  • Creation in Isolation VS a Vacuum

    Ex nihilo nihil fit-Latin saying I have a fairly good size print that says just that. Actually, I have a whole mess of “Phrase Prints” left over from my thesis at MICA. Too many to count. I really want to find one of this phrase and hang it up on my wall somewhere. Make a…

  • A Little Landscape

    Just a little gray-day plein air watercolor. Far from a perfect piece. It’s 8″x5″ of a sketchbook page. I don’t think it’s outstanding in any way but it has a certain kind of poorly-drawn charm to it.

  • So it’s been a while…

    …about a month, little over, and what have I been doing for the past month? Well, I’ll tell you it’s nothing amazing. The most I’ve done has been adding rows to a spreadsheet. Said spreadsheet is a collection of the metrics and metadata from my journals of the past 16 years or so. The data…

  • On Thank You

    First and foremost, thank you for taking time to read my little blog. Should you choose to donate to my little cause, thank you again. If you decide not to donate, thanks just the same. I’m not in this for some amount of money or fame but for self improvement and accountability. The idea is…

  • Unlimited Pallet Pt. 2

    I have finished the Swatch Sheet from Grabie. It only took about a week of filling it in my free time. I have to say that I’m really pleased with all of the colors in the kit. I know here will still be the struggle of too many options and wanting to use them all…

  • Graphite and Paper

    (A note: I wrote the following out on paper in pencil and this is my best attempt at transcribing it. There is commentary after the transcription.) I really like the feeling of physical mark making. I also love the feeling and sound of a pencil on paperThe words I write end up being mostly completely…

  • Pentaptych

    (5 small bonsai) These need some color. However, I don’t really see myself doing all of that. This piece is probably abandoned. Probably. I could get some opaques like some acrylic or gauche and fill in the greenery, maybe a little more in some other areas. I could but also I’m fairly sure I’m out…

  • The Mediated Experience

    In short, looking at a picture of the thing instead of the thing itself. There’s a huge difference between the images on our screens and the real thing. In schools images appear on computer screens and projected on walls. Outside of there we look at images on our phones most of the time, or on…
