Sorry I never got around to doing your other character before I left. I hope this is a good parting gift!
I was in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago installing ‘Thought…Process’ a show with Malin Gabriella Nordin at Good Press Gallery. I had a super short residency in their work space and made some new drawings and a single edition zine. Glasgow and Good Press treated me well and the almost foreign sounding accents made me feel like I was on holiday. Sunny, mellow, happy times. Thanks to Matt and Jess for having me.
All my work from the show is available at the Good Press wite:

Taken at Garbaldi lake, in Squamish, BC. I was walking around the lake, when I noticed this girl sitting there, lost in thought. One of the best hiking spots in British Columbia. A great place to get lost in your thoughts.

Friday's Food for Thought
I decided to combine the FFT with some behind the scene shots to show that Hollow's Lost Woods is very real for those who thought it was photoshopped and to show that it does not take alot of equipment to get the job done.
So how did we find this location?
Simply put, I took a different route home. There are times that I just hop in my car and just drive to see what is in my neighborhood and what do you know. There are so many places in your neighborhood that you can find and use for your session that makes a great composition. Sometimes in life we keep doing the same thing over and over that life can get very boring. Do something different. Shoot at crazy angles. Have your clients do things that generally would not do. You will be amazed at what happens. On the way home today take a different route and take in life.
What I wanted to do here was show this pretty rose, but not clear and crisp. To show there are two sides, a dark side on the left bottom corner and a bright side on the right top corner. The hopes and emotions, the cheers and tears. Cancer is not a respecter of person.
The cycle of grief is what I hope this portrays:
Shock stage: Initial paralysis at hearing the bad news.
Denial stage: Trying to avoid the inevitable.
Anger stage: Frustrated outpouring of bottled-up emotion.
Bargaining stage: Seeking in vain for a way out.
Depression stage: Final realization of the inevitable.
Testing stage: Seeking realistic solutions.
Acceptance stage: Finally finding the way forward.
In Memory of Denise

Thank you poeticverse (Mike) for the lovely poem.
You can look at Mikes photos and read his poem on this address :
Therefore I am by Michael Peck. Oil on linen. Sulman Prize finalist.
Drawing on psychological and philosophical influences, this painting investigates the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind, and looks at the way that memory, experience, history and relationships all come together to create both order and disorder in the way we view the world.
The painting explores the notion that thought is slippery and can be difficult to pin down. It constantly reacts to stimuli, forming then reforming our understanding of the world and our own sense of self. Thought can prove the same idea true then false, but it is through challenging these contradictions that we learn the most, Michael Peck, 2017.

“A thousand thoughts of you
Will haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart.
A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love, they’ll bind me
To dreams that won’t depart.
Your face,
Your smile,
The moonlight in your hair
Your lips,
Your eyes,
I’ll see them everywhere.
(…)”
A Thousand Thoughts Of You - Nat King Cole

Thank you, Lia and BB, for this moment!
This is Dave, and he's most definitely thinking "... never thought I'd be on a boat..." — mainly because of this SNL video. It was our anthem for the day.

I thought I'd get the self-portrait category of 112 in 2012 over and done with. It's not something I enjoy. My entry for No.1 - Me (Yourself).
January Blues because January is hardly a jolly month at the best of times, and because I was wearing blue.
If one takes a macroscopic look at human beings situation evolution throughout the few last centuries, it is very noticeable that a growing part are given more and more freedom, as time passes. In rich countries, people are now (more and more) able to make a number of important choices: what do they want to study, what do they want as a job, do they want children and how many, where do they want to live, where do they want to go for vacations, what kind of food they want to eat, what kind of music do they want to listen to, etc. Many of these choices would have been considered as a great luxury not so long ago. The rights have been gained through social battles against a few highly privileged persons. Formerly, these were kings and emperors, now they are politics, big companies owners and any person willing to hold always more and more power in their hands.
However, I believe that a vast majority of these rights are allowed mostly because they serve a purpose. Still the same old one. Everyone knows that chickens raised outdoors are much tastier than battery farmed ones... looks like it's the same for human beings. Men with more freedom grow up better, and are more productive. The problem is, these last years, the Internet appeared, and chickens are now communicating in a worldwide scale... and of course, they are starting to realize why they are allowed to run in the grass, as long as they do not try to go past the fence. This was long neglected by power holders, and they now have a serious problem: the recent events in several countries (the Arab Spring) demonstrated what decisive role the Internet can play, and what consequences such communication can have.
SOPA, PIPA, ACTA (and similar bills or laws)are plain shameless tries to restrain that communication, and get things under control again. These ones claim to address a particular problem (piracy of cultural products), but their principle can simply be summarized in controlling the knowledge people can access to. Music and movies is simply the tip of the iceberg. Don't get me wrong, I am not in favor of piracy: I am in favor of true freedom. I want to be able to buy any kind of music I like, not ONLY the one a particular company decided to produce, to advertise on TV and radios to no extend, annihilating any alternative. This is where the Internet is a complete revolution, which is consequently attacked in order to muzzle it.
I choose to depict the situation using good old books, not electronic devices, for a similar reason: the ones willing to restrain access to knowledge would LOVE the whole world to rely on them... if these devices become the only way to get to education or entertainment, imagine how easy it would be to control and filter things out! Just a mouse click from a desk in a tower, and tada, no one in country A can read or see about country B. Or no one can learn about idea X. How convenient.

Tigger looks deep in thought...Probably wondering how long I'll keep him waiting for his catnip!

Given that we work under the name 'id-iom' we do enjoy shoehorning an idiom into our work whenever we get the chance. For today's piece we were commissioned to paint something live for the Streatham Food Festival and once I'd got the idea of using the idiom 'food for thought' (meaning anything that makes you stop and ponder) into my head I was off and running. The design largely suggested itself at that point and all that was then required was some nice weather. Given the quality of summer thus far we were delighted to actually have a sunny day to work with and judging by the number of people who'd come to enjoy the food stalls I'd imagine it was a good day for all. And the brisket burger I had was spot on to boot. Win all round.
Cheers
