“An evolved intellect”
The High Evolutionary, Herbert Edgar Wyndham, meets a like minded friend in Ex Nihilo
Big fan of the F4 retro card gimmick, even more so of the retro Spider-Man cards, and as soon as I saw this guy I knew there was an unfamiliar character I needed to take a deep dive into.
Looking for a digital trade paperback of the Evolutionary Wars (88) if anyone has a suggestion? Not seeing it on Amazon or Marvel’s app.
Very cool sculpt and colors on this guy. Happy to add him to the Cosmic shelf!

All I can really say is that this show was bigger and better than I had ever hoped for. Evolve took on a life of its own and so many of the artists shared their own powerful stories of overcoming whatever life has tossed along their path.
Over 20 photographers, ceramicists and artists were part of this event. Gay, straight, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, Black Latino, White, Armenian, poor, broke, rich, wealthy, HIV positive, HIV negative and even two homeless individuals were all artists in this show. The was a direct representation of what Los Angeles looks like and together we showed why we are the City of Angels
About 400 attended the opening at Art Share-LA in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was a complete success with people coming from as far north as Sacramento as far south as San Diego. New York, Denver and even two folks from Atlanta made the trek to the Evolve opening. I was completely blown away.
Big thanks to all the artists for their beautiful pieces, my family, friends and supporters for continuing to embrace my work through Project KengiKat and Do Something Saturday and to everyone who donated and attended the event I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

History of Peckerwood Garden
John G. Fairey
Thirty years ago I came to Texas to teach first-year design in the school of Architecture at Texas A&M University and in 1971 purchased the land that forms the nucleus of my garden. The site with its clear, spring-fed brook reminded me of "magical places" in South Carolina where I grew up and what began innocently, as a pursuit of a sense of place, fast evolved into a passion. This enthusiasm continues unchecked, and the garden is still evolving on a site that has grown to almost 40 acres and abounds with new projects and purpose.
There are many ways to describe Peckerwood Garden: it is a collection of more than 3,000 plants including many rarities; it is a conservation garden containing examples of numerous threatened species, many of which are no longer found in the wild; it is a laboratory garden testing a wide range of "new" plants and our Mexican discoveries. It is a garden with a mission to encourage other gardeners to see a beauty in landscape that is consistent with our plants and climate; it is a pioneering garden exploring new plants and cultivation methods and aesthetic concepts for other gardeners. It is a garden that looks to the future, not to the past. Yet, most essential, it is my studio, a place where artistic and horticultural research are fused to create an environment that stimulates all of the senses, including the most elusive of all, our sense of time. My background and education as a painter have trained me to see the garden as an ever-changing interaction of texture, color, rhythm, and space; it is a series of rooms constructed with a wide variety of plant material in which trees, shrubs, light, shade, paths, steps, and water create and balance the composition...spaces created are arranged so that when walking, one catches glimpses of other spaces; there is not a beginning or ending but a progressive journey of discovery.
Peckerwood Historical PhotoA tornado destroyed the high canopy of giant, old trees in 1983. In hindsight, the devastation provided the opportunity to explore new directions in the garden that better reflected my ideas about space and to investigate and experiment with new plant material. At this time I was joined in this enterprise by Carl Schoenfeld, and we started researching native plants and their Mexican and Asian counterparts in the garden. The constant pursuit of new plants for the garden design has kept us aware of the need to evolve the garden continuously. With each addition and change, new problems arise to be solved, resulting in the evolution of the garden both visually and conceptually.
Renowned plantsman and native plant explorer, Lynn Lowrey (whose death was a keenly felt loss) introduced me to my first Texas native plant and for 25 years lent me his support and knowledge. It was Lynn who in 1988 invited us to join him on a botanizing trip in the mountains of northern Mexico.
Now veterans of about 100 expeditions to diverse remote regions of Mexico, we are striving to document and conserve a rapidly vanishing uncatalogued matrix of beautiful and uniquely diversified Mexican plants.
Our goal is to provide a cultural bridge between Mexico and the United States and, we hope, raise awareness on both sides of the border about the richness of this horticultural trove and the threat of its irrevocable loss due to overgrazing and other growing economic pressures. We feel strongly about conservation work. In order for these extraordinary plants to be fully appreciated, they must be brought to the attention of the public.
Plant Tag GraveyardThe best way to achieve this is to share plant material and information with other public institutions. Germplasm collected from these Mexican expeditions as well as the results of plant testing in the garden were shared with arboreta and interested plant societies. In the early 1990's, Doctor J.C. Raulston, Director, North Carolina State Arboretum (now J.C. Raulston Arboretum) distributed in one year alone over 9,000 plants grown from seed that we shared with him. The best of these plants are beginning to make their way into the nursery trade and individual gardens. The urgency value of the Mexican plant exploration has been a major factor in motivating me to donate my garden to the people of Texas. It is the beginning of a new level of sharing, both the garden and its new plants, with an ever wider constituency. Energy can now be directed to plant research in collaboration with an expanded group of participating institutions. In this way, I hope, the garden and the program to seek out and test new plants will continue into the next century. In this world of overemphasized technology in which values are often based on the superficial, gardens are a must for the public. They reacquaint us with the natural world, with our individual and shared past; they bring healing, literally and figuratively, to many of our ills.

When we built in 2004, I didn't have a clue what I would do with the landscaping...only that it should be true to its natural surroundings. Since we live on a drumlin left over from the glaciers, it seemed natural to use our abundance of rocks. David has had fun using the hydraulic lift on the tractor to place some of the bigger ones. I like using stumps too and then filling it out with ornamental grasses and a few flowers.

Ciao a tutti i flickeriani questo è un evento molto speciale, motivo d’orgoglio e ci tenevo a condividerlo:
•l’immagine nella locandina è tratta da un mio quadro.
•l’evento che trovate descritto in breve nel testo è curato da me ed altri professionisti dello staff “UniVerso LiPsi” (composto di psicologi, medici e counselor). Insieme condurremo un gruppo di 25 persone dall’Italia in un viaggio esperienziale di 10 giorni in terra d’Argentina nel mese di Novembre
Il 18 Maggio a Roma sarà una serata speciale dove attraverso suggestioni legate ai suoni, ai sapori, alle danze di questa splendida terra verrà descritta l’esperienza proposta in questi luoghi dove è ancora possibile incontrare una natura primeva e incontaminata e conoscere le culture e tradizioni delle antiche popolazioni pre-andine. Un’avventura molto particolare, già alla sua seconda edizione, legata a un modo di intendere il viaggio in una dimensione profonda e personale volta alla riscoperta del proprio benessere …
Per chiunque fosse interessato a partecipare o avere maggiori informazioni tutti i contatti sono nel testo della locandina …
Un abbraccio a tutti,
Laura.
