Help Save a Historic House from Destruction - 3 days left

Now the house is facing destruction if enough money is not raised to move it. Visit www.captainscotthouse.org on how you can help […]

Talk 02 - Art is a “Real” Job

While I may not have the space to do much large artwork, there is a definite difference in the mood of my surroundings when I sit down to paint or draw. I’ll put the cats in the bedroom or bathroom, either put in earplugs or turn on music and tell Becca to let me […]

Talk 01 - Art is a “Real Job”

You do art for a living?

The Faith of an Artist, A Response to Casey Klahn

Link Love: March 9th, 2007

This is probably a take off of Darren’s Speedlinking over at www.Problogger.net, but for the sake of feeling happy today because of the nice weather, I’ll call it “Link Love” (which is not in reference to anything below either).

Garden Fountains?

My wife has really been getting into blogging lately. She even writing over at Mother Earth’s Garden, another b5 blog. I have been thinking about ways that I could join her in the garden with some kind of art project. Part of the problem is that we don’t really have the space […]

Coping with the death of a comic superhero.

I’ve never been a comic collector or reader, At least not of the Marvel or DC comics. But it fascinates me that such a long-running illustrated hero such as Captain America is being mourned so widely.

The latest edition will show the superhero dying on the steps of a courthouse in New York, after […]

A look at the world of O’Keefe

Born to humble dairy farmers, Georgia O’Keefe is famous for her sexualized flower portraits and her view of the western culture of America.
Her marriage to photographer Alfred Stieglitz was the element that catapulted her to widespread recognition as a serious artist. Though a very exceptional artist, she did represent a unique artistic genre to the […]
