2012

Hey before January is over I'd like to wish everybody an excellent 2012.  May it be all that it's cracked up to be.  Stay alert!

Shrine Making

Here's a little shrine I made a few years back for my friend.  I tied copies of every friend I met at his house, put them in zip locks and tied them to this tree in his garden - all waving goodbye in the wind.

Garden Murals

This is my design for a garden terrace in Hillcrest.  I pretty much have sold her on the window frame elements: the arch is a long shot - and the tiger.

Imagine tea here with your friends.  A taste of Versailles with cakes and music.  

Very little gets done these days as no one wants to spend money - especially on the arts. 

My friend just sold a $4000 painting for $600.  I worry about her throwing herself off a bridge.  A beautiful bridge would be in Balboa Park but who wants to die in lanes of traffic. 

I know an artist from the dog park who drove his dogs to Tuscon and then did himself in with a gun.  

I'm too excited to see the outcome of all the 2012 hoopla.  It's hard to make plans beyond that.
