New Series/New Ideas

For the longest time, I've been thinking about how to incorporate technology into process. I'm done thinking about it. In this new series of three panel artworks on paper, I'm creating an 8"x8" painting on paper, then creating an 8"x8" abstraction on patterned paper with software and inkjet printer, then scanning the original painting and tweaking, flipping and enhancing it in Photoshop before printing an 8"x8" image on paper with inkjet printer.

These can be displayed horizontally or vertically: top image is the Photoshopped image; middle image is the abstraction created with Publisher; bottom image is the original painting. All pieces 8"x8". Untitled at this point.

All feedback welcome. Don't spare my feelings.

Denim Jacket by Tim Lane

Some time btwn 2002-2004, I stenciled the head of the Statue of Liberty (in black) on the back of this jacket, and sprayed the collar pink. Now, that older meditation on the freedom of expression (read emotion minus repression) has been merged with my recent meditation on the possibility of our embracing of "the rest of the world's game" aiding in the creation of a genuine global village.
