I made a post on my blog about scrolls in the past on paper and how we scroll now on computers. This image is the illustration for the post. View the entire post at: www.spudart.org/blog/scrolls-past-present/
Writhing wooden scroll work in Redland Chapel. Beautifully done too, not your average stuff. This fragment caught my attention. I think it was because it had been broken at some time. It appeals to me taht there has been damage, but things have always been put right in teh end.
Since the newest photos appear first, you will have to scroll a ways through these photos to see what happened to my Shox as I was wearing them one day. The dangling Shox pod and all.
In the interim, I had tied some wire under the pod to keep it from dragging, but it slipped out from time to time, and then the other side came apart and was dragging the same way.
I wanted a repair that was quick and simple. I thought of adhesives, but I've found that they tend to fail when flexed. So I ended up stringing a wire through the heel knotted under the heel and under the insole inside the shoe.
That kept the heel from flopping under the toebox, but, as you can see from some of these photos, it still shifted side to side. Totally wearable but strange feeling as the pods slipped out one side and then the other.
I realized I could pull the slack of the wire into the sneaker holding the pod and heel more in place, and just bend it over under my foot to keep it in place. I also dispensed with the insoles. I had thought that standing on the knot in the wire would hurt my heels, but I really don't even feel it.
So the first two of these pictures show the modified repair, which so far seems to work. If this doesn't hold up, I'll dispense with the Shox pods and have yet another pair of shoes with negative "lift". I'm sure that will be fine.
Lots of apoxie, it makes the bow slightly heavier but I'll be sanding a fair bit off to get rid of the lumpiness anyway.

It is difficult to capture the beauty of some scrolls, I hope I have done this one justice. It has a great deal of charm.
My favorite Signing Scroll Commission of 2009! I just love flowers, and loved that this bride wanted them so colorful and front and center.
Ink used for the lettering is Dr. Ph. Martin's "Burnt Orange", radiant concentrated watercolors.
Haven't posted a lines/curves photo for a while, so here's a random garden structure that was in Castle Drogo, Cornwall. Not sure what they were used for, but there were plenty of them scattered round the garden looking rather elegant.

Ringdoll was selling scrolls with their concept art of the dolls on them too. I bought the one with K on it (cause duh) but I actually won the other one! Which was awesome, since I don't really win stuff. Both are signed by Huang Shan - the sculptor of Ringdoll. :)

Meine erste Foto-Einzelausstellung präsentiert im Café Berio, Berlin
Vernissage 31. Juli 2018 | Finissage 22. September 2018
In meiner ersten Foto-Einzelausstellung zeigte ich meine Berliner Portraits und einige meiner Vogel-Fotografien; daher der Titel der Ausstellung. In meinem Fotoprojekt wollte ich einmal weg von den sonst bewusst gewählten Orten, an denen man ein Fotoshooting durchführt. Ein Studio oder eine ausgewählte Location haben für die Menschen meist etwas sehr Unpersönliches. Ich wollte dorthin, wo es am authentischsten ist; an die Orte, an denen die Protagonisten (überwiegend Künstler) zu Hause und in ihrem Element sind: auf der Bühne, hinter der Bühne und vor, während und nach einem Auftritt bzw. Event. Ich möchte dem Betrachter Bilder zeigen, die er nicht unbedingt während einer Veranstaltung wahrnimmt und Außenstehende gefangen nehmen, als hätten sie es live miterlebt.
Über 70 Arbeiten präsentierte ich in der Ausstellung; darunter Portraits von Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper und vielen anderen.
Vögel leben auf allen Kontinenten. Sie sind flüchtige, scheue Tiere. Auf meinen Fotografien lassen sie aber eine unwahrscheinliche Nähe zu. Das eigentlich Fremde und in der Natur nicht Sichtbare habe ich in meinen Vogel-Portraits festgehalten.
Mein Motto: "Authentizität ist das Schlüsselwort, das hinter meiner Fotografie steht. Ich ziehe es vor, mehr die menschliche Note zu zeigen und weniger die Retusche."
Die meisten der Exponate sind in der queeren Community entstanden.

My first solo photo exhibition presented at Café Berio, Berlin
Opening July 31, 2018 | Closing September 22, 2018
In my first solo photo exhibition, I showed my Berlin portraits and some of my bird photographs; hence the title of the exhibition. In my photo project, I wanted to get away from the usual deliberately chosen locations for a photo shoot. There is usually something very impersonal about a studio or a selected location for people. I wanted to go where it is most authentic; to the places where the protagonists (mostly artists) are at home and in their element: on stage, backstage and before, during and after a performance or event. I want to show the viewer images that they don't necessarily see during an event and capture outsiders as if they had witnessed it live.
I presented over 70 works in the exhibition, including portraits of Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper and many others.
Birds live on every continent. They are elusive, shy animals. In my photographs, however, they allow an improbable closeness. I have captured what is actually alien and invisible in nature in my bird portraits.
My motto: "Authenticity is the keyword that lies behind my photography. I prefer to show more the human touch and less the retouch."
Most of the exhibits were created in the queer community.
