Prompt
This weeks blog prompt is “What have you been working on?” and it’s really the only one I’ve found relevant to my life. So it’s the first one i’m going to use for an entry. For the past few weeks or so I’ve been working on more bonsai watercolors. There you have it, the shortest…

Boy howdy
It has been a long time since I’ve been here doing the thing. It’s been over two months and I’ve barely had time to put pen to paper or fingers to keys. I have been making. Not much. But some. Really, I’ve been reading a massive book and loving it. I have been saying to…

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…

Mr. Fungus
That’s just a working title for the painting and this entry. Maybe it’ll change. Maybe it won’t. A rolling stone gather no moss, or so they say. I’m not here to dispel that saying but to confirm it. I’ve been largely stagnant for quite some time. I am trying to break out of the stagnation…
