Gimme Space!





Astronomy pic of the day was a huge inspiration for some early work i did out of college. It was a phase of everything outer space. ...... Here is an image of an oil on canvas from that series. They ranged from 4 to 6 feet in width and about 3 to 4 feet high. I wanted these to be some kind of "universal flags". the idea, needless to say, didnt fly. ahem. They are still rolled up in my studio.

Astronomy Pic of the Day




There is a picture of the cosmos for every day of every year. And there will be after the year has ceased to be recorded. We continue to "see" further and further into space and yet never really get any further as a species. We just have stronger telescopes. And i think the more magnified the telescope the smaller an smaller and we become and we just regress back into apes and then amoebas then we climb back into the womb of the angry bloody goddess. This technology here will eat itself. The human race will eat itself. The United States, certainly...will eat itself. However..sit back and please enjoy a picture of the day brought to you by NASA. You might learn something. Maybe even about yourself.

Paint with Swatch



I didnt have any paint at the time, so i went to Walmart in the middle of Virginia countryside and took all the pa int swatches they had. There were two that went together but i dont have a bigger image of the red piece. The two sold at a Montserrat College of Art Auction.
