November is what happens while you are busy making plans...

OK so I missed out on most of November...this one is under the influence of Ramsey Lewis and/or The Meters...

Just Because It Is A New Month, And Just Because I Have This New Camera...

this is more like a "sketch" than something I would call "finished"
I took some upclose photos of a souvenir mariachi hat that hangs on a wall in my house...not sure where I am going with this...

New Camera so that means test shots of Junior Cat of course

OK yeah so I sort of intimated that I was sort of finished with Cat Portraits for a while...and I am...but I got a new camera and I had to take some test shots...and right now Junior Cat is my favorite model...and it's not like she has a choice...so I sort of like these raw and untweaked photos...well mostly cropped and resized but not tweaked any way...so I post them here for my own enjoyment...

New Junior Portrait (#1 in a series: collect 'em all!)

One piece from Jan 2008

This was a tweaky photo I arranged some stuff from my last trip to Isla Mujeres and took some quick shots and then played with the image and played with it some more


I have this one as the wallpaper on my desktop at work

Ooga Booga

there used to be three older cat portraits here...

I had a lot of old stuff stored in FTP space on AOL...I have been an old school asshole about AOL for something like 12 or 13 years...stayed with AOL even when I knew better...then they started closing things like online storage spaces...they are taking down all their photo storage on Dec 31 and I have saved a bunch of old pics but I guess I sort of lost these...I think I have them on the computer at work and maybe if I do I can restore this old post...when I finally get all of my stuff removed from AOL and transfer all the bookmarks and everything else I will finally liberate myself from AOL...I hate AOL they are idiots and wish a slow painful and horrible death for AOL...

"Zicatela Fantasy"

"Another Beach, Another Girl"

(i hate those dreaded red x marks: you know, where there should be an image but instead it is blank with a little red x in a square in the upper left hand corner. well, there used to be an image here, but i am a total goofball sometimes and i just neglected to back this up. i originally made the image on an older computer that crashed and burned, and then for years and years i had this and other images stored online on aol. i paid aol for this service for many years. then they quit storing images online, even though millions of people just like me had paid them month after month for this service among other services. i hate aol. when they go belly up from their stupid business and marketing practices i will not laugh, i will only shake my head and wonder why. sorry there is no image here. i really liked this one, it was a stylized and layered photo of a girl on a beach. someday i will make some more images of girls on beaches. but i will never get this one back. sigh.)

A quick one made today

"The Velocity of Time Just Hit Me Like A Brick"

This little number is called "Doggie Boogie" its from 2002

"Siempre Playa Sol" Isla Mujeres 2002-2005

(another lost image. i hope i have learned to be better about backing up my data.)

Broma Pescado

(i unfortunately neglected to back up this image. i had it on an older computer that crashed and died. i had it stashed first on one image hosting site that took my money and then went abruptly bankrupt and out of business. i also had it stored on aol and then they quit their online storage, even though i also paid them to store images online. i wish i still had this one, i really liked it, which is why i originally posted it here. sorry)

this one is called "Tripless Report"

from the online sketchbook

I am currently using a variation of this for the background on my pc and working on other combinations and variations I stole the bird graphic from a Dover book: "Ancient Mexican Designs" which is ISBN #0-486-99528-3. According to the book, this is a "body stamp" and comes from Guerrero.

China Cat Sunflower April 10 2007

(aol used to be the online parking place for my images. then they just quit their online storage. just quit. even though i paid them month after month. the images all turned into ugly blank spaces with a little red x in the upper left hand corner. so i deleted these and reposted them on april 17 2009. i hate aol.)

I think I want a blog. I think I need a blog.
I used to blog on "my space" but I hate "my space" I got too much spam
I want a space to drop art projects and random stuff about
art music travel and various and sundry other items
I don't care if anyone sees this or not
If you see it and you want to communicate hell yeah bring it...
If I can figure out the navigation on this thing I will continue...
