Brother Ben called yesterday to tell me about his new website. Ben is a photographer in Oklahoma City. He's been working and creating for several years now, and besides excellent photo work, he produces some stunning mixed media work, from which three pieces were selected to be a part of the 2009 Momentum Art Show in Oklahoma city this last March.
For the record, Ben, I'd like to purchase Planet of One. If you would set that aside for me, I'll contact you about payment.
Another friend of mine is also a photographer, residing in Norman, Oklahoma. Tim Higdon has launched a new and improved website of his own work. If I'm not mistaken, Tim built the site himself. Tim's portrait photography is excellent.
In addition to his portrait work, Tim also creates original work that is displayed on the same site. From a creative point of view, Tim's original work is much stronger and much more interesting. In fact, these works should have there own website. I describe these works to be images of heightened sur-reality. They are darkly conceived, somewhat unsettling, even absurd and light. Tim's sense of humor has always been subversive and is on obvious display in his precisely rendered photos. My only disappointment here is that I wanted to see more of this style and concept. In the future, I hope to see a greater portion of Tim's work built from these strange, vexing works.
Seeing bros and buds kick-it art style, is girding and charging. Perhaps a three man show in the future, eh?
My mother in-law, Marie, is receiving her Masters of Divinity, with an emphasis on biblical women, from Regis University on Saturday. Congratulations, Marie. Time to raise a glass and drink from the well.
I like spaceships.
Next to perfectly prepared meals, spaceships are my favorite example of the combination of art and science.
A fellow named Steve Eves likes spaceships too. On Saturday, April, 25th, he launched his 1/10 scale Apollo Saturn V model rocket. Turn up your volume and enjoy the video.
Have a good weekend, and Godspeed, John Glenn,
Dave
