Always Be Closing

In a post on 1/3/2012 I discussed my goal of completing one piece of art each day in this calendar year. My progress as of 2/15/2012 (46 days into the year)? Well, I have 42 separate pieces completed - crosses on cocktail napkins and coasters, natch (though now enhanced, often times, by a torrent of black raindrops); but, also, a completed story about a gentleman in a white suit visiting a little Mexican boy, some essay-work, some mixed-media stuff AND my timeless photos of hot sauce in the snow (and who wouldn't want to see these? I sure need to sort out how to post photos to enhance your IBL pleasure). Also, I have three new pieces that will be finished by C.O.B. today (and then Danielle and I are having dinner at the fine restaurant Nell's down the street), and that will leave me one down for the year. So I'm in pretty good shape, thank you very much, and can only reiterate that if you'd care to report on anything you're working on I'd love to hear about it and/or discuss it...

Respect,

IBL:mm

  1. Just one question: Are we going to see pictures of the drawing?

  2. Absolutely, momo. I just need to get Danielle to school me on the proper procedures...

  3. You asked so I'm tell'in.
    Since Dec. I've been putting in a lot of hours on a project which will appear in Atlanta at the end of March. There is a cult of a couple hundred eccentrics who have a yearly meeting called the Gathering for Gardner. It celebrates Martin Gardner who published frequently in Scientific American and who made a remarkable annotated version of Alice in Wonderland. Math nerds mostly. My task is to show how an imaginary billiard ball bounces inside the 5 platonic solids.
    After grinding away at this, I'm really looking forward to getting back to my stuff.
    I was obliged to update my software and it's cooperating quite nicely. This may open the door to a new strictly art video much as some of you may recall seeing [OMG] was it almost 10 years ago?! Bottom line whether you're working in photography, video, digital art, 3d or music, you are only limited by your imagination. Assuming computer w/software, food in the pantry and roof over your head.
