    Tony’s Blues: Monday W2Y6

    Do you know how the fedora hat got its name? Fédora was the name of a character and the title of a play written for and acted by Sarah Bernhardt in 1882. In that role, Bernhardt wore a soft felt hat which made a big splash in the fashion world and became very stylish for women at that time. It took off for men in the 1920s when Edward, Prince of Wales, adopted the fashion. The fedora came to symbolize gangsters (worn by Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Bugsy Siegal) and hardboiled detectives […]

    “One Hundred Poets Explained by the Wet Nurse”: Bonus week, Thursday W53Y5

    Crazy title, no? There's an interesting little origin story here. In late 12th century Japan, someone (name lost in the mists of antiquity) came up with the idea of an anthology of 100 classic poems (waka), each by a different poet (Hyakunin isshu, "one hundred people, one poem each". There were a number of versions created, but the best known and perhaps the standard edition was compiled by Fujiwara no Teika, c1200 CE. Several centuries later, an artist named HISHIKAWA Moronobu created […]

    The Rising Sun: Bonus week, Wednesday W53Y5

    If you say the phrase "The Rising Sun", many will think of it; but if you say "there is a house in New Orleans...", probably even more people will have the association. Three years ago, I wrote about the song made famous by a British rock band in in the 1960s, in the context of a 19th-century print of a place called The Rising Sun Hotel, probably in the Philadelphia area. Today, I'm sharing a print entitled "The Rising Sun" which is described as being in New Orleans. Is this intended to […]

    I’ve looked at the from both sides now: Thursday W52Y5

    When it's time to write a post and I don't have a particular artwork or artist or theme in mind, I have a random art picker that pulls works from my extensive digital image collection. If something that it picks resonates for me at that moment, then I use that--or sometimes it will make me think of something else, but either way, I have my inspiration for the day. Today it chose a print from the contemporary French print artist Jean-Michel Mathieux-Marie, whom I've shown before. This artist […]

If you enjoy fantasy or speculative fiction, it's a good story, and is the first in a series of 6 novels about the […]

    A smorgasbord of lions: Thursday W49Y5

    [A reminder: my posts often have interesting links in them--today there are several really spectacular one. You will only be able to see and click these links from the Wordpress site which is the main site for this blog. Secondary sites like Instagram, Bluesky, Mastodon, Facebook, Tumbler and Threads can't receive the links from the autopost.] I've come across several images of lions recently, from contexts as varied as relief sculpture on a wall to the Cowardly Lion in Oz. I decided to make […]

    🎵Popocatepetl🎵: Monday W49Y5

    Margaret Burroughs was one of the great mid 20th century African-American artists. Like John Biggers, some of her work was about simple representation--getting pictures of black people living life, doing ordinary things, into the world.. Some of her work had potent symbolism, too. Today's image, though, neither representation nor symbolism. It is from her days learning how to make linocuts. During the McCarthy era, she was suspected of "Anti-American activities", so she found it more […]

    The Cathedral at Amiens: Saturday W48Y5

    The Gothic cathedral of Amiens is enormous--the largest by volume in all of France. The builders wanted a lot of light, so they build big to have lots of windows. It's more than double the volume of Notre Dame de Paris. It was originally constructed between 1220 and 1270, which apparently was. fairly quick construction for the time. Amiens is due north of Paris, a little less than halfway between Paris and the Belgian border. The print shows the west side of the cathedral. The […]

    “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Tuesday W48Y5

    Well, today's image can be compared to the summer days we've been having lately. This lovely print shows a beautiful sunlit day in a big open grassy field dotted with little white wildflowers (white clover?). There are a few clouds in the sky and I am imagining a still, hot, sunny day. Another of our lovely seasonal renderings, in this case by the very talented Grietje Postma, who seems to specialize in these beautiful nature pictures with no people and little to no sign of human existence […]

    Beautiful abstraction: Wednesday W46Y5

    Around a year ago, I was attending a show at a local arts center. During intermission, I wandered around the lobby and found an exhibit featuring local artists. There was one artist in particular whose work I found pleasing. It was very abstract, which is not usually my jam, but some of the images were beautiful patterns. Leslie Ann Eliet is a painter and a printmaker, and creates artist's books. The piece I saw that really resonated for me was an accordion fold artist's book. I'll share with […]

    Lino printing plate vs. proof on scrap paper.
    It should get blacker during the next passes. But for now I will stop here since I need to do my chores too. 😂
    I could do the cutting all day long, it's so fun and relaxing. I'm happy with the result.
    I wonder if I should keep the plate as it is or clean it though. I think I will print tomorrow.
    Still wondering how many prints I should make.
