Work In Progress- Leaping Into the Unknown
I’ve been very lax about posting updates lately and I know that is a weakness of mine, but here is something new! I’ve been working on this piece for well over a month but just started the acrylic painting portion last week.
Looking great!

“Sometimes it’s a good idea to shut down logic and just play or dance out in the rain, especially when you can do so with a kid! Let the rain wash your problems away, at least for a few minutes. It can be mentally freeing, and even fun!”
A very good idea!

This was a subtractive drawing I did years ago. I drew from a still life that the teacher had put together. It’s only now, after I have experienced having to draw from terrible still lifes, that I really appreciate the effort put into making such a strange set up.
Great drawing!

“Everyone goes through difficult times in their lives — stress, loss, depression, anxiety. I have been to the depths of all of those darknesses and more, but have somehow come back each time. Hence my phoenix tattoo; a forever reminder to rise from the ashes of whatever my darkness may be at any given time.
You can and will rise too, no matter how dark things may seem!”
A great reminder and beautiful shot!

At the start of B-READY 2012-2013, I was pleased to cross paths with a community service organization from Boston University called Voices from the Middle. They focus on helping middle schoolers address issues (i.e. violence, bullying, school life) in the community through creative means. At our initial meeting I was told, after hearing a bit about St. Stephen’s and what we do, that Voices from the Middle would like to commit to working with my students for the whole year.
Since then, thanks to our most amazing volunteers from Boston University, we have been “getting our creative and performing arts on,” if you will. A few months ago, we sat down with the group and had a discussion about creating a mural that would bring unity to what they feel and go through as middle schoolers in Boston and what others go through and experience in the world. After many ideas and blueprints were drawn, a design was chosen and during Spring Break programming we began to paint. Thanks to BU and a grant for paint from Sherwin-Williams, we were able to use vibrant colors to depict what was in our hearts as well as memorializing Jorge Fuentes as a dove and remembering the recent victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
I am so very proud of the YLCers and CITs for their hard work and dedication in this long process. I am also very grateful for Voices from the Middle and their influence in our programming this year. They have already committed to returning for the 2013-2014 school year.
If you have a chance, please check out the mural at St. Stephen’s!
Group picture!
Great work!

“See what a lovely shell
Small and pure as pearl
Lying close to my foot,
Frail, but a work divine,
Made so fairly well
With delicate spire and whorl,
How exquisitely minute,
A miracle of design.”
– Alfred Lord Tennyson, from “Maud”

So, I’m thinking that on Fridays I will post comics. I’m not sure how well this will work – whether the same readership will be interested in silly comics and the more intellectual posts which are the main purpose of the blog. But there is something that appeals to me about throwing together the serious and the silly. It often seems that thinking hard about the world renders more and more surreal results, the more time you put into working through a problem. In any case, I’ve been drawing feet people in the margins of things since the 9th grade, so it seems silly to stop now…
Feet People Self-Pity
Glad you didn’t stop.

“There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described. I photograph to see what something will look like photographed.”
- Garry Winogrand
I am studying what is, at this point, the most complete collection of Garry Winogrand’s photography. Considering that when he died he left upwards of 6,000 rolls of unprocessed film and several thousand unprinted proof sheets, the volume is far from definitive. But it is a deep look at perhaps the most important street photographer of our time. And some great reading as well. Destined to become a classic, click HERE to snag one before they are sold out.
A great shot!
