MyGreat-Grandmother’s Caned Chair

My-G-G-Grandmother’s-Caned-Chair, originally uploaded by calebism. My father sent this pic and wrote: “I am attaching a photo of my grandmother Stella Pryor’s rocker. I rebuilt it from scraps about 1957 in Cleveland Hts, and then when your grandfather Phillips was visiting, I re-caned the chair, myself. Now, 52 years later, it came apart and I [...]

Sure, But when Do I Get Health Insurance?

Were I back home on the upper left coast, I probably wouldn’t often sit bolt upright at three am with the thought: WTF am I doing? I’d have lots of validation every time I went to the dog park, the laundromat, got on the bus, went to the coffee house– there would be lots [...]

How I Spent The Nineties– Check The Flannel

Painting At Interior Motives Gallery, St Pete

This is a big 4×4 foot canvas I’m doing in the style that I used a few years ago. I sort of forgot about this kind of big-brush direct painting, but it is kind of fun and really conveys a mood. And by mood, I mean, Really Hot. Which it is, and it will remain [...]

Voodoo Dolls Stumbled Upon In St. Petersburg Fl Cemetery

This sounds like the work of a certain New Orleans artist now living in St Petersburg, but that’s just my suspicion. Come to think of it, why would she leave her dolls in a cemetery when they sell so well in galleries… Anyway, you can read the whole weird story *here*. I stumbled across the story [...]
