Selfie in Three Parts

I’ve sat at the computer a lot today. Carefully and meticulously snipping and placing bits of footage together. My first minute of a video usually takes me the longest. A haiku:

Making Some Noise

There was a time when I struggled to call myself an artist. 

There is still a time when I struggle to call myself a musician. As it is,  I often feel a little more comfortable sayin...

Proof of Concept

A few seconds of silence for the proof of concept!

Inspired by a great contemporary filmmaker, I thought I'd try the concept myself!

After much work gathering a gigantic pile of leaves,...

Wednesday Walk

Bits and Pieces to Come

A few years ago, when I began this journey into a new medium (film) I really wasn't sure what I was doing. I don't even think at the time I really considered it an art medium. But with the last cou...

Working on a Clay Chawan

I created this chawan from a ball of white clay. It is in the Kurinuki tradition of hand built pottery from a single lump of clay. I was excited to film part of this process to share it with you! View Post

Selfie in Three Parts plus Work in Progress

Today’s drawing was created in both charcoal and graphite. The charcoal allows me to create the lines I’ve become accustomed to, and the graphite allows me to create the details I’m striving ...

Exploring the Lakeshore

I took a walk along the shore line of a man made lake. I filmed it all. I was merely looking at what I could see. 

I found both natural and man made detritus. 

Come for an exp...

Selfie in Three Parts

Today’s three parts highlight the face. My face. The same face I have seen in the mirror my whole life. Obviously, we all have seen our selves in the same way.

Over the years, my face has ...

A cold day in Georgia.
