Seriously though, I am excited to get this project done already, and that first image is inspiring.

edit: In addition to multiple Saturns, I just found another work with a skull & Saturn, on a blanket, by Peter Sutherland.

Maybe I'll find more works and add over here..

Cat-women of the Moon, 1953



A good movie to both fully immerse yourself in at times, while doing chores. Or, that's just what I did. This sort of falls in a women's lib B-movie boat.

Malevich, really? wow. It looks like a ring I would wear, such as the beautiful mood ring I got the other day.

Nice design & illustrations ::::
A Journey Round My Skull was texted to me many moons ago by my friend, Jocelyn.

& this thing:
Sketch Furniture Design by Front Studio left me dumbfounded, for a fraction of a second. If a design studio can make scribble sketch furniture, I can.. do something too, but, at my own devices, as usual. (Who do I collaborate with?)

Martin Leman's cats











Painted around the 1960s and later. Their expressions make me crack, just a little. They are priceless.

More sweet dogs in the second link below.

Jun Togawa



Landed upon her work. She seems disaffected, and has a tone that gets ugly, innocent, yet mischievous, and at times, full-bodied like an oprah singer (and maybe does sound a little like Sparks in one of the songs for a few seconds). I found a better explanation here.

Photos from my visit to Baltimore, MD

The only photo snapped was one of me!



Thanks to Alan, Jordan, Erin, and Keith for providing the fun, hospitality and delicious foods! Ooh, and I got to see Herzog's newest, The Bad Lieutenant. I'd like to see the original some day. Why is Nicholas Cage so good ? ? ?

A prior excursion to Baltimore, I saw Hustle and Flow.

Shuttle cakes

"shuttle cakes" art zine


I often bring this image up to remind myself to work on my art book (zine). There are actually three more similarly detailed unfinished drawings attached to this one, in three compartments on a folded piece of 8.5" x 11".

Should have learned before I go-go

That my lips and fingertips should have been sealed.
