Ghosts of Dove, American... last century...

Fruit Saint with Banana, 8-18-2018 Started as a photo collaboration with Ace during a fruit shoot. We Researched it a bit. There are all sorts of cultural references; Josephine Baker; the large and public protest over the censorship of work done by Natalia LL in Warsaw; the Chiquita sponsored death squads (alleged) in Columbia; and, the really catchy Chiquita commercials with Monica Lewis (deceased). The fun aspect was also a large part of the process. I mounted a 300lb Hot Press underprint on primed and cradled hardboard. Worked for several days on the piece, creating texture, using heavy gel medium, acrylics, metallic acrylics, micron pens. 12x16x1.5," 3 coats Liquitex Acrylic Gloss Varnish, mixed media, Black on sides, wired and ready to hang.

Ace is an occasional muse. When they come around interesting and unusual things happen. The banana booth is one example. They wish to remain anonymous. More our work together here: www.rbcdart.com/tag/ace/

Peeled Piece, 4-2-2018 In this peeled piece I used the pens to make fine lines all over the image. followed by splats of F&W metallic ink, Liquitex acrylic and razor cuts through the wet paint and paper background. Liquitex Acrylic Gloss Varnish to protect the surface. The sides are finished with Benjamin Moore black chalkboard paint for easy touch up (or notes...). The back is wired and ready to hang. 12"x16."

I drew this in 2016. Some suggested I have the one on the right say, "I am a nightmare!" But I wanted to convey the idea that leaders can create nightmarish realities for so many people from the chaos of their minds. #trump

Midday with a Minotaur Minotaurs will attack in shallow waters. I went a little deeper and was ably to lure him in with another possibility.

Enjoying the Scenery Just finished some coal mining... It is a better world.

In the Sea A trick I enjoy is luring my prospect into the water. On Wizard Island they (so far) will not chase me to kill me in the water... but if sex is a possibility...

Mom and Dad to Be... Walter became my servant in the usual way. He also got me pregnant. Here we are just before the birth in Baelin's cabin. Baelin is out on the pier fishing.

Good Morning... people create worlds that a person can wander in doing all sorts of things. I prefer running naked and having sex (Wicked Island). I think that these worlds are great subject matter and make for compelling art. These pics are just first looks. #wickedisland #landscape #figurative

I would add Preaching Without Proof. Do you know the verse where Jesus said that you can tell a false prophet by whether their predictions come true... I have taken this to mean that bible interpretation is not enough. It has to be backed by outside evidence. Thank you for good work!

BTS post shoot shenanigans

beautiful moment captured in clarity

For me art is an addiction, no peace if I leave it.

She was not young. I was young, about 3 years out of college and still trying to find my way

This is why I love Portland.
#Portland #TrumpFascism

Person leaning against a wall with an interesting shadow from the figure, Sweatpants pulled down on one side.

She was leaning against the wall. Being young, I hesitated before asking her to pull down her sweats on one side. This photo ended up hanging in my parents house. Important not to be lost in false politeness, shame or lust. Title suggested by a friend. www.rbcdart.com/georgias-fir...

Ummm a very funny writer went to the darkside... did you guys pass them over?

Housemate on De La Vina, SB another person on my list of, gee, I wonder what happened to them?

Housemate on De La Vina, SB
She was a housemate of ours. Both Maria and I remember her as just a great person. We have lost contact... In this photo-shoot I followed her around downtown Santa Barbara. This image was in my senior show College of Creative Studies in 1979. www.rbcdart.com/housemate/

acrylic on canvas circa 1978 in a class where I was the model, observing, remembering The Jabberwocky

In college I was a model as well as an art student. Trying to capture the visual experience of a model's view. Without moving I start to run the poem Jabberwocky (www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42916/...) through my head. Acrylic on canvas, 1978, this post is on site at www.rbcdart.com/twas/

How Portland did it

Morning Dash... One of the early attempts in our new house! Before the garage was painted black. Probably the reason I painted the garage black.

Thinking of posting more stuff... Good idea?

Skinny dipping with family and friends

Moments when I'm grateful for being a nudist... and knowing there are people who go into the mud volcano fully clothed 😩 You'll just ruin the fabric because washing it afterward must be a waste of water. Here's the video of that adventure in Colombia:

canceled Disney subscription, put Kimmel under other as the reason.

Washington Post Columnist Says She Was Fired for Posts After Charlie Kirk Shooting

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Landmark Black Hole Test Marks Decade of Gravitational-Wave Discoveries The clearest black hole merger signal ever measured has allowed researchers to test the Kerr nature of black holes and validate Stephen Hawking’s black hole area theorem.

A new LIGO observation of merging black holes has confirmed a theorem formulated in 1971 by Stephen Hawking, which asserts that the total surface area of black hole horizons cannot decrease in time.
