Hey!

So you might say I have been busy. And you’d be right. I’ve been thinking about art a lot lately, and my other work in this world. I’ve been working towards an integration of all these various parts. Soon my art and photography will reflect that.

I will be at GenCon in a few weeks. I won’t have art in the art show but I will have work back in the hotel room. So find me (running morton’s list, playing boardgames or at the afterparties) in order to purchase something. Or email me using the contact form to make arrangements ahead of time.

Origins, Duckon and Marcon all went really well for me. I am very excited about an illustration I am working on, as well as some photographs that need a little touch up (from my road trip to Portland!)

Speaking of Portland. What an incredible city! Its got public transportation, a farmers market that makes Columbus’ look like an ant to its monster, great geen and veggie foods, lots of trees, and many other wonderful sites to see! I’d recommend it anytime. And if your looking to move to a greener city, that should be on your list to check out.

Eco Arts Festival!

May 6th, 2010

In Philly starts the 1st annual Eco Arts Festival. What joy. I love that there is enough interest in green artistry that someone is finally doing a whole festival about it. I hope I can make it out as a patron, as I am only beginning in my trek to greener art, I don’t feel ready to sell or present at such a venue.

Rome was on the move

May 6th, 2010

So, I started up this blog with many intentions, and yet, it went dark. Well, I am here again to bring it light. Today’s light is that of a recap of the past weekend. Squish-Art and Morton’s List joined forces this past weekend at http://www.penguicon.org/ ( A convention in MI) to bring them my first attempt at a public party.  A Roman Room party. While I have often hosted themed parties privately, and its a passion of mine, I wanted to see how it would do. I’d say, it did very well. Not Epic level, but high.

So, the lights went down on our party late friday night. The Citizens exhasted, slept. When the world turned, a message was received from the Fates. Rome would live again that very next night. By some amazingly fated move, a different group of people had also decided to host a Roman Event at this con. Only, on a much different scale. This scale was one of Roaming Romans. We were invited by these hosts to join them. And awesome joy and fun was  had.  Not only did we get to meet amazing people, the public had the mind to think it was all planned. Delightful!

So, I do believe you’ll see more Roman’s coming to a convention near you. With Art and Games!

Pictures coming soon. :)

Books as art, part one

March 12th, 2010

What do I love? I love green art. Art that reuses things that might get thrown away, or is just a part of a greater vision for this Earth.

So, instead of causing me pain that books are being destroyed, I absolutly love that books are being reused and turned into something beautiful. (Of course, as long as they aren’t rare or out of print)

So to start this series, I bring you the Book Sculptures by Jacqueline Rush Lee!
