em they were going to Frankies and they were excited!
Thanks man!

After Damons I spent a lot of time in the studio unpacking and such
when suddenly the fever hit!
Seeing as i had some new pads of watercolor paper
i did what comes natural!
Finished 8 pieces (3 are awaiting scans-cuz they're BIG!
and about 20 sketchbook pages of abstract studies and solutions..
i had a few days-was in hermit mode
why not play and relax and recover from Damons people overload! :)

here's what i come up wit...

"Five Tikis"

"the Traveller's Tale"

i like how the lower right corner evokes a ship with passengers
just slightly......

"the Rowers" a standard theme these days...
always fun to draw and elaborate upon

"the Grouch"

testing the waters on flattening multiple views/overlapping/etc.
diggin the way the hands landed on the page! :)

and lastly..
"the Sun at Rest"
a kind of Paul Klee inspired gent!

That's all!
back to Work!
