Monument

This hilltop oak is a local landmark. Twenty years ago, I photographed it many times with film cameras; this is the first time I’ve shot it with a digital. A small fence protects the tree from seedtime and harvest damage now, and a young man whose family has operated this farm for generations told me his dog is buried here. Can’t think of a better place.

Hemingray Number 45

For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of trading in antiques, collectibles etc is photographing them. This is a Hemingray Number 45 glass insulator.  Millions were produced for long distance telephone lines from 1938-1960.  They're not highly sought after, or worth a great deal; collectibility is often about rarity, and too many were made. 

Form not only served function beautifully in this design, but held its own in a way we'd consider indulgent, wasteful now.  I wonder how many of today's similarly utilitarian components, packaging products etc will survive this long, be considered lovely art objects one day.     

Postcards, greeting cards, and matted prints of this photograph are available at Redbubble. Prices start under $3.

A Dotpunk At Heart

Here's an ink, graphite, and charcoal drawing from a few years ago, At The Night's Heart. This step-by-step details how I was working then; my thanks to ArtGraphica for republishing.

Some things have changed since those days- I haven't done much inking lately, and charcoal has assumed a much larger role in my work. But I'm still a stippling fool, still a dotpunk at heart.

Postcards, greeting cards, and matted prints of At The Night's Heart are available at Redbubble.

Once Upon A Time

Affordable prints of my drawing Once Upon A Time (Ink and Graphite, 2002) are now available at Bluecanvas. Cards, canvas wraps, posters, and skins are also available.  

It's a little startling to realize ten years have passed since I created this drawing. One gallery provided a magnifying glass for viewers. These prints are enlargements of the original drawing, and when I prepared the file, it was a little startling too to be reminded just how small and tight I worked in those days. These enlargements maintain the original's level of detail and finish, and I'm happy that viewers will be able to explore this place as those gallerygoers did. 

A Higher Calling

A Higher Calling                      Charcoal, Graphite; 6 3/4" x 7 1/2"

Cut, Split, Stacked

No time for laying stone lately. But there's this. Much more momentary, but I've learned to value momentary. Life helps with that. Andy Goldsworthy's work does too, and opens up your head to a gazillion possibilities. Art is anything you make of it. Greeting cards of this image are available at my RedBubble store.
