Note in the top image that the water coming over the barrier is the same height, all the way back in that bay. There must have been a road on the other side of the wall that is being breached, because there were cars over there that are being lifted over the wall. It's like a bathtub which is usually filled to six inches of the brim. Now it is overflowing.

This is a poster made by Cady at U.C. Davis.

 

You really have to think ahead when you do a screen print.

The poster is made with four ink colors:

brown, blue, yellow, black.

But there are five colors in the print:

brown, blue, yellow, tan, black.

The tan is made of two colors- a light one printed over a dark one:

The reddish brown ink is used to print the top area and the arm on the right. Then yellow is printed over both arms. The brown shows through the yellow, making the tan colored arm.

The black ink is brought in last.

 

Cady leaves soon for a year in France as an exchange student at the University of Bordeaux. She has some French from previous trips. This time, she hopes to become fluent.

A glass 'dalle' in a local faceted glass window, as seen from the outside.

The molten glass is poured into a mold and flipped out onto a surface that produces the faint grid pattern visible here. Don't know what causes the creases* and other marks but I really love this texture.

If you can't see the grid pattern, go to the smaller image in the photostream. It is easier to discern there.

 

Tech note-

I made the epoxy concrete window panals for a big job by Donald Drury in San Francisco. In an earlier job, I cut hundreds of dalles with a diamond saw and chipped them. This one is sawn on the top and right side; the left side and the bottom were left as they came from the box. The untrained viewer can see the difference in the light around the edges when looking at the window from inside. It produces an inconsistant effect on the eyes. That's a no-no.

 

___

* - it may be that the creases develop as the piece cools and shrinks.

Usually, chocolate is added by the customer, after the foam design is done in white against the medium tone of the coffee.

Today, Mona added the dark chocolate herself, to increase the contrast with the white design.

She dusted the chocolate over the coffee- that is, before the foam was added. Then the design was drawn on the fly with the stream of foam itself.

Geo's photo at Thanksgiving, placed in Facebook.

His comment: "My brother and dad line up for their thanksgiving body scan."

  

___

Tech note-

- yes this photo is a joke, but...

- i heard one news piece- only one- that said that body scanners can come with sensitivity filters that fade out the body and leave only what they are looking for. if so, why are we talking about this? where are these machines? is this a slow news week?

___

- fact is, Photoshop, has sensitivity filters right now:

- it can take an image from a body scanner and fade out the body and show only the bomb. this is a no brainer.

Here is the canvas mount of "Painting in Greys".

 

___

- as the painting progresses, the brown paper tape gets covered with excess paint from the image. at the end, the roughed up tape is either removed or covered with pretty new tape like this.

- the tape is not pressure-sensitive, which cannot handle anything wet. this is the old-fashioned tape, which is coated with a water-based glue. that allows it to be used to glue down damp paper, which will dry and stretch tight, the way we like it.

- the stretcher is assembled with white glue, using a biscuit cutter and biscuits. ( this is a power tool, not for pastry. maybe technically called a biscuit jointer, but Norm Abrams calls it a biscuit cutter.)

- the cotton canvas is regular 8 ounce duck.

I just got word that Developer Technote 31 has disappeared off Apple's site and so too does the final relic of Apple's younger days of obtuse weirdness and pirate flags and interbreeding bovines and canines.

and

___

- in my book, this painting is correctly framed with a flush frame that reveals all of the edges of the image. If it had been frame with the usual, overlapping frame, it would have had wood stripping added around the edge first. the idea is that the added wood becomes the part that is lapped by the standard frame- not the edges of the painting, itself.

- and i'm not just preventing the overlap of the image- i mean to SHOW the edge: how the canvas and the paint 'arrive' at the edge. this is a natural border that is a pleasure to see.

     

______

There is also a version of this design on stretched canvas layers about 14 inches square. It was made as a prototype for the large piece, but it stands on its own feet. It is presently (Sept. 12, 2005) damaged with heat bubbles; may have to be redone.

Detail for my larger painting of La Salute-

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

- the only water based paint i remembered was the Vinivil. it is discussed below.

- but i just documented the Colomba and it says on the back that it was painted with casein tempera. that's got to be accurate. so, the larger La Salute painting could be either one.*

- Vinavil- a poly(vinyl acetate) resin, combined with pigment in jars for artists in Italy. www.vinavil.net/home_english.html

- i had been mixing pigments in powder form with polymer medium back at home. manufactured acrylic colors were not yet available.

- the painting probably received a coating of polymer to protect it after we got back to Boston.

- the color has held up very well.

- photography note: my effort to shoot this painting with a digital camera in grey light resulted in too rich color. the image had to be cooled in Photoshop, using a -20 saturation reduction with no other changes.

 

___

* - the small La Salute is oil on sized paper.

 

Page 2 of 2.

The canvas on these two pages is Utrecht DW linen from Belgium. I use the double weave canvas for larger works and on smaller canvasses when the weave will be an element in the painting. As seen here, in this unfinished piece, the paint is applied as a wash, so that it settles into the weave to emphasize it.

 

___

Tech note-

- the mark near the facing corner is a hole from a nail.

- the stretcher was nailed down while the canvas was prepared to receive paint. this process can shrink the canvas so severely that the stretcher torques up and breaks.

- when the balance is struck just right, you get a "bung-bung" canvas that rings when you tap it. that's painter heaven.

 

- this wasn't the case, here, but this torque is most likely to happen when a canvas is sized with water-based rabbit skin glue- the traditional method.

Next to the framing work on the high color painting is the, "ugly grey painting", which is winding down.

 

___

The grey painting was started in 1995 and 6. "Ugly grey pt" was a file name, early on.

It pulled away from the overall grey, when the deep red and amber colors and blues came in, but the name stuck.

Stacey felt sorry for the painting when she heard that, but it won't really have a title.

Finished piece: www.flickr.com/photos/doneastwest/7659707636/in/set-72157...

 

___

- the high color painting is getting a special frame that hides an undesired, rounded-off, edge in the commercial stretcher. I wanted the usual pretty sharp turn to the side, so the frame reaches out across the too-wide edge, revealing only the flat surface and the true edges of the image.

- normally, i make my own stretchers, but this one was a linen canvas with a good proportion and was very tightly stretched, yielding the satisfying "bung-bung" when you tap it- the painter's joy *.

-but it had that bad edge which is rounded on a one inch radius; you couldn't be sure where the painting ended. i care about the edges a lot. ( i also caution that my paintings not be protected with the usual frames that overlap the edges of the image. ** )

- so the top edge of the frame reaches in across the rounding to cover it, and shows the actual edge of the image.

- having only seen this photograph, Virginia likes this painting alot. but she is a painter.

- i figured that- even with the color- it would be unpleasant for people to look at it. ( that doesn't stop me from showing it next year, in September. )

___

* BUNG-BUNG:

www.flickr.com/photos/doneastwest/8395406689/in/set-72157...

___

** - you see that done all the time, but there is no need to cover the edges of a painting, just to hold it in the frame.

- what you do instead is tack wood stripping around the edge of the work. the added wood becomes the part of the surface that is overlapped by the frame.

- by the way, it is not just a matter of not covering the edges of the painted area: it is good- in my case- to SHOW the edges. how the canvas and paint meets the edge is important: the edge always looks different from the rest of the painting. it is a natural border that is a pleasure to see.

 

- another point is that when frames overlap the image, and the painting is cut out of the frame during a theft, that means that a quarter inch of the painting is lost all around.

- it is not uncommon for a fine painting to have a life of five hundred years.

- so- in broad terms- it is worse to cut a painting than it is to steal it.

- there endeth the lesson.

Colleen sent this picture; turns out it shows the outside of the kichen.

Also, the quonset hut is from George's bunch as well. He said in a IM:

... "it was a structure made of curved metal pipes lashed to straight ones, with a fabric cover over it. we all pitched in and bought it.

i think it was too expensive, it turned out to look rather nasty but it was great at night- it really kept out dust and grunge and while it unfortunately didn't keep out heat during the day, it did retain it nicely at night which helped with the cold."

Tech note-

- this is still frame from video. i will still use the video camera to shoot photos of camera-shy people.

- you give up alot of picture quality but some of my favorite photos came from a "camcorder".

 

- bye the way, do you know why that awkward term, 'camcorder' came about? it is because there is a sound recording made in sinc with the picture.

before the modern era*, home movies were silent.

- for an example of this, remember the home movie scene in the film, "Paris, Texas":

www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70018806&trkid=1...

 

___

* it's a good thing that the dinosaurs' home movies were silent. they were too loud for a camcorder and they didn't have much to say, anyway.

 

Kelly's Mom sent her this photo recently.

What are the little round things on the spokes?

Cool.

I wish I had had them on my first bike.

 

Kelly says they are Spokey Dokes, which slide up and down on the spokes and make a sound like putting cards in the spokes. Never heard of them.

Tech note-

There is a thicker place where the spoke meets the wheel. Looks like these SDs are pushed up on there for the photo; otherwise, I think the top ones would slide down to the hub, as usual.

( More to come on this important subject. )

This picture is in here to show more zip-zooeeeoo color lines.

Note that the trippy red source is different from the other two. It must be that the blue and green are steady beams; the red must be a blinking light.

In any case, now you know what music looks like.

 

This is also a note to Lydia:

Ok, I think I know what is happening. You guys are moving the camera, combining a sort of time exposure which- at some point- includes a flash shot. You get a crisp image of the subject but you also get " time " in it, which creates the Gjon Mili light effects.

Right?

If I have that much right, I'm still confused: the red and green curves match but the blue one doesn't. Maybe an effect of parallax?

See Lydia's answer to the first question in the comment panal below:

 

I checked my camera manual (for the Canon A70). It is called 'night scene mode' but they don't mention the light effects:

"Use this mode to capture human subjects against the backdrop of an evening sky or night scene. The people are illumiinated with light from the flash while the backdrop is captured at a slow shutter speed so that both appear correctly exposed."

See my first three light tests on the next pages:

Josh on the job and the stage.

This is the only known photo of a drummer at a concert. It is normally impossible because they are behind in the dark. A drum stand doesn't help.

Drummers are loud as a protest.

 

The photo was shot with a powerful spotlight and the DrummerCam, which is owned by KOMO in Seattle.

   

( OK, it's a joke but it is almost impossible to photograph drummers. George is a bass player and easy. But he is a drummer as well and I have to get up on the stage to find him with the camera.

 

As for the KOMO joke [ didn't it make you wonder for a second? ], it is based on the fact that there used to be only one zoom lens in the world. The Seattle TV station owned it and they loaned it around the country for things like the Super Bowl. It was five or six feet long. That was your Fact For The Day. )*

 

___

* I found out about this because my Uncle Paul was the account executive for KOMO and gave me a tour of the station when I was a teenager. Color TV was just starting and had flaws that the station took advantage of :

I think it was the color, blue, which always had an unwanted yellow fringe above it. So they rolled up tubes of blue paper in candle holders on the set. On the monitor, they looked like they were lit.

This is Uncle Paul much earlier:

Tech note on this photo- This is how I made video still frames before I could work on video in a computer: the movie was brought up on a TV and stopped and the screen was shot in a dark room with a film camera. The hard way but I like the TV lines in the picture.

I sent George this image to show what I'm up to today.

He answered, "I love this!! Such beautiful work, bless Virginia's heart for starting this wonderful war"…

 

Later in the day, son, Pete, saw this page and said, "Now that's the kind of War I can relate to…"

___

- this is "Painting in Greys", the replacement for the lost original, which was also painted on prepared paper.

- this method of painting was used in Venice, with the paper tape border in the final mount.

- the next step is always to mount the painting on a stretched canvas, which is happening here.

___

- aside from looking good, the initial purpose of the paper tape is to get the paper good and flat: the tape is moistened before applying to damp paper. then it all dries and stretches tight. then- for oil paint- the paper is prepared with rabbit skin glue and white lead, or- nowadays- with many many coats of acrylic gesso.

- the method started as a way to make it easier to carry paintings back from Europe, to be mounted in the States. now, i do it because i like the look of it. it is also removable by conservators.

- gluing paper is tricky. it usually makes a wrinkly mess. YES paste is special- an archival, water based glue that does not wrinkle paper.

- the blue tape protects the canvas edge from the glue coat. the canvas will show around the painting's border.

- here is a canvas-mounted painting, but without the paper tape border:

Shortly after this, Mark "The Red" Harlan and I opened the extremely old

can of Pork Brains in Milk Sauce, that I had volunteered to eat with the spork I had just finished hunting down.

 

It was pretty nasty, so he wimped out and didn't make me eat it. Other lulz were had, and I ended up with a shirt and a partially boxed copy of System 7 with the discs and documentation.

Paint note.

- there is a young painter at Coffeetopia- who has boldly chosen to start in oil.

- i said to her:

Acrylic is good because it dries fast; it is bad because it dries fast.

Oil is good because it dries slow; it is bad because it dries slow.

 

- the benefits of acrylic are easier to see than those of oil (or alkyd resin), but they are often overstated:

- the first painting book that came out for acrylic in the early 1960s had this in the index:

Oil paint- limitations of; decline of.

 

___

- the binder of photos was prepared in Boston for presentation to the Guggenheim Foundation, but I didn't get a fellowship. dern.

___

- the camera is the Canon Powershot A610, which has a flip screen like a video camera. this is good for framing shots of people; also, good for framing a shot from an awkward position.

The Palomar is fulla dibos at the moment.*

Tech note-

What Jeff wants to know has to do with the surfing photos on the wall behind me: What resolution camera do you need to make photos as big as the surf photos without showing the pixels.

This camera is a 5.0 megapixel. The original version of this photo- which was set at high res and low compression- produced a 180 dpi image which was 14 1/2 inches wide. Compressed to 96 dpi, the photo could be 27 inches wide: abit larger than the photos on the wall.

Jeff uses a 35 mm film camera. To get that quality takes 8.0 megs in a digital camera but I think 5.0 might work out just fine for 24 inch photos like the ones on the wall.

Here is a continuous layered rock, split, artificially, in Photoshop.

Then, the left side was shifted up abit.

The upper photo is an actual image of the black and white painting on the presentation wall of the 2003 exhibition. The lower photo is an illusion. The large version of the blue mosaic cartoon was not painted when this image was made. It is the small original version made to look big and placed over the black and white painting in Photoshop.

This was done to show how the 2004 exhibition would look, done for fun and to show to the owner of Coffeetopia when proposing the second show.

Katie Dodd suggested that Devin should stand in the foreground to get the full effect. Devin aggreed, but put up a "What's goin' on?" face for effect.

 

The experiment worked, because we had a firm subject to contrast to the time exposure.

The effect still puzzles me: why the hair across the face is steady when the surrounding hair blurs with the rest of the picture; why the grape vine is steady.

 

Today ( 1.31.06 ), Katie saw this and noted that the blue and the grapes on the left are much closer to the camera than the red wall, and caught more flash, as Devin did.
