Processions – Astrid Jaekel Illustration
I’m in Edinburgh right now and will do a bigger post on my trip, but here’s a quick glimpse at an artist I discovered this weekend who does papercuts that get put in windows and cut into steel panels for large-scale site-based installations. This series was in the Meadows, which I used to walk acrossContinue reading “Processions – Astrid Jaekel Illustration”
Friday Favorites: Old-School Web Comics
From the early days of the Internet, where things either didn’t move or were animated with Flash (remember Flash?):
Ceramics Saturdays: The Baltimore Museum of Art
A small collection but some interesting pieces and arrangements!
Chris Roberts-Antieau
I popped into her gallery in the French Quarter last November when I saw all of the beautifully embroidered birds through the window. But she’s an amazing fabric artist who has also composed appliqué tapestries evoking the spirit of music, art, and creativity. She has a gallery in Santa Fe as well. I hope I’mContinue reading “Chris Roberts-Antieau”

youtube.com/watch I mean, the vlog itself is amazing: rose jam! But I’m posting because Gosha the crow, who flew off earlier in the spring, is back to hang out with his cat and bunny (and human) buddies on the farm.

Friday Favorites: Recent Photos
OK, a day late and likely a dollar short as well as these are all just iPhone photos from SOMA mushroom camp and other recent outings.
Wright’s Beach: Watercolors and Haiku
I usually take my watercolors along and try to knock out a few postcards while I’m sitting on the beach–it’s a good way to pass the time, and salt water creates some neat effects with the pigments. Also, in lieu of writing a journal-style blog post about my week on the coast, I wrote aContinue reading “Wright’s Beach: Watercolors and Haiku”
Wright’s Beach: Photos
I spent a whole week camping at Wright’s Beach with the dogs this year, which gave me plenty of beach days as well as excursions to dog parks and trails in the area. Since I have reels of beach photos already, I tried to take pictures in some other locations like Ft. Ross, the oldContinue reading “Wright’s Beach: Photos”
