sorry for the lack of posts the last few dazes. i know there were one or two out there who missed me. took a hazy daze trip up to san francisco to catch a couple shows, take in the bay air, dig for records, view some art, wander the streets and generally derral out for a bit. any who im back and life keeps rolling along. detours and sidecuts and endless alleys to wander. it just keeps getting more interesting. paradise. love and joy. shamaliamekamuhakai.

Daily dose of art magic...

Art is not just painting or sculpture....ART is an IDEA...it is an ETHOS...it follows you in your heart, you carry it with you in your mind....it's your first love, your last thought.....for those who see beauty in everyday life and realize that art isn't in some museum, then this blog is for you. Thanks to all of you who follow these random posts we often throw up. It's like two five year olds on a sugar high trying to build a LEGO castle sometimes. Anyways....a day without reading something, hearing some song, or playing and making music, is a sad day. The music posts are just one key that interlocks with the many sides of the "arts"....where I am going with this, is that, a TRUE artist looks at all the "traditional" arts, and them applies them to an all encompassing ethos in their life, which makes everything else "art" in itself....FOLLOW THIS ARTIST...if you dare or care to learn anything about NY art, the Feminist movement of the 70's, and Chicago magic...look for old and current work by the great Janet Cooling. It never ceases to amaze me when I am reading a book on Feminist art, or scanning the pages of a book on New York art, and I see her name. She is both talented and intellectual. She was also a professor of mine during my undergraduate studies as a Studio Art major @ SDSU...here is a sneak peak @ some footage being compiled of her in a new documentary....ENJOY....











Here are some killer still life pieces...please explore more of her art on your own....

today and tomorrow

I will tell you things at random about how the quality of randomness, spontaneity, surprise, unexpectedness and irrationality in our lives is a very precious thing. And if you suppress that to have a nice orderly life, you kill off what's most important. The random, chance element in life is totally vital. It is through fear we allow the repression of spontaneous and unpredictable actions and events in order to make life "safer", the creativity that arises naturally from the hurly burly of human life could be destroyed and lost.

early abstractions

Early Abstractions is a collection of seven short animated films created by Harry Everett Smith between 1939 and 1956. Each film is between two and six minutes long, and is named according to the chronological order in which it was made. The collection includes Numbers 1–5, 7, and 10, while the missing Numbers 6, 8, and 9 are presumed to have been lost.

The idea of the numbering was to suggest a coherent link between each individual film, and that they were to be treated not just on their own but as part of a larger body of work. Of the missing chapters, Number 6 was made up of three dimensional optically printed abstractions; Number 8 was a black and white collage of clippings taken from nineteenth century ladies wear catalogues and elocution books, and Number 9 was a color collage of biology books and nineteenth century temperance posters. The remaining films show a gradual evolution in Smith's technical complexity, with blunt abstraction rudimentary motion more prominent in the early shorts, in contrast to an allegoric dance of Tarot cards, and Buddhist and Cabalistic symbols.

Initially recorded with no sound, a medley of music by The Beatles was added retrospectively. Because the songs do not exactly sync up with each individual film, some critics have opined that this does not enhance the film, and recommend watching it in silence.

In 2006, Early Abstractions was selected to the National Film Registry by the Librarian of Congress for its "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance".

“After awhile you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats with you head up and your eyes open.
With the grace of maturity, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on
Today because tommorow's ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong
And that you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn and learn ....
With every goodbye you learn.”
~Veronica Shoffstall
