Red girl or maybe pink girl...

This entry was moved from the Metaphoratorium Gallery.



With the potential for endless digital manipulation it is really difficult to know when you are done with a picture like this. Andy Warhol might have loved the idea - a production line of variation. I have quite a few varriations on this. The original was much more crudely drawn. Also it was a larger screen with reams of wild hair. I had just discovered the blender,smearing tools in NeoPaint and was having fun.

Now here is a project for a geeky artist out there somewhere - write a program that randomly creates altered versions of one photo in a slide show installation in a museum.......

Poetry Poster: for 2/8/2006 event


This is a 8.5 by 11 inch poster which I did for a reading by poet Sou MacMillan. It was part of a series I made for the Wednesday Night Poetry Series in 2006. The method involved collaging bits of paper, (including publicity materials sent by the poet & the Wednesday Night Poetry program/flyer) marking on paper with oil pastel, crayon, white-out, pen and pencil, etc. In all my hand made posters, (as opposed to the strictly electronic ones) I was shooting for a depth of touch on each page. What I mean by that is, in the higher ressolution versions, if you zoom in on any part of the page, there is a lot going, a lot if interesting marks and colors to see.
