After all of last year's Big Paintings, I've been thinking tiny and ephemeral and am having fun doing some small editions (40) and mailing them out.

Playing around - I started making these in 2008 with the end scraps of paintings- the collection of odd shaped cut off parts, left-overs. Idioms, funny pairings, palate cleansers, (Alice Elliott Dark called them 50-cent words). I am interested in what’s happening when they are all together.

Spot on.
Week of Dec. 15
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Barney Oldfield (1878-1946) was a pioneer car racer who was the first ever to run a 100-mile-per-hour lap at the  Indianapolis 500. He was a much better driver while setting speed records and beating other cars on racetracks than he was at moseying through regular street traffic. Why? He said he couldn't think clearly if he was traveling at less than 100 miles per hour. I suspect you may temporarily have a similar quirk, Leo -- not in the way you drive but rather in the way you live and work and play. To achieve maximum lucidity, you may have to be moving pretty fast.

A friend gave me some old Loran-C maps of our area. Although I've been working with mappy stuff for a while, I've never actually used real/found maps. I've been playing around with them in the studio in different ways, one of which was to black out all the text and numbers on the maps. It's tedious, meditative and fun. I made these drawings based on the one map I've been altering. They'll be at Parlor Gallery staring on Dec 17.
