calendar journal - mixed media: ink, watercolor, CP, postage stamp
A quick post to share, I've been trying to stay on track with this journal, one dedicated to journaling in calendar format. I've found that preparing the pgs ahead of time really helps with committing to it daily (or at least every couple of days *wink*). For this opening pg. of July, I let the week's holdiays inspire me....
Wishing you & yours a safe [and dry] holiday - we've been getting the tail end of Hurricane Alex all week here in South Texas, fingers crossed it stays dry for tonites fireworks!
Be well....

Born to a station master in Tulln, Austria, Egon Schiele grew up drawing trains and exploring paintings. He later became Gustav Klimt’s protégé and was exposed to the works of Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch during his time with Klimt. Schiele's early works are influenced by the art nouveau movement and the Vienna Secession style. Later his artworks diverged to explore the subject matter of human forms and bodies, sometimes, in sexually explicit and erotic manners. His works also explored the depth of emotions and human psychology. Schiele was an eminent figure in the Expressionism movement and produced more than 3,000 pieces of art. His "Kneeling Nude with Raised Hands (1910)" is regarded as one of the most important nude pieces of the 20th century. We’ve brought some of Schiele’s timeless vintage public domain line art drawings and paintings for you to enjoy in high resolution printable quality and download under the CC0 license.

Puttering with Photoshop. Winter is already getting long.
Was reading the Minolta System Handbook by Joseph D. Cooper, published in 1973. I scanned a line drawing of MInolta's 16mm fisheye lens for the SRT series of their 35mm SLRs. Was impressed with the number and variety of lens elements needed to produce this optic (including internal color filters for B/W photography).
Its fascinating to me to consider all the precision metalworking and glass-making needed to create quality photographic optics. Consider this my small tribute to the mechanical, optical and manufacturing engineers of Minolta back in the day.

worthy lady,
impose your pleasure
to thou ignorant valentine.
My soul loved thy heart,
and would desire
thy company.

This was my first attempt at tangling over some background colour.
I'm such an avid recycler, that when I saw the pile of pencil lead and shavings piling up after sharpening my sons water colour pencils, I couldn't let them go to waste. I salvaged enough of the shavings to make a few backgrounds, more to follow.
Desperate honesty hides my oath,
my beloved friend.
Let time deliver her design.
What knowledge would your spirit need

If you walk through the souks of Marrakech you'll see thousands and thousands of colourful Moroccan slippers all lined up one after another. This pattern is a tribute to that sight.
The work is best viewed large so you can see some details.
And you can also have a look at my other two Moroccan inspired patterns: Moroccan Night & Moroccan Landmarks or at my pattern inspirations and photo's from Morocco.

as much as I wax lyrical about the virtues of our local community pubs and what not .
we was actually turned away from this one after leaving the Royal seven stars hotel.
not due to our raucous behaviour!
but due to the fact it was FULL.
( boxing match by all accounts)
glum faced we rambled onwards and upwards.
