For The Rogue Players' challenge tonight - "free verse"...
So - I didn't really follow the rules - big shock, eh? The idea was to write the verse down on an object and then to include that object in the picture, along with a credit for the poem.. Well - I could never find a poem that I liked until way after dark, and so, this is going to have to do.. It's a portion of a poem that Vanessa included on her page, in tribute to a great man in her world that had passed on - and I've spent lots of time thinking about it's message... The "dash" refers to the part of our lives between our birth date, and our death date on our tombstones... the "dash"... all the things we do during the days of our lives...
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
From The Dash by Linda Ellis
Please - click this link, and read her moving account of a man who spent his dash the way they should be spent, and her moving tribute to him...
And - see it on black...

Matters of Decay | Paintings by Constance Mallinson
Jun 09, 2012 - Jul 28, 2012
Closing Reception, Jul 28, 2012, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Constance Mallinson uses the traditional genre of landscape painting to suggest a new way of looking at the world. For the last 25 years her large scale oil paintings have consisted of a unique painted "collage" technique in which she constructs panoramic landscapes from thousands of photo derived images via an Old Masters technique. In addition to expanding the traditional single view landscape to incorporate multiple views, perspectives, time frames, and narratives simultaneously, her paintings have dealt with the complex global environmental issues we are now facing. In the past few years, she has used her collage process and technical virtuosity to make large-scale paintings that merge the man-made world and nature literally by constructing figures from images of leaves, twigs, and decaying organic material. They are grotesque meditations on both the mortality of humans and the world in which they live. Her full-figured "nature people" reference both the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, the 16th-century Italian known for paintings in which still life objects are used to form surreal portraits, and famous paintings, such as Edouard Manet’s 1863 seminal painting "Olympia."
In examining her recent paintings created from decaying matter, L.A. Times critic Christopher Knight wrote that "after painting savvy landscapes for more than twenty five years"… the current "imagery suggests the way in which we project ourselves on conceptions of nature, creating the natural world even as we go about assuring its destruction."
Mallinson has had numerous group and solo exhibitions in galleries and institutions ranging from Ace Gallery, Santa Monica Museum, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Angles Gallery, and Pomona College Art Museum. She has been the recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship, City of Los Angeles Artist Grant, and has attended residencies from the Djerassi Foundation to the Santa Fe Art Institute. Her work is represented in the collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Orange County Museum of Art, San Jose Art Museum, Pomona College Art Museum and many private corporations and collections. She has also taught painting and theory at many major universities in California that include UCLA and Claremont Graduate University. In addition, Mallinson's criticism and writing has appeared in many art publications from Art in America to the current internet journal The Times Quotidian. More information on her work can be found at constancemallinson.net/.

The quotation was requested by a colleague who is always kind. I still remember when he agreed to switch classrooms so that I could use his interactive smart board - he thought it was just for a period, I "needed" the room for the rest of the year. He was nice enough to make the change permanent even though it meant was more than a little inconvenience for him. I'll always remember that not so small kindness.

Invincible: Family Matters
By Mark Allen
Invincible: Family Matters, published by Image Comics, 120 pages, $12.95.
Forgive me, I’m just now catching up. I finally picked up the first trade collection of Image Comics’ Invincible. A lot of buzz surrounds this book, the series now having run for over two years. The story revolves around a teenage boy who has inherited his superhero dad’s powers. Nothing new, in and of itself, of course. It’s creator/writer Robert Kirkman’s skill at characterization and plot-crafting that causes this book to be a diamond among the lumps of coal which largely comprise the superhero genre today.
Kirkman’s main character, Mark Grayson, is pretty much your typical high school kid. Well, besides his obvious anticipation of his genetic birthright kicking in. The scene in which this happens is as entertaining (as is Mark’s response) as it is surreal, and something the likes of which I had never seen during over 30 years of comics indulgence. Kirkman also manages to breathe life into Mark’s father, his world’s “iconic” superhero. This is done primarily through a scene in which daddy decides to sit down with Mark and have “the talk”. It’s not what readers expect. At least, not everything they expect. I believe Mark’s mother would be called the “down-to-earth” character. And how! With no super powers, she deals with the dangers associated with her family members’ calling with the solidity of concrete.
Or … does she? This is a character with layers to be pulled back, I believe.
Kirkman’s story of a young man’s desire to follow in his father’s footsteps rings a poignant bell with a big fat hammer of super heroic fun!
Top all of this great characterization and story with stunningly action-oriented pencils and inks by Cory Walker and you’ve got the hit everyone’s been talking about. So, Invincible: Family Matters is recommended for those who enjoy superhero stories with style, as well as substance. Look for it at your local comics shop, online retailers, and auctions.
