Michael Clinard January 2, 1979 — July 3, 2017
We are heartbroken to share the news that our friend and fellow artist Michael Clinard passed away on July 3, 2017. Mike was a gifted conceptual photographer who employed his sketchbook, artful hyperbole and unique vision to create two-dimensional tableaus that blur the line between the familiar and surreal. Informed by both new media and art history, Mike enjoyed walking the tight rope of being abstractly tongue-and-cheek, while commercially successful. Our friend Mike valued the well-being of his three children above all else, but second might have been protecting the creative space around emerging artists. On a recent creative call, Mike said that he became the artist he was because his contemporaries and professors valued his work early on and he felt both excited and compelled to keep creating. His most recent, self-written artist biography reads: 
Michael Clinard has roots in the Southeastern United States, but he now calls Seattle home. His narrative, conceptual style is informed by his graduate degrees in new media, photography and art history. The son of an Ecuadorian mother and her Tennessee stud, he is from the era of 8-bit Nintendo and unsupervised bottle rocket wars. As a photographer, he finds inspiration from everything around him and discovers the unique just about everywhere he goes. 
Michael Clinard had been named a PDN 30 and was recognized by the Magenta Foundation, American Photography and the Addy Awards. His select clients included the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Microsoft, Amazon, Marriott, Esquire and Fortune. 
We will remember the responsibility that Michael Clinard felt to create great work with an acute veracity, as well as his sensitivity towards its perception within the world, with love and gratitude.

By day, Michael Clinard is a talented advertisement photographer, working with big names like Fortune. At night, however, he uses his skills for something entirely different.
Clinard creates “facial hallucinations” that are inspired by the severe lack of sleep he experienced when his twins were born. He said, “Off and on spurts of sleep here and there on account of newborn twins. Maybe 5-7 days of washing bottles, prepping new milk feedings; these are self-portraits.” Take a look!
A lack of sleep is enough to make anyone feel a little crazy, but Clinard wanted to capture that madness on film.
Reddit / clinard
He was able to create these visually striking images by using strobe lights and minute-long exposure times.
Reddit / clinard
He also uses natural sources of light in his work, such as in this image that utilizes pure moonlight.

Clinard has even brought his kids in on the fun! That baby looks seriously confused.

Addie Wagenknecht | Black Hawk Paint 
‘Black Hawk Paint is a mechanically assisted series of action paintings that Wagenknecht started in 2007. She creates them with small-scale drone aircraft, and in the process, utilizes simple flight commands such as ‘barrel roll’, ‘take off’ and ‘land’. Among the most recent are works on vellum and canvas that incorporate heat- and UV-sensitive pigments. In her most recent versions, Wagenknecht plays with the notion of interactivity by removing all forms of electronics. The pieces react to the changes of temperature and light within the exhibition space due to the pigments chromic elements. As a result, the works are always morphing and reacting to the environment, and as a result, no piece will never be the same twice.’

For the sixth-consecutive year Auburn softball team is headed to the NCAA Tournament. The women learned their destination in Sunday night’s selection show.
The trip will mark the second time Auburn has played an NCAA Regional in Tucson, last appearing there in 2006. The Tigers will be the No. 2 seed in a region that features one of the true blue blood programs in host Arizona. No. 2 Auburn (37-19, 10-14 SEC) will face No. 3 Colorado State, Friday, 8 p.m. on ESPN.
***
Auburn Baseball lost an important series over the weekend against No. 7 Georgia. After spliting the first two games the Tigers fought back from a 7-2 deficit in game three to tie it up at 7 all before Cam Shepherd hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to give the Bulldogs a 10-8 win. Auburn is now 30-21 overall and 13-14 SEC.
The Tigers play UNA at home on Tuesday before heading to LSU to play what may be their most important series of the year as the outcome could determine their chances at a post season berth.
*** Auburn Athletics Director Allen Greene has been working to generate support for a new football facility. He told AuburnSports.com last week that he hopes to be able to soon present the plans to the Auburn board of trustees. Preliminary estimates on the cost for such a project start at $60 million dollars. If he’s successful, it would be a huge plus for Greene as well as for Auburn football.
*** The No. 11 Auburn men’s golf team are playing today in their 10th NCAA Regional in 10 seasons under head coach Nick Clinard. The Tigers are playing in the Louisville Regional at University of Louisville Golf Club through Wednesday.
Auburn is one of only four programs to move on to the NCAA Championship each of the past seven seasons and hopefully they will advance toward a chance to play for a national title.
***
Finally allow me to swerve a bit from Auburn sports. A wrong has been righted in Athens, Ga. Fifteen years ago, then, UGa President Michael Adams got in a dispute over Athletic Director Vince Dooley’s retirement date. Dooly wanted six more months and Adams dug his heals in and said an emphatic “No way,” not on my watch.
I never could understand why he would not want to honor the coach that gave Georgia more championships that any other in history. He then went further by submarine alumni proposals to rename the stadium Sanford-Dooley Stadium. Instead he allowed a small garden on campus to carry the legendary coach’s name.
Now we’ve learned the present president, Jere Morehead has announced The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand! for Coach Dooley.
Why am I writing about this on an Auburn blog? Because one, it is the right move by the new president and two, Vince Dooly is somewhat of a legend at Auburn too. He earned two degrees at Auburn, played quarterback on the Plains, and was an assistant football coach under Shug Jordan before taking the job in Athens.
I’m just glad the honor is coming while Vince (at 86) is still around to enjoy it. Congratulations coach for a well deserved honor!

Assignment #2: Individual Research on Digital Art & Artist
Tumblr media
Portrait of Addie Wagenknecht, courtesy of Michael Clinard -  Addie’s Art                                                          
                                                            JODI 
Jodi is an artistic duo based in the Netherlands.
They make glitched out, broken html coded websites to mock the functional use of technology.
I find the few pieces I was able to dig up beautiful and thought provoking. They are beautiful because they are wild with colors and coded  messages with no particular meaning, and they provoke thought by engaging the viewer in something they definitely recognize but can not make use of.
Another thing I find interesting is the fact that the duo uses technology in their art to make a point about how we take technology too seriously. 
Personally, I am a fan. I enjoy the use of bright, vibrant colors on a pitch black background (seen in most of the following examples of JODI’s work). I think that the web pages are exciting to look at which is a plus to the fact that they provide an excellent message to today’s youth especially: What you can do with technology is far less exciting than the simpler joys of life.
ABOUT  JODI:
Tumblr media
This is the JODI.org homepage (Click “JODI.org” link to see for yourself). The page is black with what looks like strange, green code written everywhere.
Tumblr media
This is the next page I came across after randomly clicking around on the home page. Click here: Page 2. This page reminds me of a map due to the topographic looking blue and yellow lines, and also the red words, symbols, and targets that look like city names.
Tumblr media
This was Page 3. (Click on “Page 3″) This page is very chaotic but somehow very settling as well. I think all of the colors combined in this sort of glitchy behavior makes the page confusing, but the warm yellow, orange, and red components make it feel more inviting than the other pages.
Tumblr media
Page 4 uses repetition of straight blue lines on a black background to create a cage/jail-cell vibe. (Click on “Page 4” to see what I mean)
                                           ADDIE WAGENKNECHT
Addie Wagenknecht is an interesting artist because she has a wide range interests when it comes to her work such as feminism, mass consumption, and the relationship between people and technology. 
There are some pieces by Annie that I love and some pieces that I do not care for very much. The Webcam Venus is a perfect example of a piece of hers that I do not like. I think that it is the opposite of  “A gesture of respect towards fine arts”. I think it’s disrespectful to compare Mona Lisa to a Sexcam performer since that is not the way Mona Lisa’s artist intended to portray her.
Black Hawk Paint on the other hand is a piece I enjoy. It was created using a small plane drone dropping paint over the canvas which is a super creative way to paint something, and its dark black paint and swift paint streaks over a stark white canvas help bring out a darker emotion than I have seen lately in most popular art works.

“Because the SPAM image itself kind of plays on self-promotion, I felt it was a good one to keep on the front” says Michael Clinard “The front should be visually-arresting and cause for looking deeper into the mailer.” To see more of Clinard's promo and read about why funny works for him, visit "Promos We Kept" at pdnonline.com. @michaelclinard #promoswekept http://ift.tt/2qEKtYJ

  Gozelle Ham, 91
Tumblr media
Mrs.  Gozelle Andrews Ham
Born and raised on the family farm in Boomer, NC, Gozelle Andrews Ham or “Mama Ham”, as she was affectionately known, loved her family. She was fond of saying, “I am a simple country girl and proud of it”! Her wish to live out her days at home enjoying her gardens, nature, and songbirds was granted as she departed peacefully, Friday, December 23 in her home.
Gozelle was born on November 26, 1925 in Wilkes County to Nelson Coles and Ollie Margaret Earp Andrews.  She graduated from Wilkesboro High School and Appalachian State Teachers’ College where she received her degree in Library Science.  She served as librarian at Mooresville High School and at Wilkes Central High  School for 26 years, 1969-1995.  She was a loving mother, gardener, reader, enjoyed music and was physically active in water aerobics at the Wilkes YMCA.  She had a strong faith and was an active member of Little Rock Baptist Church.  
She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Austin Ham; her parents; one sister, Ruby Andrews McGee; and one brother, John William Andrews.
She is survived by three daughters, Martha Ham Townes and husband, “B”, of Boomer, Margaret Ham Sturdivant and husband, Mike, of Pittsboro, and Rosemarie Ham Ziedonis, and husband, Arvids, of Boston, MA; one son, Karl Andrew Ham and wife, Holly, of Charlotte; and five grandchildren that she was “ humbly proud of”, Frederick William Townes V and wife Tina, Charlotte Louise Townes, Wesley Charles Sturdivant, Laura Beth Sturdivant, and Charles Austin Ham II; and one sister, Edna Andrews Weston of Boomer.
She was an inquisitive woman who read voraciously often marking various items with a friend or family members’ name and then mailing it to them with a well thought out occasional card. These were often accompanied by her desire to “have a little word of prayer when I next see you.” In addition to her love of home and family, she enjoyed traveling having ventured to Boston a few months ago to see family members and their homes. Her keen sense of sight and interest in many things would often surprise those with her as she pointed out details that others did not see.
She was proud of her 91 years of independence and left a short hand written note to her family stating that “although she might not move as fast as she once did, she saw more along the way!”
Funeral services were held at 11:00 AM Monday, December 26, 2016 at Little Rock Baptist Church, Boomer, NC, with the Rev. Robert Livingston officiating.  Burial was in the church cemetery.  The family received friends following the service in the church fellowship hall.

End Transmission
It is with not a shred of regret that I end The Hills, 98006 / newporthillz.tumblr.com.
I started this blog as a kind of identity training. A bit of therapy; perhaps I was going a bit out of body in the early months of 2014 after suffering a rather abrupt jar to the head in December 2013.
Auditory and visual hallucinations abound, I had shed over thirty pounds from my frame in a month. When the docs were like, “dude, you’re good,” I set myself on a course to know my self. 
Happy to report that in a coal creek, I became a kid again - William James and Oliver Sacks my rock-skipping companions. “The way in is through,” I’d say with persistence of a man I once met on a boat in the British Virgin Isles.
How could I have ever thought all this double vision (perhaps double talk is more appropriate here) would make a Dad twice over of me with the birth of twins, Zana and Arno - my little compound eyes.
Be headstrong but don’t die. Have a vision but have a life. Own up and be there. You’re not getting older, you’re getting younger.
-- Mike

Michael Clinard-
Michaels education in conceptual art has drastically effected his works. He has quirky use of color and emphasis. He does editorial photography mostly. I love his use of meaning behind all his photographs and the amount of time these photos must have taken to execute.
