11.12.07 --- while driving we noticed a large disposal container filled with props from a children's theatre... after going through it and finding some goodies... there was a pumpkin, that seemed to NEED a purpose... and immediately an alteration came to mind. later that evening it mysteriously arrived on the doorstep of shaun & carol...

at first we were not sure if they received it but alas, we missed a bulletin announcing the pumpkin!  it was a very downercow like thing to do... and a nice way to turn non-reimbursed supplies into something spontaneous!

05.12.07 --- hooray! the bags were not too crumpled, just a little droopy from the art car ball rain storm.  some of the hanging paper was mistaken for cheap paper towels... but it seemed to work out. i do think it was the most "devoid of color" artcar, if there was an award for that we'd win for sure!  a bit of the lower depths play was still in my mind i suppose:  photos here

05.05.06.07 --- hooray!

05.01.07 --- it is startling to find pieces of yourself in things that existed before you. i started making postcards again (after more than 4 years) and found it odd that it continued from the same moment i stopped.  the drawing above is from 1900, and looks like some of what i've done lately... yet, applied to paper, as i have not had a camera in 2 weeks.  so, i'm not breaking any new ground (as usual) just dredging up old forgotten steps.  happy mayday!

"...I like being in a place where I don't know what's going to happen. I just have this feeling that everything that we didn't know we wanted, will happen."   

i read these words from someone i see almost daily, yet in a surreal way: it was in a city newspaper from over a year ago, that i found in a box from my apartment this morning.  it was exactly what i needed to hear when i found it.

"Feb. 28, 1947:   Resolve this day as before to transcend in my work the overwhelming sense of sadness that has been so binding and wasteful in the past."
