Penguins from the Past circa 2003

this is the process of making my jackass penguin who live some time in an erotic bookshop in wales....
yes and i think he liked it as well.go figure a penguin into human erotica?
well i never.
this is his beginning  in haverhill - yes where the pigs came into play as well penguins rose to live out there day...
he is a proportionally accurate jackass and he now lives above my fireplace a little less black and white then he used to be- as both colours fade to a grey in between the polarities of black and white.

Pigs in Zen

For awhile tim and  i lived in my sister in laws home- before she was my sister in law, in a place called haverhill.
her favorite animal , her mascot lets say is/was the pig.
for that time life had seemed to suddenly become pigcentric.
we visited piglets at a local farm, made pig masks and photographed them and then become utterly obsessed with this abandoned pig farm...

wild horses on I-90
past Ellensburg.
 Had not come across these previous. You can walk up to the ridge they are located on - but we had destinations it was 96 degrees F and it was a dry climb, driving still plenty.
so we saw them from the bottom - watched the people move around them.
These were created by David Govedare.

Dick and Janes Spot, Ellensburg, Wa

 i think i would totally enjoy living in Ellensburg for a few years-
After visiting their fantastic farmers market and scoring local veg and sheep cheese we revisited Dick and Janes Spot- as i had meant to come here once before- but didn't and then nearly forgot again. but i am sure glad we stumbled upon it in our night walk last nigth - friday - and then returned in day light to capture - as i do find it very inspiring.

Particles on the wall 2012

I am honored to have a piece entitled "Japan" going into this fantastic multidisciplinary event at
Central Washington University. 

Put together by Physicians for Social Responsibility
POTW at PSR
Particles on the Wall September 19, 2012 - December 8, 2012 Particles on the Wall (POTW) is an interdisciplinary group exhibit exploring elements of science and the nuclear age, Hanford history, their thread through our lives and their bearing on the Columbia River and natural world. The goal of the exhibit is to unite the arts and sciences to forge a more healthy and peaceful world, while exploring Hanford history and the nuclear age. Exhibit pieces illuminate key events regarding the nuclear history and role of nuclear technology in Washington State, current concerns with radioactive contamination, and the quest for peace. Given the magnitude of the topics, the tone of the exhibit is one of quiet commentary yet restraint, to best impart both the need for concern and an element of hope in the face of issues on war, peace, and the nuclear age that rest in our own back yards. To learn more about the exhibit, visit its website.
 The Museum is now closed for the summer. The Museum will re-open on September 19, 2012.
Hours Wednesday-Friday - 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday - 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Admission Admission is free to all. Donations are accepted. Location The Museum of Culture and Environment is located on the first floor of Dean Hall on the Central Washington University campus. The street address is: 1200 N. D St. Ellensburg, WA 98926-7544
