Rows and rows of cocoons ready to take over our planet.

This trailer is wonderful, because it shows how delicate his works are, and how they can easily fall apart.

I love Astrotrain. Yet, I don’t have any of his figures anymore. They just cost too much. $50 and upwards. No thanks. If there was an Astrotrain for $20 or under, I’d be tempted to get it. I wonder where…

The geometric shape called magatama

Making iced coffee with iceberg lettuce, because transitive logic told me so.

I just happened to catch William Shatner’s conversation with Jeff Bezos just after landing from his outer space trip. William Shatner had some good words to share with Bezos just after walking out of the module. Shatner had some profound…

Telling someone how you discovered their work online (and then sharing your own work too)

Instead of viewing the suburbs as sprawl, what we we focus on how they are compact?

Rhythm is powerful and full of life. But can it also be bad?

Plazas are great places.

Classical ballet music: good energy, good pacing, good variety

Sharing more of my garden.

Change things up when working from home.

Thinking about visiting Amsterdam got me digging into my blog archives, which gave me inspiration to write and photograph more.

"Your sense of self is the understanding that yourself will remain the same through time."

Magenta and yellow ink simple refuses to go away.

My invention of the SpudDOUBLEMAX!

Since I’ve had vertigo a couple times in the past two months, it’s a little odd that the very first track in my Spotify Discover Weekly is a track named “Vertigo“. I rather like it too! Although, I would say…

As anyone ever made “artist tires” with treads that make interesting art on the ground? The car then becomes a giant printmaking press, leaving a trail of art around.

Trying a new mechanical pencil.

I’m working on my front porch watching a woodpecker climb up our large Slippery Elm (aka Red Elm). It kinda scoots along the tree, looks in the bark, scoots along some more, looks in the bark. The way it scoots,…

A friend, Leigh Hanlon, shared a post with me on Facebook with the question: “Does a paper’s quality affect how you use it — and how creative you are?“ An interesting notion. Does cheaper paper allow you to be more…

I probably enjoy the "Swing Batta Swing" album a bit too much.

Yves Klein made a completely blue stamp and used it as postage on an invite for a 1958 show. A single perforated postage stamp painted with Klein’s famous IKB (International Klein Blue) pigment. The stamps were originally created to use…

I'd like to make a compilation of some of my blog posts into a little booklet

Got a big head like me? Here's the helmet you should get.

A video essay about how regular exercise with a wall helped a student through the pandemic.

Spotify had a nice sharing feature. Click on any song, go to the Share menu, and select “Share via Twitter.” A little pop-up appears with pre-filled text containing: • Song title• Artist• URL You could edit any of of these items before…

It's like bizarro tech support. "Oh, you are having an issue? Let me cancel the tech appointment."

Years ago, I loved Mike Caulfield’s explanation of how many internet platforms today are streams, not gardens. This concept re-emerged in this tweet today. This is inspiring me to make my own digital garden. As I said in my twitter…
