Waltzzz’s photostream on Flickr.

So what does this look like in WordPress?

iPad Sketch event in San Francisco June 2011

Its a long time ago but I thought it was a great little event at the San Francisco Apple store.

Came away with links to two artists I particularly enjoyed.

Julia Kay who has a portraitparty on flkr

Helene Goldberg .

I like these, and most of his work. There is a sense of line texture and colour that I like. His smoothing of the world and boldness. It is these qualities I seek in my work.

Found this in my jumble. Bought back the memory of that trip to Sydney

Out Walking (then) Tweeting (now)

I am tweeting pictures. I am waltzzz on twitter

But really, my main photo page is in Flickr

I must say I am enjoying my Yoono sidebar in Firefox – I am suddenly integrating twits with fotos & facebook. It makes such a difference to me that I can see the pix in the sidebar.

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.

iPhone sketches

I am enjoying the touch screen to make sketches. Here are a few, already uploaded to flickr. One thing about these small screens they are touch enabled! They can do stuff the PC can\’t do so well unless you have a tablet PC. I have tried three apps so far & they are each delightful in their own way! Having used different apps (!) on my tablet it is amazing how different tools warm me up to different things.Free app: DoodleIt

\n\n\n\niGraffitti\n\nHas an interesting shadow feature. Also has a website they can go to\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNetsketch \nThis one is vector based and so it is easy to scale! Have never mastered this on the PC. Also has a website gallery: my.netsketchapp.com\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is an art pool on flicker for iPhone sketches\n\n\n\n

Thanks Lisa Rivas!

I am going through the calmest time in my art binge since the seizure began more than two years ago. I did the Thousand Sketches in one year and continued to make digital sketches and do some real-media work in the last year. I have had three exhibitions of one sort and another this year – one is still going at OurCity Otautahi. But it is a month or so since I posted an image, and that is the longest time. I am not dreaming art every night. I have no more plans for workshops or shows this year, and am enjoying being focused in my psychotherapy work. Calm. Before a storm? I doubt it, not this year anyway, I am in recovery mode from having been invaded by enthusiasm!

So this is a very belated thank you post.

On my mind for a while is the delight in getting “I love your blog” award from Lisa Rivas, whose work I love! This is what an I love your blog award looks like. See image below.

Prompted by that viral award I decided to do some heart art as well. I’ll put it in the next post, and I will also send out a few I LOVE YOUR BLOG awards. I will post a list when I have seven & I get time to really suss out some great art blogs I know.

Happy Birthday!

Yes it is my birthday.

Testing the post into the future option!
