I have been keeping a series of sketchbook/journals for over 30
years now. These are kept on those thick black hardbound
sketchbooks that you see in art supply stores. The kind that have
acid free archival paper that is supposed to last for years and
years.... I went through the collected books and scanned and
cleaned up the drawings. Some pages were a little smudged from
years of friends thumbing through them. I'm glad that I took the
time, since even on archival paper these drawings might eventually
be lost to time.... I hope that you will enjoy this uncensored
collection of drawings and that you will enjoy this chance to
explore a little bit of my imagination... over 200 pages of pencil
and pen and ink drawings--Fairies, goblins, fantasy characters.
Some of the work is explicit, so keep on the top shelf.
Destination for artists and convalescents, playground of the rich,
site of foreign allure, the French Riviera has long attracted
visitors to its shores. Ranging through the late nineteenth
century, the Belle Epoque, the 'roaring twenties', and the
emancipatory post-war years, Rosemary Lancaster highlights the
contributions of nine remarkable women to the cultural identity of
the Riviera in its seminal rise to fame. Embracing an array of
genres, she gives new focus to feminine writings never previously
brought together, nor as richly critically explored. Fiction,
memoir, diary, letters, even cookbooks and choreographies provide
compelling evidence of the innovativeness of women who seized the
challenges and opportunities of their travels in a century of
radical social and artistic change.
They were named the "throwaways." Children with learning
differences engaged in artmaking as sensemaking to promote issues
of social justice in K-12 schools. For the first time, children
with learning differences, teachers, staff, and school leaders come
together and share how they understand the role artmaking as
sensemaking plays in empowering disenfranchised populations.
Eight studies examine key features of Chinese visual and material
cultures, ranging from tomb design, metalware, ceramic pillows, and
bronze mirrors, to printed illustrations, calligraphic rubbings,
colophons, and paintings on Buddhist, landscape, and narrative
themes. Questions addressed include how artists and artisans made
their works, the ways both popular literature and market forces
could shape ways of looking, and how practices and imagery spread
across regions. The authors connect visual materials to funeral and
religious practices, drama, poetry, literati life, travel, and
trade, showing ways visual images and practices reflected, adapted
to, and reproduced the culture and society around them. Readers
will gain a stronger appreciation of the richness of the visual and
material cultures of Middle Period China.
