CERAMICS AGAIN

I got a work trade with Clay Creation, the studio where I worked in between Cabrillo College semesters. This is what I had dreamed about, it's almost like having my own studio; I can go every day from 1-6PM and the studio is three minutes on bicycle from my home.

The blog disappeared - but I found it again!
I have been sick, that's why I haven't posted for almost a month.
Now I'll try to do better!

FINISHED

TEN FRAMES

I took ten prints and made different colored frames.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
to you all, who visit here from time to time.


I wonder often who you are, and now I new-year-challenge the silent ones of you to comment with a few words about yourself and whether you have a blog or a web site, for contact and mutual inspiration, you know, or maybe just to satisfy my curiosity.

It's 12AM here now!

MARIJUANA

IS THE QUEEN OF HERBS

Pretty easy to read!?!

JAPANESE DINNER

On the plate: red snapper, ginger, garlic, avocado, and umebosi plum paste.

NEW AND IMPROVED

I wasn't satisfied with the 'Futhark Power' I posted last, so I redid it.

FUTHARK POWER

NO TITLE

FUTHARK

FUTHARK is the name of the rune alphabet. This painting was inspired by Paul Klee.

ALL FACES

SAME, SAME

BUT DIFFERENT

A happy Thanksgiving to you all.

It is really fall now and I enjoy the long evenings painting - and watching movies!

ANAK KRAKATAU

THE MARKS OF DUSK

This is for the cover of a book about game playing. It actually spells out THE MARKS OF DUSK with runes.

RIO

I have to share with you these pictures of Rio, the most photographed child in Santa Cruz - maybe the world.

For a moment I thought the Credit Union has been reborn Jesus freak, but then I remembered the teller's name tag!

Surfing the net I found this artist that I find pretty amazing. Click here to see more.

And in the beginning there was nothing. And God said 'Let there be light.'
And there was still nothing, but now you could SEE it!

THE FINAL F

Now I have a design that I'm satisfied with but to print it is another story. I have looked into screen-printing but I don't know if I have the facilities to do it here myself and printing in a shop is a major investment. This means: wait and see!

Yesterday I played bocce-ball for hours at the Leo party in the park. When I have fun with the boys I don't stop till I'm completely exhausted and today I've been laying low all day. I baked bread in the morning and tried out the bike after its repair. The back axle broke day before yesterday when I was downtown, so, the bike finally got the overhaul it has needed for a while.

All afternoon I was reading. I have just found a new author that I like: William Maxwell, and I got the first volume of his collected works, 997 pages, from the library.

QUOTE

There is no conflict between mysticism and science, but there is a conflict between the science of 2000BC and the science of 2000AD and that’s the mess in our religions; we’ve got stuck with an image of the universe that is about as simple and childish as you can imagine…it’s of no use to us.
We have to have poets, we have to have seers, who will render to us the experience of the transcendence through the world in which we are living.

(Joseph Campbell)

So here is a more simple design. This is the calligraphy that I use, inspired by the big rune stone in Jelling in Denmark.
I would like that better on a t-shirt - what do you think?

Of all the runes I love FEHU the best and I'm thinking of making a t-shirt. This is my first attempt at a design, but I might make it more simple without spelling FEHU out in runes.
Please give me feedback with your vote!

I don't remember if I ever posted this before.
