Three photographic projects that even fit together nicely in theme, and one large music project that needs a bit more attention in the next month and a half. Photography first A PORTRAIT OF AMERICA LEFT BEHIND: A PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY OF AMERICAN TOWNS AND SPACES $1429/3000, 42 days to go I have fallen for small town [...]
Read more →I’ve kicked in for a number of projects where I didn’t know what was going to come out at the end of the deal; knowing only the smallest bit about the artist, and trusting testimonials and sounds-like anecdotes, and the like. Sxip is the latest one that I’m kicking in a couple bucks for. While [...]
Read more →Putting up a couple of the robot images on Etsy, including one of my favorite “Friendly Monsters” coincidentally numbered 13. He’d be content to sit back, maybe watch a little Mork and Mindy on channel 57. Maybe kick back a cool Coors 16-ouncer. He’s good fine people, Stuart. Sure, he looks like a horrible flesh-rending [...]
Read more →I spent the day doing some long overdue store maintenance; verifying that everything that was for sale in my etsy shop was filed properly, scanning things I’ve never listed, and uploading those images. About 20 new, never before listed pieces went up on the site today, all for super low prices as usual. I sell [...]
Read more →I ordered some buttons with the idea that they’d sell well enough at a fall/winter craft sale here. I have at least 50 to 100 of each of these two pieces. I also have a stack of neodymium magnets (5-6mm, 1-1.2kg pull), so with a pair of wire snips, these pins become rather nice little [...]
Read more →US Customs is confusing… so, I decided to ask them a question on their convenient FAQ system. Sadly, nobody seems to have asked this sort of question on the site yet… so As a Canadian citizen, I have been invited to attend and sell my artistic works in a show in the US. How do [...]

Read more →I don’t think that there is anything transcendental in my painting; well, not for the viewer, at least. If it’s pleasing to the eye, the mind, or on some other level (I haven’t heard them make any sounds…), then that’s all that’s meant to be. I just make the things to make them, and the [...]
Read more →I’ve been doing an hour here, an hour there. Between doing some web updates and tinkering with the logo-fish (well, sea horse) for Binarysoul, and between thinking of making robot buttons and scanning old photos in… It’s been a busy day. Here’s a brief glance into the current state of the latest little custom project; [...]
Read more →The first layer of paint goes in for the background; “Mars Yellow” which is something like an orange toned iron oxide red. Good for a first layer. With these, I’m likely going to put the second layer down as a titanium buff / naples yellow for a more cream coloured base with hints of earthy [...]
