1971. continental drift

 

continent of ice
drifting down my car window
last night’s icy mix 🦊❤️

I sat in the car waiting for the heater’s warmth to permeate my car’s interior and my bones. Slowly the icy globs encrusted on my windows started to ever so slowly melt and drift down the window.  My mind started to also drift as I pondered the never ending drifting of the earth’s continents across the globe. Never ending plate tectonics…🦊❤️ 

1970. something new #4

while still ghostly white
tommy got his face today
he’s coming to life 🦊❤️

I hope you are enjoying following Tommy’s return to life in the form of paper mache.  🦊❤️



1969. something new #3

 

all the pretty print
covered with a gooey coat
such a messy step… 🦊❤️

All of the beautiful newsprint from the Korean Newspaper has been slathered over by a coating of  messy paper machet clay. A couple more coats will be applied after this coat is hardened. Someday I will have to make one with the newsprint remaining visible. 🦊❤️

1968. a rearview mirror reflection

 

while in the drive through
a faceless mouth uttering
“a big mac meal please…” 🦊❤️

I snapped a photo of a woman’s mouth displayed in her rearview mirror in a MacDonald’s drive through line. It sometimes amazes me what scenes catch my attention in pursuit of having a photo for this daily blog post. I hope she didn’t see me taking her photo…🦊❤️

1967. something new #2

clothed in korean newsprint
step two completed 🦊❤️

 The other day while shopping at our local Asian supermarket with Yulan, I picked up a free Korean newspaper. It was fortuitous because the newsprint added a beautiful flair to the second phase of my new adventure into paper mache. Sadly it will be covered up soon when phase three begins. 🦊❤️

1966. something new

 

my painting’s on hold
it’s time to try something new
hmm… paper mache 🦊❤️

I’ve been looking for something new to do artistically for a while. I finally decided on trying paper mache. Today I built my first armature to apply the paper mache onto. Of course it will be a statue of Tommy. 🦊❤️

1965. trespasser

 

the canvas of white
punctuated by a goose  
soaking up the sun 🦊❤️

I loved gazing at a big plump goose that had planted itself on a snowy field to soak up the sun. 🦊❤️
