In Blog

…or something about things you might find here…

it’s not always easy for me to know what i’ll do before i do it.  i’ve found it’s better for me to say what i have done after i’ve done it, than to say what i will do before i do it because what i do often takes turns and spirals that i enjoy exploring without having to hold to a particular outcome…

that said, i suspect some of the things you’re likely to find in this blog will include a wide variety of what i do through my art.  which is likely to include works in a variety of stages and images with various reasons for existing and creations that i just plain enjoy creating such as:

.

• Drawings – particularly ink and colored ink, graphite, colored pencil and a few – or many – of the other drawing materials that i may become excited about for any reason

• Watercolors – both pure and slightly to greatly combined with other materials

• Acrylics – again both pure and slightly to greatly combined with other materials

• Sketchbooks and Journal Entries – any way i can think of that i want to try

• Mixed Media – which includes a variety of mixes in ways that appeal to me

• Digital Drawing and Painting – in a few of the stunning ways in which this technology can be used
  

• Digital Mixed Media Collage – again in any way that i can think of that appeals to me
  

• Photographs and Altered Photographs – including scanner photography and montage

• Haiga and Haiku – with a wide range of imagery (Haiga is the combining of Image with Haiku)

• Mail Art or Postal Art formats and related materials including: ATCs/ACEOS, postcards, 4 x 4s, chunky books, skinny books, altered books, envelopes, faux artistamps, embellishing stamps, and anything else i might be able to send through the post office.

• and anything else i might think of that i want to try…

.

i’m also likely to show things i’m doing in current – or near current – moments as well as things from moments past and what ever else i have on my mind as it might relate to my art. …which as i see it is just about inclusive of the all-of-life-that-i-have, in general.

my hope is to post about 5-6 times a week although i’m sure there will be a few times when i post more than that as well as times when i post far less frequently too.

a general awareness: it may appear that i hibernate in the months of October through January or at least some time in there each year (often i’m still working but just not posting for some reason). …not always but often.   …and sometimes it happens at other times too. that is just part of my pattern and i dont worry about it, because usually some down time is good for me.  so when i appear to disappear… no worries. i’ll be back. 

oh. and once in a while there may even be humor.  …even if it is only my own peculiar sense of humor.
