'Tonight' poem excerpt

Howdy and Welcome!

Here are closeups from some pages from my 'Art Journal #2 Never Give Up - Never Surrender!'.

Enjoy!

Closeups of pages from Art Journal #2 -

 'Never Give Up - Never surrender!'

The italics calligraphy text is an excerpt from 'Tonight', one of my original published poems.

Ingredients: each page of sketch paper covered in 2"wide masking tape both sides, white gesso, tinted gessos, various paints, mediums, techniques, watercolor, acrylic, pens, mesh tape (from hardware store), inks, ZIG calligrapy marker, gel pens, glitter, 14k gold paint.

What do you think of thses closeups? I love the abract quality of these pages. I specifically tried to turn off the analytical side of my brain and let the artwork create it self with little thought or design.

What do you think of the textures, and various layers peeking in and out?

The title of this journal 'Never give up, never surrender!' is a motto from the sci-fi movie 'GALAXY QUEST' with Tim Allen!

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment if you have a moment or 2 - and visit again soon!

Peace,

Another original photo ACCEPTED for publication!

I'm happy to announce that another of my original photos will be published in the SPRING 2010 issue of the BAC Street Journal (No. 3)!

This is the second time my work has been published in the BAC Street Journal. Last year, the premier issue of the BAC Street Journal - published in Spring 2009 - included two of my works - an original poem and an original photo!

The Beverly Art Center, publisher of the BAC Street Journal, is throwing a reception on Sunday May 23, 2010 for all of us artists who are being published in this Spring issue!

Woo-hoo!
