I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in
My shadow.

PA, Harrisburg PA, State Capitol Complex.
I really wish that there was a person walking through this scene!
Take a turn and see his smile
Made of nothing but loneliness
Just take a walk and be a friend
To the shadow man...
It's been a long time since WALL-E saw his shadow, because the sun has not been seen for more than a few hours since October 2010!
Day 146 of 365 : May 28, 2011
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.
I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.
From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.

This was a shadow on my conservatory wall. I drove the level up and adjusted the contrast and brightness to get this effect
"WHAT?!" you ask. "YU-GI-OH??!?!? But I thought you were cool!"
Wait, wait, hear me out! Sometimes there can be something cool in, uh... well, yeah. Yu-Gi-Oh started out as a ripoff of Magic: The Gathering, and it does have occasional moments of good art... most of which has totally passed me by, since the SHadow Ghoul is one of about two or three cool monsters I actually know. I saw this little guy for sale years ago, and picked it up because it's a five-legged multi-eyed undead Lovecraft monster. You complaining about that? I've since looked up the card, and found that it gets stronger whenever an ally dies - so it eats their corpses, I guess?
Cool monster.

The other sides of me that are rarely seen but are often thought about, and goals of what I want to be always walk with me wherever I go.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth
