This is a series I began with the idea of a collaged background beneath my "spilled ink" technique. The subjects are all symbols used in Asian (specifically Chinese) culture. I titled them all Lucky, but only the Bat is actually the symbol for luck.

These paintings are also the first larger works I have done since January (those were my Stone Icons, remember those ... I barely do.)!

A few mini mini's. These little guys were in idea I just couldnt get out of my head. I found documentation on these ancient amulets with scary faces, and I knew they just had to be icons. Each one is a 2.75 x 2.75 inch stretched canvas. Pretty neat.

You see, the King and Queen are having a fight. The Chamberlain is very afraid he might be fired if he cant make the baby stop crying. The Royal Fool just laughs at everyone's foolishness, and the Royal pets couldnt care less.

Where oh Where?

There are new artworks to see. I have taken the photographs. I have done the scanning. There is new work and they have been documented.

There is the extra step in between the documenting and the posting that I seem to have the most difficulty with. I just cant seem to get this task up to the top of the list. Other things have been taking priority.

Hopefully, you are still watching and keeping the eye balls peeled on this blog, because there WILL eventually be new artworks to view.

I will tease you with some clues.

* Pop Plants cont ...
* Inspiration Chinese Symbolism.
* Tartan
* Pine Trees are cool. As is Holly.
* Triptych
* Maybe an Aceo or two or 14.

New Posts

I am getting caught up (somewhat ^_^) on this blog. There are many new pieces to see further down.

Mainly in July and August.

Random Thoughts

I am in a wierd spot at the moment as I feel very detached from it all. Its a blur, and I can barely focus. I have done so many things in the last 8 months that its like I have no relationship to the things I have created. I am floating in a haze of production. I just plug away at it day in and day out and dont really think about what im doing. I really miss thinking about what im doing. That was always part of the joy. Thinking, planning, executing, in that order. The execution took the least amount of time generally, so you can see why I would be missing the other two parts. Now I give about 2.5 seconds of thinking and planning and just attack a canvas or a piece of paper. Its certainly given me skills I wouldnt have gained any other way, but I think I need some perspective now.

Wierd the things that happen to you when you enter into any kind of challenge.

Discombobulated

If you were looking at this blog and noticed the disjointed nature of the posts, you are not going crazy. This is the nature of my mind of late. Posts are coming as I have time to edit my images, and unfortunately I am scatter brained enough not to edit my creations in order.

This is what happens to your brain after 8 months of one-a-day artworks. Its an unfortunate side effect.

Reminder also that the posts are backdated. Older works will appear on the blog in order of production.
