T'sark Tarmin is the last in a long line of demon banishers. He spends his days wandering all throughout Roawia in search of demons in need of banishing and assisting people wherever and whenever he can with their demon-related problems.
Unfortunately, the magical practices essential for carrying out his line of work are banned under Roawian law. As a result of this, he is forced to live the life of an outlaw in order to help the people of Roawia, whilst their rulers look the other way, unable and unwilling to help.
Here, we find T'sark outside an old abandoned mine, about to partake in some "recreational" demon banishment. It helps him unwind after a long day's... demon banishing.

I know you've been waiting!
I'm going to kick off this album with this intro video...
(Taken on January 02 2020 but first in the series as an intro).
It was a meaningful holiday so I'll be sharing.
More photos and videos to be uploaded this coming weekend.
I wanted to upload a while back but I had to up my video editing skills on my own. I spent more time figuring out how to use the software and how to do things. Now that I know once and for all I should be able to get things done faster. At this stage, this is all being done on a laptop, not a PC that is geared for video production. Video encoding and exportation take AGES.........
My parents were in Sydney for another week. Then, there was Australia Day. Then, I got sick. Then, there was the switch to the NBN and the delay in receiving the modem.
Generally, upload speeds are much lower than download speeds but I'm hoping that with NBN there will be a slight improvement. I'll get all the photos up and then one video at a time... There are 28 videos in this album........................
All my videos are less the 1 GB in size and less than 3 minutes in length - limitation imposed by Flickr. Quality on all videos ranges from 43% to 76% to adhere to the limitation. What you'll see on your screen will be less than that because technically videos get reformatted on online platforms for better management. What you'll experience will not do justice to what you can experience on a 4K TV with content being projected at 100% quality from a computer. Bear in mind that these short videos can EASILY be up to 8 GB or more. And of course what you'll experience on your screen will never be the same as to what you can experience in real life.

Though living in poverty themselves, the Butterfly project members are introduced to some child-headed households and this boy was one of those. It is important for children living in hardship to realise that there are others worse off.
These photographs are from the early days of the Butterfly Project, some even before we recruited young people onto the project. We believe in empowering young people to decide their own futures, by bringing hope and developing creativity and problem-solving amongst those most capable. We are based in the Acholi Quarter, Kireka, one of the most deprived areas of Kampala, Uganda. For more information or if you wish to send a donation to the Centre or an individual child (such as a sponsorship), then our web-site is at www.socialenterpriseafrica.org.

Reflection V
--
As introduction, let me offer words from the essay, “Better Speak,” by Hank Willis Thomas:
… I encountered Audre Lorde’s “Litany for Survival.” The last few lines are emblazoned on my soul:
and when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid
So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive.
“Better to speak!” echoes in my mind whenever I feel like shriveling up and hiding in the corner rather than being exposed or critiqued. There is sheer audacity required to write words for a broader audience, even more to get up and read those words aloud. I feel the same is true for contemporary visual artists. To speak is almost to say “I know,” but in most cases artists are speaking about things they don’t know, or are still in the process of knowing. I feel like poetry is at its best when it speaks to the process of knowing, dangling on your heart right before it gets to your mind.
There is sheer audacity required to put one’s work—words or marks—out for view and review. What the artist makes reveals that very process of unearthing some glimmer of knowledge or understanding. Sometimes that view appears sublime. Other times it reveals a raw wound.
Rooted and Unmoored presents a range of views in the consideration of place. The process began during a residency at
Sitka Center for Art & Ecology, near Otis on the Oregon Coast. While there I immersed myself in that physical place, a landscape
not dissimilar to Grays Harbor, which is the place that I call home. For six weeks I found myself uprooted yet grounded, and shaped ideas that reflected the view around me—from the cathedral of spruce forest to the dappled greens of an alder grove to the infinite shades of blue and gray reflected by river and ocean.
After returning home I continued to look with fresh eyes, in order to translate the familiar into visual language. A favorite walk takes me to the confluence of the Hoquiam River and the Chehalis, and turning west reveals the Harbor’s wide mouth, attuned to the sky. This horizon line, and the space above and below, with its shapes, colors, and textures, provides ample inspiration.
For me, looking outward required the balance of looking within, to reflect upon one’s internal “place.” This process mined memories, observations, and imaginings that I’d been recording in written form over the years. It also took into consideration the deep influence that reading holds over me. The Box Poem series develops such narratives.
While I still shy away from the sheer audacity required to speak, I remain compelled to do so. I hope that these works will—
like well-crafted poems—dangle upon your heart, and linger on your mind.

artist statement
In my art-making as a whole—even in its most abstracted forms—a sense of place is often at the root of the work. Perhaps a particular piece evokes the natural beauty of the physical landscape. Perhaps it reflects on the emotional landscape of literature. Or it may speak to a mental place, a state of mind.
I look for form to follow concept. I strive to shape a meaningful experience for the viewer. And my love for the written word means that the textual elements in my work are not secondary. I am drawn to processes and materials that invite touch, that celebrate the tactile qualities that encourage us to connect with one another. This seems a lovely counterweight to our rushed, mass-produced, twittering world.

artist biography
Carrie L. Larson, born in Bellingham, Washington, moved throughout the Northwest during her childhood, until settling in Aberdeen with her family. There she graduated from JM Weatherwax High School, then moved to Walla Walla, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1993 from Whitman College, where she was privileged to study art under Keiko Hara.
Since then she has practiced her calling—most recently in a chaotic home studio—sending her artwork out to juried shows throughout the region, including venues as far away as Chicago and Denver. One of her artist’s books, Red, Revisited, was included in Lark Crafts recent publication, 500 Handmade Books, Volume 2, juried by Julie Chen.
Carrie, along with husband John, currently calls Hoquiam home. There she is quietly active in her community, does freelance work as a color consultant and occasional floral designer, and operates a 5x8 Craftsmen letterpress under the concinnity press imprint. She is also responsible for a well-worn library card and a garden filled mostly with weeds and good intentions.

I am deeply indebted to so many who have supported my path—
To list everyone by name might require several volumes.
For now, let me offer deep gratitude to a handful:
to the college library crew, particularly Valerie, Sarah & Stan;
to Miss Swartz, 3rd grade teacher at Selah Elementary in 1979,
who set the foundation;
to my mentor, Keiko Hara, who challenged her students
while modeling artistic discipline and dedication;
to Ron Westman, gentle critic and epic storyteller;
to Paul Hunter, for graciously allowing me to borrow
his beautiful words for my own ends;
to Artist Trust for resources, and the skills that led to courage;
to the folks of Sitka Center, whose generosity renewed my spirit;
and to those grounding me at home—
my rock, John, and the gray cats, who like to investigate
works in progress.
Thank you.

Special introduction by President Lyndon B. Johnson
The January 25 - January 31, 1964 issue of TV Guide Magazine featured a special insert entitled "America's Long Vigil". It described the period from Nov. 22 to Nov. 25, 1963, when US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The article goes into great detail in describing the television coverage of the historic events of that weekend, and makes for a fascinating read.

In this lively introduction to programming for iOS, kids taught a turtle to move around the computer screen. Using the ideas from Turtle Logo, we worked with the latest version of Apple’s Playgrounds to teach kids to write and reason about sequences of computer commands.
By the end of this two hour Turtle workshop, everyone had built up routines of their own that you can call to produce interesting patterns and designs.
Find out about the next Turtle workshop here: skillsmatter.com/courses/548-the-turtle-in-the-playground...
I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.
I want them to water-ski
across the surface of the poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.
But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.
—Billy Collins
