It began as a self portrait. Was captured in a movie and then I snapped it off the TV – made this using an iphone ap. But is it art? Anyway, I like it.

Reading Robot Comics on the iPhone – a pleasure. Occasionally pages stand out as really exellent illustrations. I’ll send them along to the blog.
These are from Birth 1 by Michael S. Bracco, another follows.

I am into these people from the 50s. McCahon etc. I wish I had appreciated them more at the time!
William Scott Google Artist Images
Website & Bio
Here are a some I like from William Scott:
(Continued)
Enjoying this book a lot! His art is fun and his storytelling is fun. I identify with him a lot. Drawing from comic books as a kid, being the best drawer in the class. Uni in the sixties at Canterbury.
I learn about art too. For example the British painter William Scott was briefly an influence on Frizzell. I’ll post up some of his. I like them. Simple, but really more difficult to pull off than they look!

I listened to this interview on Kim Hill – Kate de Goldie on Charles Keeper, & became curious about the art she was talking about.
I’ve found some images & posted them below, more quirky than I thought. I like them.

More iSketches by Jorge Colombo, who was on the New Yorker.
This is from the rather wonderful non blog.
Hockney is making iSketches! Great.
Here he is in one of my digital efforts!
This is one of his iPhone images. Found it here, plenty more there.
Later:
OOOpsss! Apparently these are not iphone but done on a tablet.
There are several drawings of Hockney’s brother, Paul, and his sister, Margaret; and in each picture the subjects seem mesmerised by a small gadget in their hands, which turns out to be an iPhone — Hockney’s latest enthusiasm: “Yes, my brother and sister sat there for three or four hours, totally engrossed.” Hockney is thrilled that he has finally persuaded Celia Birtwell to buy one so that he can send her pictures: “I draw flowers on them and send them out every morning to a group of people.”
He demonstrates, tracing his finger over the tiny screen with such absorption that I worry he will stop talking altogether. “Who would have thought the telephone would bring back drawing?” he exclaims with glee.
“It’s such a great little device, it has every Shakespeare play in it and the Oxford English dictionary. In your pocket! But it’s also amusing, look at this.” He blows into it and his new toy becomes a harmonica.

I like these images, I like the idea of using old books.
I like beeswax.
I want to make prins that have something of this feel.
I will put this whole post on my psyberspace blog because it has the Imago word, an in depth approach to the co-unconscious in relationships.
These assemblages are made
made from the covers of used
books. I seek out those that
bring their own history -
inscriptions, notations, signs
signs of wear and amateur
mending – poignant glimpses
into the previous owners’ lives.
When dipped into melted
beeswax, the papers become
translucent, and unexpected
details emerge. Sometimes
the paper on the inside covers
tear in a way that suggests
landscape, and I add to these
readymade images, painting
the moon in various phases
and hand-lettering appropriate
words from a Latin dictionary.
On some, I add tiny diamonds,
to suggest stars or lights.

Great to see how art & this environmental project combine.
I am pleased to have found Diana’s blog. Some fine digital art.
She talks of going from Digital to analog. A process that has me stopped in my tracks right now!

I was inspired by a visit today to the Arthouse, Richard Adams exhibit.

More on the calligraphy theme…
Boyden
Ian Boyden’s fascination with materials, industrial processes, text and the calligraphic line led him to China where he studied history and the practice of Chinese calligraphy, painting and bookmaking with masters of those arts. He worked for Walla Walla Foundry where he learned to cast, weld and chase bronze, and in Portland with Kathy Kuehn at Salient Seedling Press to learn letterpress printing and a variety of bindings. He founded Crab Quill Press to produce limited-edition, fine press artist books and in 1998, moved the Press to Walla Walla where he also works as the director of the Sheehan Art Gallery at Whitman College.

Monday, May 10, 1976, Robert Hughes wrote an obituary in TIME of Mark Tobey Incarnations of Tobey TIME
By the ’50s, a stereotype of Tobey had emerged, and it was to affect his reputation in American art: the sage of the Pacific Northwest, perched on a misty crag, making exquisitely obscure calligraphic doodles. Tobey had worked for a year in China. At that time it was hardly possible for a painter to have done this without being regarded, in some circles, as a perambulating bodhisattva.
I am posting to pursue a thread. The relationship between calligraphy and modern art. It is there everywhere once you look. The action painters, like Franz Klein, Max Gimblett, Pollock. I will keep at it.
More here, and here is a good site: MARK TOBEY, American artist 1890-1976, Page by Arthur Lyon Dahl It has paintings as well as this photo of him:

Good sample – small images.

Amazon
That is one of about three Toby books I just bought online! Through Amazon but dirt cheap from secondhand shops. They will take months to get here, I may be over Toby by then, but I doubt it.
