- For all the art talk and theory, an artist, regardless of their specific beliefs and cosmology, knows that when it goes well, the moment of making is a moment of grace, some kind of gift, a treasure and a privilege. This experience is as old as art is, although a lot of contemporary art talk belittles it. We, as artists, the kind that I mean, are not just content providers for... a luxury market, a network of institutions, a sophisticated discourse, and a social scene. We are, at our best, much more than that. What, then? I don't know, still. I just have a thread that I need to follow.

Having sniped in a recent post about the way that Photoshop opens graphic possibilities, but impairs decisive intention and clarity of mind, I thought I’d now play devil’s advocate to myself, looking at how even low-tech “digital painting” has substantial … Continue reading
Digital Tools for the Timid, Ink for the Brave
When an ink-filled brush touches paper, it might or might not lead to something thrilling, but there’s no turning back. One pauses, settles the mind, limbers the fingers, and then the process begins. It can go wrong, and a lot … Continue reading
Jack: Re:Beanstalk
Here’s the step and the step gone as the foot fumbles at the stringer, finds a notch for the toes, which claw for purchase and a little friction. Rising always borders on falling, as steam inevitably condenses.
How to Solve Problems
Eric Waldemar provides his unique slant on how small behavior changes shift one’s awareness and also make it more plausible that Earth survives the century. Continue reading
A place to sleep, a place to pee.
When a dog sniffs the ground, it usually anticipates either sleep or urination. It’s not clear to me what dogs look for in a sleep spot, so I can only speculate. It may well be that the tang of their … Continue reading
Kickstand
Sometimes you just need something to lean on for a minute. My friend Greg Sadowy took the kickstand off his bike (as well as the brakes) for aerodynamic reasons, but I’m not willing to go that far for speed. Decades … Continue reading
