Well that was interesting

I have two home computers and they both died the same week.  

One was old and the other was real old. 

 Anticipate posting more soon.

Been Toying With "Clip Studio Paint"

Why Think?

I have been thinking of making money with slightly veiled use of other people’s products.

So book publisher's I give you...

But, don't worry I have an excuse...

that I can't tell you about...but...but it's a good one.

Open Title

I’m a big fan of my Son’s art. His best work is in ink and pencil. Many of his works are in open story form, with a touch of mysticism. I honestly would hate to title any of his work for it would tie it down. I think he has started a new art movement and I think he could call it “If”, but I would favor, “If-ish”.

Opti-pess-imist

Optimists believe we live in the best of worlds.        Pessimists fear this is true.

Arty R R

If you do your art on a computer every print is as good as the first, because there will be no printing plate degradation.  In the past, before computers, an artist would number their prints because the lower the number the better the print.
Some artist will have on offer a giclee print, but it still is an inkjet or digital print.  It just sounds better in an art gallery.   
As long as the file can be accessed is as long as prints can be made. Printing only 100 prints then wiping the file would make the art worth more.  So Artist's must destroy their work to make more money, but maybe loose fame for their art when they die if none of their art survives.  
Surprisingly hand signed prints are worth more for the touch of the artist than the work of the artist.

Look it's a rare bird, it's a privet jet, no it's better than all that its...

His outfit is the color of old money.

battletech summer

Well, I'm having an odd summer, I have been painting battletech miniatures for someone other than myself.  While it's been fun it's sad to see them go. It makes me feal like Gollum when my precious leave my house.

 I have also been changing my classical guitar assembly tuning machine heads on one side of my guitar.  I bought real nice looking ones and promptly damaged them.  Then I got a set for ten dollars that don't look as pretty but work great.  Sometimes practical is better than pretty.

Neal Shusterman

A quote from his book "Downsiders"
...a civilization is denied the right to evolve beyond its own embarrassment.

The society hidden underground in this book is imaginative and interesting without being heavily over explained.  I give this book 5 socks out of 5.

The concept of abstract thought in animals.

The scientific thinker will say animals only rely on instincts

and that

pet owners add humanized caricaturists to dumb animals.

Pet owners observe their pets and see more going on in their heads than I eat, sleep, poo, and mark my territory.

Each camp would rather argue than

take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem.

All this because of

how people think that other people think about how an animals thinks.
