J.A.D. Media Bits and Jan Hodgman

J.A.D.'s 'Istanbul'--mysterious, lovely, seems to belong with Jan's soft beautiful circles card. The small dots are raised, and I love the almost readable text background. Great colors in both pieces. Thanks!

2 small photos by J.A.D.

I got these rad two pieces almost 2 full months ago, but am just now getting around to talking about it.

Just a couple of simple images that have had their colors altered in some way. I'm not terribly familiar with how filtering images works, but I do know that there is a way to use MATLAB to detect the edges of objects in an image, and it matches the photo on the right.…

Stand Alone Art by Fiorentina Giannotta

Fiorentina sent me a sample of her artwork from some of the pieces she had earlier posted online which I found so admirable. It is just as beautiful in person as it is on the computer screen. She also turned it into a little "table tent" so that I could stand it upright and admire it face-on.

Such detail and flourish! And characters with much…

My first Mail Art piece from Lydia.  When I opened the envelope, and looked inside, the word "beautiful" came from my mouth.  This is silk painting  at its best.  Very lovely to look at and very soft at the touch.

     Thank you Lydia, it's going to be a challenge…

Ceci n'est pas le Eiffel Tower from Richard Canard

This was sent to me back in August 2012.  It is not the Eiffel Tower and, technically, it is not the Tokyo Tower either.  Towers are difficult to be sent by the mail.  I very much prefer to receive a picture of it.
