Adding a new gallery tonight

This is not just an altered book. Dragonwyck creates a mood, a moment in time… more on this particular piece will be revealed after the Oscars are over and when I have a brain again. And it is also not clearly available, although the gallery is loaded because the page is under the header image, the green graphic, and this must be corrected. You can see Dragonwyck Gallery by clicking here.

Looking into Red Bubble

Red Bubble’s credo is similar to the Dead Mule. We tell everyone to submit, “you’re a writer because you say you are.” It’s refreshing to read that on an art site. Red Bubble sells photographs, big, beautiful, gorgeous photos. Of course, I like the collages the best but you should check out all the works. Look up Kurt Tutschek’s collages. Especially the “Woman who dreamt of becoming a seahorse” – it is phenomenal. I am negotiating with my internal banker about whether or not to buy a copy… so far, the pros outweigh the cons.

Quote:

The RedBubble community exists to challenge the elitism of the traditional art world.

We believe that everyone’s an artist. We think creative expression and communication should be encouraged and celebrated.

The RedBubble website helps us communicate with artists and showcase the work created by the community.

An influential artist recently declared 2009 to be the “Year of Assemblage“. Those of us who remain firmly grounded upon the pocosin of common sense application can well appreciate the rumor in this announcement.

The beauty of the assemblagist mind, the pure and passionate intensity of their vision, unfanciful and undressed up. Such artists have nightmares in which they can not distinguish the true from the literate. Waking within the confines of a normal structure will determine the outcome of the moment.
–Spencer Montgomery

In the development of the Absolute, the definition of the substance evolves into a pluralistic tendency grounded firmly in the realism of the period.

This, then, is how the assemblage artist thinks. In concrete literal definitions of immutable objects. Lessened only by contact with reality, these objects become desires.

That’s all I’m saying… and it’s true. Those readers who do not embrace the Reality of Assemblage Combined have never visited a 91-year-old dementia patient who just broke their elbow and cracked open the back of their head because she forgot she no longer knew how to walk.
