What a boring post title! It is the best one though. I have been generally too busy with life to much bother with social media though. At this writing, this blog gets hardly any views and less comments, so it’s a bit of an unsolved bore. I am not one for promotion either. I could … Continue reading “Quick Update”
This carrier has been a difficult project every step of the way. I had no plans. No model. Nothing copied. Totally original work. I was simulating boat construction technique and designed this as a practice project to familiarize myself with “stitch and glue” construction. I’m glad I did! How thick and how smooth do fillet … Continue reading “A Rooftop Carrier For My Camper Van”
I’ve been walking what some would consider a huge amount. Fifty miles a week! I’m not trying to sound awesome, but fifty miles a day would be “huge.” Nope. Just putting away. Enjoying the rain. Sometimes even going barefoot. My feet stay warm so long as I’m moving, and I do hate the feeling of … Continue reading “Walking, Walking, Walking”
Fresno, California. I never did want to live here. Brunt of jokes it is. With good reason. It has its virtues, however. I point those out. Sometimes. All times, I tell the truth. I am not promoting the place. Walking. Walking, walking, walking. I’m walking so much because I’m training for extended trips in the … Continue reading “My Ugly Town”
I have been neglecting this blog. I don’t know why. I’m paying good money for it. But I think that’s about to change, and I thought I should warn you. All two of you who will see this post! Haha. Oh, yeah. I did change the settings about comments. Kept getting spammers trying to poop … Continue reading “Neglect, Sigh”
I’m into making stuff, fixing stuff, practicing many arts, and, honestly, flipping from thing to thing in a way that may seem random. I figure that there will always be many, many people who are better at their specialties than I, but I never accepted the limit of, “Doing one thing well OR many things … Continue reading “A Power Pack For My Stealth Camping Van”
I sure have not been posting anything in a long time. Social media advice always includes posting regularly. I’ve never been one to follow advice though. But, anyway, I felt I hit a dead end, artwise. I was missing something. So, I rested by doing other kinds of work, and that finally resulted in some … Continue reading “My First Video: About A Cat, Of Course”
This is a short post today — as opposed to other days — about the latest flower study of my hummingbird garden. It seems the “featured image” by WordPress design likes only one geometry. Most annoying! “Continue reading” if you will to see this portrait mode piece. I shall debug that. But not today. I … Continue reading “Red Light Shadows”
Impressionism is a way of seeing what is there to be seen, not what you think is there. Lines around things, for example, are imaginary. They do not really exist except in art. I have heard that kind of linear representation called, “the felt object.” As the word is ordinarily used — meaning “realistic” — … Continue reading “Once An Impressionist, Always An Impressionist”
It was around 2002 that I decided to work exclusively in black and white. I did that until about February of this year. Twenty years of shades of gray alone. My time in the wilderness with only carbon for pigment. My preferred medium was ink and brush. I will get around to posting some of … Continue reading “Gray’s End”
