backhoe, though...
I guess you don't have the thumbnails scripted yet, since I couldn't get a
large version.
Whew. I promise I won't turn you in to the Bandwidth Conservation Society.
So the mighty download of the thumbnails indicates preloading of the larger
verision, yes?
What kind of file compression software are you using? If I may, look into
Macromedia Fireworks 2 as the premiere compressor (you may be using this
already).
Site looks great. Nice to see some of your other ptngs, albeit thumbnails.
Oh, yes, and now you have a face, too. That's a strange thing -- we're all
so disembodied here.

Dan,
I wrote a little ditty on your e-mail thing which my netscape won't let me
send till I check my own messages through gateway or netscape or something
so I am including comments as an attachment here because I'm too lazy or
busy to write it again. It takes so LOOOOONG to download the pics. I
wonder if it is my server's fault. Also, how come the thumbnails don't
enlarge???

It shouldn't do that - it comes up on my Netscape 3 fine. Try again!
And just watch for all the good stuff coming soon. Including my wife's
new site, Kameo Graphics (www.kameographics.com) - Catch her African

Tried again Dan, unsuccessfully even though I actually got into the site
this time - even went through the rigmarole of installing IE4 for the
occasion (and three hours on the phone to tech support) - the problem is
my trusty laptop doesn't have the capacity to download the jpegs (which
seem to be large - are they ?).
So to think back to the two images you sent me a few weeks ago - which
you know I loved - do you remember I mentioned it was the spatial
relationship between the *drawing* and the abstract that immediately
wooed me ? This is why I always admired Tapies - (that was the clue that
made me search to see if it was you). Is the paint applied thickly ? it
looks like glazes from what I can remember. I am fascinated between the
combination of painting and drawing on the same plane.
Looking forward to seeing your wife's work.

it was well worth the ten minute wait ... now THIS is what I call *Art*
! More on that later. Might I suggest that you have the images converted
from gif to jpg ? It seems that jpgs are much easier to work with - they
can be reduced without losing the clarity of the image and are very fast
to send across the Net. Unfortunately the quality of those six images
are very poor and I feel sure this will be the reason (did you see my
post about having slides put onto CDrom ?) can't wait for the rest of
the site ... let us know.

Hmmm - I think the files are gifs, and they are under 50K. I'm going to
improve on this soon, with real thumbnails that link to big pix, etc., so
don't worry if you can't get them now. Sorry you're having trouble!

Thanks! I'm always especially pleased when another artist likes my stuff.
Yes, the relationship between drawing and painting has always interested
me (Marilyn picked up on this, too). And of course you picked up my
interest in Tapies (clever of you!) I adore his work - I got a good deal a
couple of years ago on his four-volume catalog raisonne (sp?) for a
fraction of the price.

It varies. It's all acrylic, although no one realizes
that unless I tell them - you can make acrylic behave and look like oil if
you have the *****SKILL!**** (grin) It varies from very thin layers
scrubbed into unprimed canvas (as in the Spanish Steps - earth tone -
series), or several layers from transparent to opaque in the Water Planet
one. I also draw on the canvas with oil pastels and charcoal. The thickness
of the paint changes usually due to how many times I have to work things
over, restart, edit, etc., before I see what I want. I almost never do
thick impastos, although you can do it very nicely with acrylic using lots
of gel medium mixed with the paint - modeling paste works, too. (Tapies
uses marble dust and sand with his oil paint as well).

Now I am jealous, Dan. I spent so much time in the Tapies Foundation in
Barcelona trying to decide whether to buy them or not, that I hardly saw
the work. In the end someone told me she could get them for me at a
reduced rate in UK so I opted for a superb catalogue, which I stupidly
gave to a friend of mine who is crazy on Tapies (she paints red shoes
incidentally). The book I bought had an excerpt from his 1970 Essay
*Nothing is Mean* ... I must try and get another copy of it. What I
really like in Tapies work was not only the relationship between drawing
and painting but also the use of texture - which I have always done in
my own work - I love tactile surfaces, especially when they are created
solely in paint. The need for tactile, before anyone psychoanalysis me
and my sexuality, may be a reaction to the sterile environment of the
*screen* today. Video and computer work leaves me cold - maybe we are
saturated by images across the screen ?
The relationship between drawing and painting continues to intrigue me.
In my first year degree I had a tutor who made sure we all thought the
two should never meet on a canvas. Still haven't figured out the reasons
- he was a fifties Hard Edge painter (always boasting about being
buddies with Greenberg). Unfortunately that stayed with me from day one
- and that is probably why the two for me have never integrated. I got
him back in my finals by doing the backward writing series ... pissed
him right off !
>It varies. It's all acrylic, although no one realizes

True ! but I have also mastered how to make oils behave like acrylics -
I still say that the vibrancy of the colours cannot be matched in
acrylics. *******Flame me****** (huge grin)

This is how my friend who paints red shoes works .... she always has a
hands on approach .. working the paint and mediums into the canvas and
often stitching into it. I just get such a buzz out of these sorts of
surfaces. Some of my work from five years ago has built up surfaces with
glass, rope, metal and tissue paper - the tissue is soaked in PVA glue
(the kids water soluble glue) and then layered across the surfaces.
Glazes of paint applied on top of this and it becomes like a plastic.
On that note ... off to the canvas I go !

We really can't see the 3-dimensionality of the paint surface. What I mean
is that a work may be a *flat 2-D surface painting, yet, if the paint is
applied thickly there will always be an almost imperceptible casting of
shadows, ridges, strokes, etc. which we can examine. Also, an extremely
large work can't be viewed in its normal size. Then again, slides may
project an image extremely large, yet we still suffer from *lessening the
impact of the paint surface by comparison when we view works in person.

Flame, flame. But I agree. I can do an acrylic very thickly and it isn't
really obviously different from oil BUT I look at the acrylic and picture
how it would look if I did another like it in oil and the oil always wins by
a landslide! What I CANNOT get from acrylic is the sensual feeling of
stroking (psychoanalize me now!). There seems to be a visual and physical
integration of senses that is unsurpassed in any other medium (to me) except
perhaps for the sheer physicality of sculpting which I experienced though I
only took 4 sculpture classes.

Phallic/vaginal - that's all I ever heard from my upper-division art history
professor. Sweet man - and loved his classes, but every single work of art

Anyone who wants to look at my digital experiments with abstract art (which

There's a link at the bottome of th pate to "ae experiments." I'm looking for

completely fake. No smell of paint, stains, etc. Digital art is very weird

Fritz Perls said that if you have a complete plan for your life you don't
have a life, you just have a plan. My Dad was a control freak, planned
every detail of his life. Got him nowhere. I try to be as uncontrolled
and irresponsible as possible, but it's harder with kids.

Is it time for another cool post from me to the RAF gang?
You could start by posting the URL to
your pix, maybe renaming them for the benefit of RAF! Like, 'Jillian
practicing Onanism While Hutto Watches,' etc etc. Some fuckwad (!) in RAF
said in all seriousness that there was no difference between a naked moose
and a naked woman. That idea should be worth a whole series of kinkoid fun!

My slide guy had his entire building burn down. He lost everything, all his
own photo work, records, customer work, equipment. No insurance. We set up
a fund for him and his family. Not a good time to be a slide guy,
apparently.

Hey, let's be honest, here. Mattison brags because she is a poor lost soul
who probably hasn't been laid since the Crimean War. WHAT HARM is there for
her to be carrying around prints of my picture, putting them up in the john
in her hovel in Mexico, folding them in her handbag, stealing furtive
glances at my manly countenance during the day and then, when she's
finished uplifting the Mexican people, having a slug of Tequila and
a total Wank-o-Rama as I gaze down benevolently?
Don't be fearful, Kay. Be glad. Glad that you have the potential
to brighten the life of some incest-ridden mental defective in, say,
Mississippi. Why, you may be responsible for some lout's first waking
orgasm. This is not to be taken lightly.
(I actually met the woman, thirty years after the fact, who
WAS responsible for my first waking orgasm. But that's another story.)

you promised us that story ages ago ... come on
Dan Fox
That must've been another story. Here's this one - all true.
When I started
going to San Miguel de Allende (the art colony in Mexico that I hope to
Christ Mattison doesn't find), I met a charming couple - writer Alice
Densen and her husband Charles.
Alice is a terrific woman, still vibrant in late middle age, outrageous,
and sexy as hell. She made a lot of money by writing a book called The
Ghost and Mrs. Muir, which was made into a tv series. She also wrote a
novel called Amo, a fictionalized account of her liasons with everyone from
Phillip Roth to Hugh Hefner.
Anyway, when she was young she posed for skin magazines, etc., and got
picked as a Playboy Playmate. She was billed as 'the writing playmate,' and
the magazine carried one of her short stories in the same issue. One pic
showed her with her Phi Beta Kappa key in strategic spot.
I remembered her very well in the magazine and told her that I thought she
was responsible for my first waking orgasm. She and Charles got a good
laugh out of that - and it's true. A guy remembers those things.
They live in New York in the winter and San Miguel in the summer, and we
still get together.
Anybody wanna add their stories?

Nice story ! don't start me off ... I spent three years working for the
rich and famous (including -- excuse spellings -- Geraldo Rivera and as
bunch of crazies riding on the back of whales; John Travolta (he has a
great ass); Jackie Onassis (she drips wealth, moody bitch she was); Don
Johnson and the entire cast of Miami Vice including the alligator;
Robert Maxwell (yes yes, *I* poisoned him); and one of the princes of
Kuwait and his merry band who caused us a lot of embarrassment and a
near rape charge in Spain ..... need I continue ???? No artists I am
afraid ... but when Peter the Sublime arrives maybe you can pursuade him
to tell you his tale of out staring Picasso in a south of France cafe
almost fifty years ago....
gotto to Dan ... I mean rush .......
