the machine is timed to collapse. its number comes up. they say its a virus. how do I know. how do i know they didn’t put a virus in the machine. with a timer. to go off in 9 to 12 months. i’m feeling paranoid. maybe there’s a virus in me. i’m glad our gun laws in canada are strict. otherwise i’d put a bullet in the head of the machine. and then empty another in mine.
Portraits again. But from a different perspective. Variety, expansive imagination, innovative, craftsmanship, all are evident in Bruce New’s work. I am going to have to make a habit of returning to this artist’s sight.
I don’t know what it is about distortion that creates interesting pictures. Whether its water, glass, reflections, things look interesting. And so we have the work of Tim Tadder.

I love street art. And this artist’s work is fabulous.
Boellaard creates collages of the simplest order. They are often photographs with a few small changes. But the changes are everything.

This is what was written about Barry Kite:
‘After receiving his B.F.A. in film from UCLA, Chicago-born Barry Kite spent the next five years traveling overseas. Returning to the San Francisco Bay area, he wrote and performed his own style of surreal poetry in local coffee houses. Renewing his interest in collage, he combined photographic and hand-coloring techniques to create the foundation of his current work.’

Le Vourch uses both digital and cut and paste for his collages. I think his digital collages are more affective. Although I like the courage to do simple collages, many of these cut and paste collages seem pedestrian. But just when you’re opinion sours you run across a collage that is enlightening and fun. Perhaps it is all subjective.
So says Nathan Walsh. His paintings have the detail of precision. His paintings are not stories. The object of his affection are the buildings and streets. Not the people. And they are marvelous to look at.
