Resolutions and Confessions for 2006

Eric makes some.

Sailing The Boat

Creepy child.

danger!!! haunted area

Party over there.

half-sunk bike rack

It's probably an even safer place to chain your ride now.

tree saw and cart wheel

Of course this is in New Hampshire!

Jesus Christ in the garden of Gethsemane

Good thing we don't celebrate this moment in his life. Worst holiday ever, except maybe Flag Day.

tree santa

Now THAT'S a Christmas tree.

glow santa

He is coming tonight. And you will know. Because he is glowing.

Citgo sign

I'm not sure why I took this picture in the first place, but I like the colors.

She shall crush thy head and thou shalt lie in wait for Her heel

Don't mess with Mary.

doorbells

Please knock.

The pure body of the Immaculate Virgin was not a prey for worms

Page from the book "Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God; with the History of the Devotion to Her. Completed by the Traditions of the East, the Writing of the Fathers, and the Private History of the Jews." The title actually keeps going, believe it or not. But I think that's quite enough. Published by D. & J. Sadler & Co., 31 Barclay St., New York, 1853. With gold leaf and orange dye.

everything's coming up junkhouse

A rare still life that I set up.

George Learns About The Mind/A Nursery Rhyme

Silver leaf and orange dye on an illustration from the book "Christmas Joys", published in 1901.

Screenshot from a Jim Henson movie that I can't remember the name of.

The Hebrew Slave-girl

Illustration from the storybook "Chatterbox", published in 1885, with silver leaf applied.

backwards 4

This is not reversed. This is how someone actually painted this on the parking lot asphalt.

My Little Twin Daughters

And, lovely pearls,
When little girls
No longer sit ye on my knee,
May winsome ways
And gladsome days
Twin sisters your companions be.

- PHILIP LINDSLEY

Mel eats an apple

Ceilidh's film shots from this night turned out a lot better than mine.

Pompey and his Owl

Another piece from the Rifrakt holiday show.

girl wit' da pearl

She watchin' ya pizzah.

The Lapp's Good Friend

Gold and silver leaf, and orange dye, on a page from the storybook "Christmas Joys", published in 1901.

apple crates

I've never really been a fan of going apple picking. Is that okay?

Tame Hawk

For the Rifrakt holiday show this past weekend, I made a bunch of collage-y pieces from old books. I cut out some pages and then selectively applied gold and/or silver leaf, and sometimes orange dye. This one's just silver leaf. The illustration is from a book of stories and poems called "Chatterbox", published in 1885.

more double windows

Eternally unfinished basement.

more skylights

Clare's room provides double the sunniness of David's room.

Melvin Memorial

Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, MA, Memorial Day 2008.

Rifrákt Holiday Art Show, TODAY!

Come say hi and get your holiday shopping done early. Everything's $10, and handmade, and awesome. Your giftees will flip out, if they like art. And things that are awesome. Because that's what we got right here:

New Idea Society

Mike Law of New Idea Society, at MassArt North 175, probably in 2000 or 2001.

DeLorean

DeLorean graffiti, taken with my phone at dusk. The crummy quality is perfect for this, though.

Rifrákt Holiday Art Show: two day warning

Another preview of what I'll be selling at the show on Saturday. Here's the info again:

barn with red doors

A snazzy red-doored barn, somewhere in New Hampshire.

Rifrákt Holiday Art Show, this Saturday

I'll be joining the Rifrákt folks for this art show/sale in JP this Saturday. I won't have any photos this time. Instead, I did some collage-ish things on paper. Here's a preview below. Come get your holiday shopping done early, cheaply and, above all, classily.
