update
my father has passed on..trying to get my ass back in gear…I work harder than 6 artists combined, trying to find my center again….I am a workaholic and it is very strange to lose my grove…..come sunday I am going to put the pedal back down to the art floor.
Oslo
My heart goes out to Oslo..I have a close friend there and I was worried when she didnt get back to me for hours…but all is well with her.
THE RAINS Of TITAN
I like this blog post title, it should be a book, or a movie. It is almost like the Snows of Kilamanjaro by Hemingway. Titan is one of Saturn’s moons. She has storms and rains and the cassini staelite has been documenting these events..(fairly amazing in my mind)..The rains of Titan are Methane, I dont think you sing in methane rain. (At least not a whole song. ) A saturnal year is thirty earth years–I learned this today. I like to learn such things.
Man vandalizes Poussin! Classical vs. Modern!
A man in the National Gallery spray painted two Poussins with red spray paint and was arrested. The paintings were not damaged. Classical art will always defeat modern spray paint slop- art.
Viva Pouissin!

A hell of a month
Lost my dad and a dog bit my eye in the same month…. Somehow I always get back on my feet and keep boxing. I was born driven and I never stop moving ahead. I hope the picture doesnt make anyone uneasy, it was handled by plastic surgeon and will be fine…You either cry about what you lose in life or you count your blessings as to what you have. I have a great mom and family and my eye didnt get damaged. I feel the life coming back into me and Im ready to box… Onward! VIVA GARDEGA!
UP house replica for sale!
A home builder in utah has taken the time to build a real life version of the home from the Pixar movie “UP.” They did a nice job but the reason I am posting this is to comment on design philosophy..Notice the roof on the right side..it is essentially an arrow pointing “UP” this is called good design…I am sure that was intentional. If you are an artist your eye gets trained not to miss such things…This is the difference between “looking” and “SEEING”
