I've Had a Visitor for the Past Three Days

Luckily this is the exterior view of my new 'friend.' It has only moved about three inches in three days. All images clickable.

From the interior, with some playing around in Photoshop.

Through the screened window. I'd die without screens, lol. The combination of the windowscreen's grid, the resolution of the digital image and the color manipulation, adds up to a very stylized photograph, well in keeping with my 'under the grid' layering work on my wooden pieces.

  1. WHO WOULD THINK A MOTH COULD MAKE A NEAT PICTURE.

    LOVE THE WHOLE PICTURE.

  2. thank you. I think I try to find 'art' in everything around me. You don't have to go to a museum to see something in a new way.

    Some many years ago, I had a Praying Mantis on my screen for a few days, it was huge, half a foot high at the least. once back at my mother's house there was a Luna Moth that hung out on the garden fence for a few days. I have photos of all of these, but they're not digital, and the prints are everywhere, in boxes, out of boxes, everywhere. i've probably shot 15,000 photos at least, in the past 20 years. maybe more!

  4. i all-too-easily lose sight of any sort of big picture though, lol. I've always enjoyed the details so much. I've been scanning mucho old contact sheets from the 1970s and 1980s and have had the pleasant experience of seeing my early eye match up to the way i see things today.

  5. The image with the screen behind it reminds me of the Pet Shop Boys "Alternative" album cover but with different subjects/objects behind it.

  6. i just googled that album cover and you're right! i LOVE finding cultural references in my work, unwitting as they may be. I'd like to think if i was creating artwork for musicians today, i'd be the same artist I am right now. thanks for the comment, Woody!

  7. Your welcome and I'll always be in full sport of your work. There is a song on the album called, Miserablism. If you think like an artist, you'll love the catchy words and old synth sounds that personify the group: most successful pop dual in world history.
