You call that art?

You call that art?
Collage by Paul, from Sketchbook #93.
Well yes I do actually, you know....art created by me, based upon my inspiration, which is all about my vision......
We're all different, I would never say it's my way or the highway, unlike you...
If you can't see it, say it, believe it, then I think you're missing something!
It's your loss, as they say.

Wildfire in watercolour by Steve.

Our thoughts are with those who have had their lives blighted by fire, especially the people made homeless in the state of California at this time.

Pavement Pentagram.

Chalk circles captured on the pavement.
The photograph was taken in 2004 when I was a tourist in Australia.
The image is culled from a home movie I made which has been posted on You Tube.
I have been informed that the chalk drawing is the work of Elijah O'Brien, apparently he regularly inscribes his geometric patterns on the pavements of Nimbin.
I am still waiting for the artist to contact me.

Graffiti Palm.

Continuing the theme of palms, here's a photograph of a 'graffiti palm' I noticed on the bridge over the River Calder. February 2007. I do hope that the graffiti artsit was wearing a glove!

Kiss my art by Nikola.

This vibrant palm print was created by Nikola, she also penned the title, 'Kiss my art.'


Nikola also created another print using the colour green (above). There was some laughter and a delay in creating the second print, when Nikola realised that she had painted the wrong hand, thereby taking some time out to clean up and start over.

These images are captured using black out fabric and the pin hole projection method. I used black material to cover the windows and all light entry points. The studio has a good sunlight aspect, it travels across the space/wall in a reasonable curve. I made a small hole in the fabric near to the window and waited for the sun to arrive.
The best type of conditions are clear but part cloudy, hazy with cloud formations that roll in a moderate wind. This enables the projection to be more interesting than it would be on a cloudless day. Transforming, progressing, steady journey. I was surprised to see some vivid colours in the clouds and the sun.

Good Morning Moon!


Good morning Moon!
Fancy meeting up this afternoon?
We can dance our footprints into the sand dune.
I've written this poem, will you write the tune?
My individuality is your platoon.
Why rehearse the part of the stupid lune?
Why is your prediction my indecipherable rune?
No one gives a toss about you, half Moon.
The pantomime revolves around a sunken pontoon.
Why look at me like a goon?
Into the reflection upon the lagoon.
When you're full on and you have written my tune...
We can dance our footprints into the sand dune.
