zippyt,

I'm very sorry your family had to withstand the indignity of an uncle who went through a Keane period ...

LJ,

Quite a few of bruce's doodads are his creations. He does a lot of cool artistic things. The man has many hidden talents, and more depth than the Marianas trench.

Why thank you LJ , I had it on my desk top for a while as well

Talk about timing. I just got a digital camera as an early Christmas present, so I'll start playing with it here.

This is a bookshelf my father and I made. The Audubon print above it was mounted and framed by my parents. The wooden box on the top right was a stocking stuffer from my grandfather from last year.

Only decent picture from my recent "stupid night explorations" -- the theme was "security" or "bad security". I thought the rust was kinda cool.

LJ - that one from your son looks like "riding a great wave home on a sunny day" - sweet

Happy Monkey ... Great bookcase, although you have to reshoot the picture with better resolution on the books so we can snoop on your shelves ... I mean I can identify some Baen SF, and a Tony Hillerman, but what else you got there?

(I do not own a book case. I have enough books to stock a library. I have floors and what the apt. manager idenfied as a "linen closet".)

I'll show you some of mine. Warning: Abstraction.

Here is some color. (sorry. larger image than I thought)

Warch -- the black and white one is awesome! Is there any story behind it, or is it just complete and total abstraction? I love the angles.

Here is an intaglio print.

Here's a collage thing.

And here's a textile I made. Ikat technique.

Thanks. Its from a series of charcoal drawings, they are quite big, and based somewhat on landscape impressions- Prairie farmland, but I like that the scale could be almost anything, macro or micro.here's another one:

It looks like someone has microdots in their hand.

(No, I haven't been drinking...yet.)

Good stuff, Warch!

Can you tell I'm killing time till I can leave work?
