Toy cars on a piano. Now that's art.

Flying Machine
February 9, 2008 40/366
SkyGirl--channeling Bono, apparently--and her cousin riding DaVinci's Flying Machines at the Renaissance Fair. Yes, this place can be hokey. And the corollary to my bestselling coffee table book, "Beautiful People Do Not Go to Theme Parks," would be "Less-than-Beautiful People Like to Dress in Corsets and Pantaloons." But, I really like this festival. Maybe it's that the rides are all human powered. Maybe it's the excellent craftsmanship in the costumes, tools, and leather bound journals (which I can't resist buying). Or maybe it's the really good beer.
This year I was most impressed with the joust, which in previous years always looked very staged, but this year, the knights seemed to be actually competing and the speed of the horses was certainly not faked. Even if it was pre-programmed, three knights on galloping horseback, each carrying an 9 foot lance, and spearing a ring tossed in mid air still ranks as an bit of skill.

This was a tough week. Half of our staff out for two days meaning I pick up the slack. Plus today was SkyGirl's ballet lesson and we had to clean house before guests arrived tomorrow. Thus a late night attempt at artistry. (Imagine the ones that didn't make the cut.)

Skilled Hands
February 6, 2008 37/366
Caught short handed at the clinic, I assisted the Doctor all day. And by assisted, I mean that I generally stayed far away from sharp objects, fur and blood. I am at home in the front room, with the money and the computer and the servile attitude.
Full Fathom Five

Nothing of him that does fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Swimming laps at 6:00am. Halogen lights, the black pre-dawn, and the mist rising from the warm pool into the cold morning air.

Pale Before the Stars
February 2, 2008 33/366
Soulja Boy (and forgive me if I'm spelling that wrong, but who gives a damn) performing at the ESPN the Magazine Super Bowl Party. I was there for the glamor, the glitz and because it was the only party that was free.
An alternate me

My dress clothes ready to go. I had a big presentation the next day, which explains the lame photo at 11:00pm. I was busy preparing the whole day.

The light

These are a couple of paintings I did in college when I was infatuated with Bernard Newman.
