Created by Antonio and Julia Smith-Plata (family project) from Payson, AZ
Title: Arizona Centennial Celebration
Participants: Antonio Smith-Plata (age 9) and Julia Smith-Plata (age 6) designed and created the panel – I am their Nana (Pamela Smith) -- I provided the supplies for the project, contacted Sue Coccia for permission to use her art and paid the fee.
Dream Theme: Conservation (Nature, animals, etc)
Materials and Techniques Used:
With permission from Sue Coccia -- colored some of her art panels with watercolor pencils. Scanned them into the computer and printed them onto fabric. Used steam a seam 2 to fuse the pictures onto a background fabric. Added a border. Quilted the project. Bound the edge with yarn fibers.
What is your artwork about?
We are Antonio (age 9) and Julia (age (6). We made a quilt panel with our cousins and our Nana two years ago. Now that we are older we wanted to try to do one by ourselves – next year is the Arizona centennial – wit permission we used Sue Coccia art pages with a southwest theme for our quilt. The border is a specially designed Arizona centennial fabric. We hope our quilt is chosen to be shown in Phoenix as we live there. We have done some sewing before and wanted to try a quilt. It was fun and we like how it turned out. We plan to do another one for ourselves.

Italy. Florence (Firenze)
Piazza della Signoria.
Piazza della Signoria is an L-shaped square in front of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. It was named after the Palazzo della Signoria, also called Palazzo Vecchio. It is the focal point of the origin and of the history of the Florentine Republic and still maintains its reputation as the political hub of the city. It is the meeting place of Florentines as well as the numerous tourists, located near Ponte Vecchio and Piazza del Duomo and gateway to Uffizi Gallery.

- Fountain of Neptune (Fontana di Nettuno) -
Because of its size, the statue of Neptune is called “il Gigante” (the Giant), or “al Żigànt” in Bolognese dialect. It was built in 1566 according to the inscription at the base of the fountain, “to serve the people”; namely, to beautify the Piazza Maggiore because it was a stop on the route between the Archiginnasio and the Palazzo del Comune. Freshly elected Cardinal Carlo Borromeo was responsible for wanting the Piazza Maggiore improvements; the work was meant to symbolize the happy rule of Pope Pius IV, his maternal uncle.
A young Flemish man, Jean de Boulogne, was called in from Douai to handle the undertaking. Known as Giambologna, he was eager to prove himself after having just lost the competition for the Fontana del Nettuno in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence.
An entire city block was razed to create the fountain, with both houses and shops paying the price. The statue of the god Neptune was placed at the exact point where the cardo and the decumanus – the proto-typical main streets of a Roman city - intersected. The fountain was supplied with water piped in from an ancient underground cistern and a spring found below a convent.
It is said that Giambologna wanted to fashion Neptune with larger genitalia but naturally met with opposition from the Church. However, the sculptor would not be swayed: he designed the statue so that from a particular angle the thumb of the outstretched left hand lines up with the groin area, making it look like an erect penis. According to the prelates, the women of Bologna were so disturbed by the sight that the Church had to put bronze pants on the statue. Actually, the entire fountain has a strongly erotic quality: just take a look at the voluptuous nymphs spraying their breasts with water!

Title: Collaborative Surrealist Night Sky Inspired by Joan Miro
Theme: Your Night Sky, Astronomy
Materials and techniques: Students used many materials and skills for this project...Materials included chalk pastels, oil pastel, and watercolor paint. Students learned how to blend chalk pastels, how to create a resist using oil pastels and watercolor paint, drawing using simple lines and shapes, as well as cutting and gluing.
Did you enjoy this project? Yes, this project evolved a great deal from conception to the completed compositions. It was great to see students so young take abstract ideas and wrap their minds around it!
About: After learning about the term astronomy, second grade students looked at the artwork of Joan Miro and spotted astronomical details in his abstract paintings, such as the moon, and stars. Next, second grade students worked in small groups to create an abstract piece of art that represents the art of Joan Miro, ensuring elements related to Miro such as colorful moons and simple linear stars were visible in the composition. They also worked together to create people and animals in Miro's abstract surrealist style.

I create bodies of work that explore subjects such as gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing processes ranging from directorial to anthropological, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés associated with masculinity and femininity. A sampling of recent subjects include Girls Girls Girls (the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band), Tazzie Colomb (the world's longest competing female bodybuilder), and LACTIC Incorporated (an avant-garde clothing brand that takes the detritus of corporate life and reinterprets it into one-of-a-kind structural garments that challenge the polarization of gender).
With my current project "Life is Drag", I am documenting the most singular and innovative performers of the currently exploding alt-drag and neo-burlesque scenes. I am 3 years into this project and have so far made 250+ portraits, created in my Brooklyn studio as well as during residencies - in 2021 in New York City (The Cell Theater, Bushwig) and in Pittsburgh (The Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Blue Moon Bar, Bloomfield Garden Club), and in 2020 in New England (3S Artspace).
Over the course of my 2 month Wave Pool residency, I worked with 25 performers - including members of Cincinnati based ODD Presents drag haus and Smoke & Queers burlesque troupe, as well as with other performers from the tri-state area.
The residency also included an exhibition featuring this ever-growing archive, as well as multiple live performance events. These photos are from the closing reception at Wave Pool on April 30th, 2022, featuring performances by:
- Kiara Chimera (host)
- Stixen Stones
- Vanta Black
- Honey Stix-Chimera
- Montana Ba Nana
- Tara Newone
- Clinica Deprecious
- Calamity Addams
"Life is Drag" was the 2022 Vance-Waddell Residency, and as a part of that I selected a Cindy Sherman photograph and Janine Antoni sculpture from the Vance-Waddell collection to inform and expand on the installation for this project.

Peters Valley 44th Annual Fine Craft Fair
I had a really hard time deciding whether or not to go on Saturday. I knew I wanted to, but I also knew that I had taken 5 days off from work to get some projects done at home and so far, this being Day 4, I had done nothing. I also had a soccer game to go to. I decided to go anyway (no work got done in 5 days, I made it to the last half of the second half of the game) and I did not regret going. This is an amazing show and I could have spent more time there if I didn't have to run off to soccer.
We stood and watched the entire process involved in creating a hand marbled silk scarf using liquid paints
floating on a thickened transparent fluid bath. Once the paint colors were selected and applied to the water bath,
the pattern effects were created using a hand held stylus. The plain silk scarf was then carefully laid over the
paint pattern in the bath, transferring the design to the silk. The process is called Ebru or Turkish Marbling. The only disappointing thing was once the finished scarf came out of the bath, it was rinsed and then put right into a plastic bag, so we didn't really get to see the final result. It was interesting to watch though!
We will pull no punches nor silly puns, and put together a poster for a boxing event, for the second tutorial exploring the complete vintage designer’s kit.
The process will have us explore the customization abilities of the bundle’s typefaces, layout ideas to accommodate the long swashes and tall capital letters, and weathering tips and tricks.

This is the Three Dots and a Dash, a classic tiki cocktail created by Don the Beachcomber in the 1940's during World War II. The name comes from the morse code for the letter "V" which stands for victory. Tiki drinks sometimes get a bad rap as being a mindless mix of rum, fruit juice, and sugar. Three Dots and a Dash certainly has all of those things, but it's not mindless at all. It features two key ingredients that take it from a rum fruit salad to a balanced caribbean extravaganza.
The first is Allspice Dram. We often think of winter baking spices like allspice and nutmeg as being European, but the reality is many are from the Caribbean and Central America. Donn Beach knew this which is why he included allspice dram from Jamaica. The second part was using honey, which helps build a connection between the fruit, rum and spice. The rum foundation is built on rhum agricole for a distinct grassy funk. Three Dots and a Dash isn't just an excuse to drink rum and fruit juice, but it's a tour through the Caribbean from Martinique, to Jamaican, to Barbados and beyond.
1 oz rhum agricole
1 oz aged Barbados rum
1 oz fresh lime juice (see note)
0.5 oz dry curaçao (see note)
0.5 oz falernum
1 tsp oz Allspice Dram
0.5 oz honey syrup (Combine honey and warm water at a 2:1 ratio)
3 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine all of the ingredients into a shaker tin. Add ice and shake vigorously until arctic cold. Strain into an ice filled chilled footed pilsner, tiki mug or collins glass. Garnish with three cherries to represent the three dots and one pineapple frond or chunk to represent the dash.
Note: This an adapted recipe from Paul McGee. The original recipe uses orange juice, but I feel that dry curaçao works better instead. To make the original version, substitute 0.5 oz orange juice for the dry curaçao and decrease the lime juice by 0.25 oz.

1919 Henry Lytton as the Duke of Plaza Toro in the Gondoliers.
Henry Lytton was born in Kensington, London, England on 3rd Jan 1865 and died in London on 15th Aug 1936.
He first sang in the D’Oyly Carte Co. as part of the chorus in 1884, but under the name of ‘Henri’. By the time he retired in 1934 he was principal comedian of the Co.
In May 1931 the car he was driving crashed and although he was badly injured his passenger, leading contralto Bertha Lewis, died.
He was knighted in 1930 for his G & S achievements – the only person to be so honoured.
He created the role of the Earl of Essex in Edward German's opera 'Merrie England' at the Savoy Theatre on 2nd April 1902
Created this Stiletto cake as a surprise for a 40th birthday. The cake was a total surprise and she sent me the nicest letter afterward. She loves cherries and that's the reason for the cherries all over the shoe and the large oversized cherry on the side which is RTK. The cake itself was chocolate with peanut butter icing.
My business is to create. It doesn't even matter what it is. All I know is if you don't figure out that something, you'll just stay ordinary. And it doesn't matter if its a work of art, or a taco, or a pair of socks. Just create something new and there it is, and it's you, out in the world, outside of you. And you can look at it, or hear it, or read it, or feel it, and you know a little bit more about you. A little more than anyone else does.
-P.S. I love you.
All of you flikr users can probably understand why this quote stood out to me. I was watching the movie for the millionth time and I stopped and thought about it, paused the DVD, and went and wrote it down. It inspired me. :)
Okay, you know how on the internet you can see those crazy awesome pictures of professionals who do amazing chalk drawings on random streets? Maybe that's just me. I don't know, but lets give those people a round of applause because in my opinion chalk is evil. I don't know, just the feeling of the chalk scraping against the sidewalk is the worst. Plus it is all powdery so the wind kept blowing away my drawings. grr. But after much frustration and a little blood (I sorta scraped my knuckle on the concrete instead of the chalk. ouch), I finally got this shot. I love it. It's probably not even that good but I don't care. You know when you work really hard on something and no matter what it looks like you just love it? I don't know, I guess since I went through so much frustration and chalk to get this, not to mention the fact that I was actually inspired for once, I'm just really happy with it. So don't judge me. =P
It is a BEAUTIFUL day!:) I can't stand not being outside right now. I hope all of you have a great day!!
A bunch more in comments, btw.
p.s. I went to the orthodontist today and got the obnoxious blue off of my braces! Now they are slightly less unattractive. :)
Rotterdam, Europort en derde Maasvlakte (under construction)
Creation
It was created in the 1960s by reclaiming land from the North Sea through dykes and sand suppletion. The sand for the suppletion was largely taken from the North Sea and the Lake of Oostvoorne. This lake was created by the construction of the Maasvlakte. Fossils were (and can still be) found in the sand.
Before the completion of the Maasvlakte it was a sandbank which was hazardous to shipping.
[edit] Sections
[edit] Bulk Handeling
In 1973 EMO[1] started as first company at Maasvlakte, they are the biggest bulk terminal in western Europe located at the Mississippi-haven. In 1989 Frans Swarttouw start building a deepwaterterminal at the Amazonehaven in 1990 it was sold to EMO.
[edit] Container terminals
The Maasvlakte features various big companies and some smaller ones. Maersk, Europe Container Terminals (ECT) [a member of the Hutchison Port Holdings group (HPH)] and Euromax are three big container terminals located here. They can all accommodate the world's largest ships.
[edit] Distribution centers
A special section has been reserved for big distribution centres, the Rotterdam Distribution Centre. The biggest are by the Reebok, DHL and Kloosterboer[2] companies. The Reebok Distribution Centre takes care of the distribution of shoes and apparel for entire Europe. Kloosterboer stores mostly fries from the nearby Farm Frites company.
[edit] Slufter
On one side of the Maasvlakte is the Slufter.[3] Inside the Slufter, a very deep pit shielded from the surrounding areas, toxic waste and polluted sand is stored. When it is filled it will be covered and left there. It was expected to be fully filled around the year 2000, but by now it is only about 50% filled.
[edit] Power plant
A power plant located in the area is run by the E.ON company.
[edit] Dutch Customs
Also a big office of the Dutch Customs is on the Maasvlakte. This is a special office as it incorporates a special X-ray container scan.

Satellite photo of the Port of Rotterdam
The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, located in the city of Rotterdam, South Holland, the Netherlands. From 1962 until 2004 it was the world's busiest port, now overtaken by first Shanghai and then Singapore. In 2009, Rotterdam was the world's tenth-largest container port in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) handled (2008: ninth, 2006: sixth).
Covering 105 square kilometers (40.5 sq mi), the port of Rotterdam now stretches over a distance of 40 kilometers (25 mi). It consists of the city center's historic harbor area, including Delfshaven; the Maashaven/Rijnhaven/Feijenoord complex; the harbours around Nieuw-Mathenesse; Waalhaven; Vondelingenplaat; Eemhaven; Botlek; Europoort, situated along the Calandkanaal, Nieuwe Waterweg and Scheur (the latter two being continuations of the Nieuwe Maas); and the reclaimed Maasvlakte area, which projects into the North Sea.

Stalker's team take full advantage of the lethal obstacle cast by the Dark Knight and bolt through the tunnel!
Stalker: Hit any Cobras hard and quiet-like! Silent weapons! We don't wanna bring any more attention to ourselves!
Stalker clenches his jaw as his words and the frantic footsteps of his team echo through the tunnel, plainly betraying the intention behind his order. Moments later, Jinx, at the front of the team, hurls herself flat against the wall and signals for silence to her colleagues. The team joins her as she peers around a turn in the tunnel. The others see her look for a minute, then return her attention to the Joes.
Jinx: Stalker was right. We found the communication terminal. It looks small time. There's a pair of Sand Vipers and a Tele Viper and that's it, and they are lost in a world of communication hell. That big ass Devastator
guy outside must be interfering with the signals.
Batman shakes his head.
Batman: It's part of my netting. I've got something else that should scramble their signals even more.
Batman reaches once more into his bat-utility belt, past the bat-shark-repellent and pulls out a pen-like device.
Batman: This will do the trick.
Stalker: Ok, let's take them out quiet and fast. Go!
The team swarms the already panicked Cobras as Batman activates his device! The Cobra computer console displays nothing but static and sparks burst from the helmet of the Tele-Viper as the Joes take the Cobra troopers our with expert precision!

This pop-up dinner party, hosted in a unique, non-traditional location, embodies The Mash. In each city we visit, we bring together some of our favorite people to create a memorable meal and moment. Our partner for the tour is the incomparable, members-only, Dinner Lab, whom we first met in New Orleans, last year. For this year's Mash, Dinner Lab is releasing half of each Slow Supper's seats to the public. Brooklyn Brewery is excited to share Dinner Lab's unique dining experiences with our Mash cities.
The curated evening brings people together around a common table to share cuisine crafted by Brooklyn Brewery Chef Andrew Gerson in collaboration with Dinner Lab Chefs paired with Brooklyn beer styles both familiar and rare.
A portion of the proceeds benefits Slow Food Chicago.
Brooklyn Brewery Chef, Andrew Gerson, brings to the table ten years of culinary experience as a cook, educator and activist. As a graduate of the University of Gastronomic Sciences (Pollenzo, Italy) and an active member of Slow Food, Andrew demonstrates and represents Brewmaster Garrett Oliver's philosphoy on beer and food. Andrew is currently travelling his way around the States, collaborating with some of the country’s most innovative chefs, like Marcus Samuelson (NYC), Chris Sheppard of Houston’s Underbelly, from Sea Change in Minneapolis Jamie Malone, and Paco Roberts of NOLA’s Dinner Lab. During The Mash tour, Andrew has picked up new culinary ideas and shared his own from Stockholm to Las Vegas and everywhere in between, bringing you farm-to-table cuisine steeped in regional flavors, with a dash of Brooklyn fortitude sprinkled in for good measure.
Born and raised in Chicago, Chef Daniel Espinoza is now Dinner Lab’s Chef de Cuisine in his hometown. Growing up, Chef spent time giving back to the community tutoring middle schoolers in Sembrando El Futuro (SELF) program, and volunteering as a caseworker for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. After earning his culinary arts degree at Kendall College, Chef Daniel worked at Carmichael’s Chicago Steak House. It wasn’t long before Chef started seeing stars--Michelin stars, that is: in addition to his time at Mexique in Chicago, Chef traveled to France and completed a stagiaire at Bistro des Saveurs Castres. Chef Daniel is happy to be back on his old stomping grounds with Dinner Lab.
Dinner Lab is a membership-based social dining experiment that unites undiscovered chefs with adventurous diners who are looking for something different from the traditional restaurant experience. Whether it happens on the roof of an abandoned building, the floor of a paper mill, or inside a motorcycle dealership, we believe that good people, good food and good drink are the only elements paramount to a memorable meal.

I have been having a lot of people tell me I should try to make money with art so I will go against my better judgment and attempt that. My wife told me I have to force myself to do it. So this picture is kind of me saying something like that. I also picked this area to shoot the picture because of the no toys here line. TOYS are people who tag over other people's work in the graffiti subculture. Thanks to FATAL for fake painting
