Bo, Home Alone by Cyrus and Barry

 

In preparation for teaching animation and film for the first time I've been playing around with video and learning from Tom. Cyrus and I made this short movie today while cat sitting. The storyline was mostly Cyrus's (especially the ending) and the soundtrack is all improvised by Cyrus. Bo is a character in one of our bedtime story franchises about a brother and sister who like to solve mysteries, with the help of UNK. (Yes, UNK is a kind of magical mentor that effortlessly crosses the threshold between our world and the world of story! He is always a faithful guide to signs and synchronicities, and always ready to go on an adventure into dark places with them.)

Mother's Day 2020

My memory for this mother's day is driving out to Knox College in the Summer of 2006 and eating all kinds of good road food - especially coconut cream pies - on the way!

Happy Mothers Day 2020

Listening to mom's tummy gurgle and feeling her scratch my back while I'm crying: I keep crying because I don't want this moment to end. 

I love you mom!

Happy Mother's Day Mom. I hope we can take a trip like this again someday soon.

Convenience Store - The Highest Integration of Art and Life?

Are corner stores the highest integration of art and life? Maybe not, but they're pretty close. To respond to this week's theme, I drew a convenience store in a two story building. The apartment (life) is above and the convenience store (art) is below.

You might ask, "are convenience store art?" Well, I don't know. But maybe the distinction between art and life could be that life is private aspect of existence and art is the public aspect of existence.

If that isn't what art is, if art means basically painting, sculpture, etc. (which I am fine with), then convenience stores are not art. In that case, I drew a picture (art) of a convenience store (life). I think I'm covered either way here.

Three cheers for the revamped rhino!
