Just by Chance

Helen Malone and I have been working collaboratively on a little book of drawings "Chance" which we have just completed. It was inspired by two German artists Ulrike Stoltz and Uta Schneider who work together extensively as USUS. It was their delightful lecture that inspired us to continue in the areas of collaboration. Our collaborative drawings in the book icluded some…

Why I am leaving IOUMA

I have been a mail artist for quite a few years.  I am sadly leaving IOUMA.  There is a certain style of art I usually see here, and a style that I usually receive.  It is a mid century-collage based cut and paste look, which I admire and enjoy, but is NOT what I do.  I just got a comment that said my art was not hand-made, because I started with a print of a watercolor.  This is not a photocopy, and even if it were, who is someone (across the globe, I might add, for which I spent $3 on…

Stripygoose Sue: Taking a stroll n° 202/365

The famous goose is taking a stroll, but this time she is in the Canary Islands.

In the small village of Icod de los Vinos, there is the famous dragon tree which they say is 1000 years old, but it is likely to be only a couple hundred years old.  However a walk in that area is wonderful and the Goose looks happy.

Thank you Sue.  The last I heard was that the city…
