There was an error in this gadget. Thursday, October 18, 2012. In-depth: the story behind Fig. 7, Intention Manifest Device. This piece is an intaglio-type print, which is a non-toxic printmaking process I did in another workshop. It's the first image in the Esoterica II: Apocalypse 2012. Series. However, it only makes reference to future images, so it's more like a transition piece between Esoterica.

I took a monotype workshop from Ron last year (blog entry here. And was going through my notes again and came across the 3 C's. The 3 C's are really important concepts for any kind of artist (Musicians too), so I thought I would share. Ron Pokrasso's 3 C's. Though since it's often the last of the C's to come forth.

Rebecca's Art Blog: Art in Washington DC

http://artgeekblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/art-in-washington-dc.html

There was an error in this gadget. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Art in Washington DC. First up, some art at the airport! On the way to DC, in a layover at the Dallas airport, we had lunch at a good Tex-Mex restaurant. And saw this amazingly creepy painting. The waiter had no explanation for it.it's just been on the wall for years. I was equally surprised to find decent food in an airport and even more excited to find a margarita made with fresh juice rather than sour mix! Me in kimono at Sakura Matsuri.
