Some fun lighting at Kelley's house in Baltimore. Mini Light City right in the living room! I got loads of photographs from installations around the Inner Harbor last night. I'll be posting some of those soon.

In the halls of UMBC Visual Arts
It's disconcerting to run into an oversized facsimile of my own stylized face in the halls of the university. Giving my talk on Saturday evening. Super nervous! But looking forward to it, and seeing the illuminations of Light City around the Inner Harbor.
From the archive: an outboard motor and a few lines
An outboard motor, its rotors dull and pitted, hangs from a century-old beam among the rafters. The darkness up there would be forbidding, were it not for the string of lights ‘round the mirror Which smudged reflection is filled with faces, flickering in shadows Of candles and various states of inebriation. The man behind the… Continue reading From the archive: an outboard motor and a few lines
Kitchen Nook, revisited
You may recall a post in which I talked about getting a new (to me) piece of furniture for the nook between the kitchen and the dining area of my apartment. The secretary in question arrived a couple weekends ago, a piece from the childhood home of a dear friend of mine. Before it arrived, I… Continue reading Kitchen Nook, revisited
How are you feeling about Winter?
Yesterday was day one of the blizzard named Stella. Morning brought the rare and disconcerting phenomenon known as thundersnow. I've been tied to my work in recent weeks, however, so the change in the weather mainly just made it prettier and much quieter (barring the thunder) out my windows. Here's an illustration I started and finished for a client project yesterday.… Continue reading How are you feeling about Winter?

The Magazine Show! A new project
This winter I embarked on a journey into audio media— a podcast to be precise. The idea happened one night when James and I were leafing through a stack of vintage magazines, finding outlandish ad copy or headlines, and reading them aloud, trying not to laugh. Some of the content of course is meant to be provocative, for… Continue reading The Magazine Show! A new project
Buildings, again
Above are two versions of the full image from the sneak peek of the waterfront. buildings, this time without photographic sky. I'd like to work more intricately with the window panes of them— maybe create some animations. Imagine the panes being even more kaleidoscopic, color-wise, and all shimmering and shifting— a transition from day to night, showing… Continue reading Buildings, again
Waterfront buildings at dusk
Here is a sneak peek at a work in progress. It probably won't have a photographic sky in the final; we'll see. I was just playing with that. Anyway I like the kaleidoscopic colors in the window panes. That was my initial idea or point of departure: the way window panes facing or nearby the harbor catch light at different… Continue reading Waterfront buildings at dusk
Floor plans of a room: art archive
I've no recollection of what these plans / designs were intended for; sketches at least 18 years old. Regardless of their erstwhile infamy, I don't know what the three screens were about, and don't know to what room these referred. And what on earth is “Model of Strategy”? It had to be for work (“Time to… Continue reading Floor plans of a room: art archive
