The Upgraded Booker Creek Park, St Petersburg, Florida

July 13, 2008 – 11:42 am

Booker Creek Park, which for all intents and purposes was useless until its 2007 revamp, sits behind (north) of Edward White Hospital, between 9th Ave N and 13th Ave N, just west of the 275 Freeway. Although it lacks mature trees and shade is sparse, it is a fine and underutilized lakeside park with observation [...]

Photos of 1950s St Petersburg Florida

July 12, 2008 – 8:30 am

I love Yahoo Pipes feeds. They can bring you almost anything. This morning I ran across these three pics from among “found” photos which had been labeled by the photographer as being from St Petersburg Florida.  Collector/Publisher  vieilles_annonces claims to be “Simply A Girl From the Midwest of the US of A”, which is, of [...]

Coney Island, Baby: YA St Pete Hot Dog Stand Cityscape

July 11, 2008 – 11:55 am

Why, you ask? Why do another damned view of the Coney Island Grill on MLK in St Petersburg? Well… the truth is that people like them. People want paintings of B-list landmarks of their hometown because they have pleasant memories about them, and it gives them a sense of place.
In a transient place like Florida, [...]

And Now, A Young Woman Riding A Bike

July 11, 2008 – 11:23 am

Against a wall of flowers, no less. The photo-reference I used must be from last winter, because you sure aren’t going to catch anybody riding a bike in long pants in spring or summer on the Gulf coast of Florida. I am not hugely organized as regards my photo references, which adds mystery to the [...]

Urban Mutt Painting

July 11, 2008 – 10:51 am

I am trying to keep up with my less-than-prolific output of artwork, which should be no problem, but I keep forgetting to bring the camera down to the gallery where I do a lot of work. This is a rework of a painting I did that sold some time ago; everybody liked it so much [...]

Used To Hang With The Mansons, Man… Maybe.

July 10, 2008 – 12:01 pm

Back when I was a very young stinking drug-crazed hippie, I used to pile in a microbus with my buds and head out for the Mojave, behind the San Berdoo mountains, and hike into a very weird high elevation desert hot springs. We called it “Bowen Ranch” or “Deep Creek”.
It was a long trek across [...]

Great Nations of Europe- I Love You!

July 10, 2008 – 9:55 am

And this without any discernible content, wit or talent! I love the internets.

Riding The Express Train To Identi.ca

July 5, 2008 – 11:31 am

Sometimes, fun stuff like this makes getting up on a hot Tampa Bay morning– featuring a tropical-fish-tank atmosphere, giant flying roaches and that more-of-the-same-for-five-more-months dread– worthwhile. This guy name-checks like a pro.
Somehow, I don’t think the train really stops at Identi.ca…

King George’s Offenses

July 4, 2008 – 10:10 am

Image via Wikipedia
You know, I really don’t want to be “that guy”, but if you examine the string of offenses allegedly committed by Ol’ King George in the middle of the following obscure document, some of them really have a strikingly contemporary ring. Maybe it’s just me. I’m just saying, is all. What should I [...]
