Or, "Triple A," for you baseball fans. There has to be one or two.

You can see the three A's there in the wooden planks. :D

Happy Saturday! (Or Sunday, depending on where you are.)

That floral shape is the same one as in this year's "Space Spider", but heavily filtered and recolored. After its transformation, it made me think of candy corn. Hence the title and the kids' Western motif. Hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Song reference, give or take a spelling change. :D

The accidental candy corn via filtration has happened before. Here, for instance. But that always was a favorite Halloween treat for me. So I'm good. ;)

A throwback of sorts to this fun little thing here. A whole lot of work, too and I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend, my buddies. :)

Her Fluffy Story

I guess this is almost seasonal. The look on Eunice's face when she found out Mama cooked her beloved pet and fed it to the family will haunt me forever. (The Carol Burnett Show for those of you from the wrong era or country.)

Often, I'm not satisfied with the Type Boxes I make. At least, not until many weeks or even months after they're finished. What I do love here is that my brain kept trying to turn the very concept of "Green + Red" automatically into "Christmas," but I fought back-- and won!! :D

Pigeons would've been better, but I didn't have any good shots of them. I wonder if there's still anyone alive in this town who'd repair a digital camera for me.

A haunting Wayne Shorter tune from 1965. It's an absolute crime that I've only settled in with my vinyl collection maybe once this year. [grumble]

Like every collage maven, I'm fond of Joseph Cornell's work. I've done a whole series of "wood-framed" pieces because of him. But I think this is my first one to exist only on computer.
