Ginko
At the photo shoot last Easter in Canada, the publisher took a lot of
pictures of many of my pieces, so I had no idea which ones would be in
print. I was pleased with the layout, and happy to see some of my
favorite pieces were chosen for publication. The October issue will
have more, along with an article about art journals.
This after my mother discovered a picture of me in _Sunshine Artist_
while she was thumbing through magazines here at the house. It was
one of those crowded street shots taken at an art festival here where
we were selling. I never recognize myself, and certainly didn't in
this picture as I was drenched, cold and apparently heading back to
our tent. Glamour shot it was not.
I suppose now I shall have to aspire to make the cover of something.

Congrats Debbi.
Coincidently, I just submitted an article to Sea Kayaker magazine for
possible publication. The editor of the mag had read something I wrote on a
kayaking mailing list and sent me email, asking me if I'd be interested in
writing it up for an article.

I recently saw a picture taken of me from behind some twenty years
ago. It was a little creepy. Going through that old shoebox with my
sister was one strange and interesting experience...

Congrats to you, too. On my own I wouldn't have submitted an article
to Wire Artist, but we would see the publisher from time to time at
trade shows and she kept after me until I agreed. Since she is not
aggressive, and I procrastinate, it took about two years to get this
done.

These were mostly teenage/young adult pictures. When I got back home
I went through my volumes of boink photos. Many of the usual suspects
were accounted for very recently in Vermont, but I keep wondering how
all the people in the pictures are doing who I've lost touch with...

I can accept what I look like. It's just a mirror image of the mirror image
that I see in the mirror every day. Pictures from behind left me a little
bit
stunned once or twice, but I have grown used to how I look from most
angles. What really gets me is hearing a recording of my voice. It just
plain sounds wrong!

It felt kind of strange to me, going through all my photos in June and
July (I started looking for my lost passport in the Germany photos, and
just kept going ... at least the photo screen I bought a few years ago is
finally done). Some wonderful memories, and some regrets for phone calls
not made, letters not written, etc. If I had more boink photos, I'd
probably add "posts not submitted" to that list. :-)

That's it! It's not my fault!
On the lines of being unaware...
In my mailbox tonight are two requests from strangers wanting me to
send directions on how to make the hot air balloon pendant and the
other generally wants directions to all my work. I don't know what to
say. I didn't anticipate that people would write and ask me to tell
them how they can make my designs. I shall have to ponder this a bit.

It was a general street shot of the crowd. I didn't even notice the
picture had been taken. Usually I am pretty good at jumping out of
the way of a camera. Considering we debated a while about whether it
really was me or not, I don't think anyone is going to recognize me.

Lessee, if I were going for the cover of the rolling stone equivalent,

No!? I would have thought they had it already. I am anxious to see
if our B&N has it. I might be able to drive soon to go check. I was
told to take about two weeks for the driving restriction. It's been 2

This is where you gracefully and graciously tell them that the
directions will be available in your forth-coming "how to" book.
And then take down their names for advance orders.

If you are willing to write up the directions, do so and then sell them.
I certainly wouldn't do it for free and I might not do it at all, were

Talking to the magazine publisher today, I learned that this request
is not uncommon. She suggested I reply that we are considering a
future article with instructions. That isn't a lie. Considering it
took me about two years to get these two articles done, they may have
a bit of a wait.

Justin Hayward from The Moody Blues was in my taxi once, and so was
Leonard Cohen. Both of those were during my first year in the business,
and since then only infamous people have been my customers...
I once met Willie Aames. Dunno what happened to him in the 23 or 24
years since, and I once saw Norman Fell during a film shoot. I don't
believe that the film he was shooting at the time was ever released...
Was I once in the same opera audience with Toni Tenille? I forget...
I think I make famous people infamous by osmosis.

I studied with a soon-to-be famous artist, know a famous artist, and had to
flee in terror from women who wished to acquire a piece of said famous
artist's work from me even after I said it wasn't for sale...

Yeah, well, if I didn't like Bev so much, she would have been in fear of
her life when I saw the pretty bauble around her neck on a not so recent
meeting.

Sorry, but I think all oldies stations should be vaporized, but only
after all Muzak oldies program channels. I have my priorities.
I tell you, after the first 5000 times I heard "Layla" I only wanted to
eliminate Eric Clapton. Now I'm ready for everyone involved in the
production of the recording to be slowly tortured by evil, evil violent
people. yuk pui caca *spit*
And when will radio ever get back to actually playing new music? Or is
there actually any new music in America? All I'm hearing is rehashes of
the same old same old. Did the businessmen and lawyers destroy everything?

Yes. When to find time for all the projects. But I think such a thing
goes down in the "self-promotion" category, for the diligent will
follow the directions, the inspired will do it once (like a recipe
book) and then develop their own riff, and the vast masses will keep
it to ooh and ah over, not actually _doing_ it), all the time enjoying
the delicious photography and drooling over the final results.
Think like a college prof or researcher with a specialty.... .

Of course. With a web page to talk about the progress you are making
on said book, and actively solicitiong suggestions from your fans.
TB, not that I'm trying to apply any such principles to my own stuff,
oh no....

Like all good art and science, the final result makes it look easy.
It's revelation when you are made aware of the sweat equity in that
little bit of "easy."
TB, who always grooves on such details, 'cause I _know_ how long the
easy stuff can take.

There is a scene in Bruce MacDonald''s early effort "Road Kill" that
you will completely and utterly understand. The cabbie who drives the
female lead from Toronto to somewhere north of Sault St. Marie is _so_
you with long hair. He's driven all the famous musicians. He's their
faourite driver. Of course, you and I as the viewers, assume that he
is making all this up until Nash the Slash makes a cameo appearance
towards the end of the movie.

“In Canada there are really only two jobs to choose from – hockey
player or serial killer. I’ve got weak ankles.” - Don McKellar as the
serial killer in "Roadkill"
* For those who are interested, this is one of my favourite movies.
For the following reasons:
1. It is utterly and relentlessly Canadian.
2. Mostly takes place in central and the southern portion of Northern
Ontario (there is a place-labelling scene of slag being tipped down a
slope that places it unmistakeably in Sudbury, Ont)
3. It is set in the late eighties, and the lead character is an
underemployed young woman who is making the most of
a position in a fly-by-night record company, echoing my experiences in
similar operations on the graphic design side of the street.
4. The lead character doesn't drive, but learns to during the course
fo the movie. So it's about rising to personal challenges and
liberation. In the course of the movie, she transforms from a mousy
bookish, cowed type, to a gorgeous babe who takes a challenge, smiles,
and comes out stronger for the experience.
5. It features a dead rabbit.
6. It appears to be wacked and zany, but reflects a very real version
of Queen St at the time. :) (I drank with some of those types)

ClearChannel bought it all up and detroyed it.
In a sane world, they'd be busted for their criminal monopoly

to much amusement this past week i was trying to tell
someone that it's not that the Canadians hate USoAians
but that they suffer envy and don't have national spirts
that let them take out their aggressions in a mannerly
fashion.
ok, joking aside, he wasn't quite sure what to make
of me, saying that i didn't experience hatred when i
visited Canada, and liked my Canadian friends. though
he's still upset about that moron name calling episode.

<laugh> That was _funny_ in a deadly accurate, now, now we really
can't let the trvth out in public sort of way. A certain portion of
our population was genuinely upset by it too, but I personally was
giggling helplessly in a corner, trying not to be too loud orthump my
heels too loudly on the floor. It Was The Ultimate Transparency In
Politics Moment.
I mean, look at all the names Dubya's being called now. A little
foreign name-calling looks absolutely tepid in comparison.
BTW, check out www.retrovsmetro.org. I've been working my way through
the first nine chapters that are available on via pdf downloads, and
have learned _so much_ about your political system, including some of
the defining characteristics of republican vs. democrat states.
The split and the strategy suggested for the Democrats is remarkably
similar to what was adopted by our Liveral Party and what is shaping
our political scene. Remember, the Liberals rallied the soft leftish
vote this spring by invoking the spectre of a Bush style neocon
goverment. Every one of the leftish leaning members of my family
(including me) decided not to vote for our favourite parties (NDP,
Green) and instead put our votes with the Liberals. Most of us have
eventually done relatively well in life, but know that decent social
programs either made a critical difference in our lives at some point,
or know someone who needed them. We'll see what sort of prize we
pulled out of the cereal box when Parliament convenes this September.
Paul Martin's on probation with his minority government.
The resource driven areas (and provinces) tend to be conservative, and
the cities tend to be liberal, with the exception of Saskatchewan,
which hung onto Progressive politics long after if was fashionable,
and helped to spawn our publicly paid for health care system on Tommy
Douglas's watch.
