INTIMATIONS OF MORTALITY II

Indiana limestone, clear and colored glass, resin casting, imitation gold leaf, black linen matboard, plywood backer - 15¼"x 4⅝"x 1¾"

The work was originally done for an exhibit exploring what artists did while working during the COVID19 lockdown (POSTCARDS FROM THE WINDOW-2021 see link below). However, that work was stolen from the exhibit. I never had a work stolen from me before — it is a strange feeling knowing that my work so moved someone to the extent that they felt they had to have it while at the same time there is the dis-respect of having something taken away from me so I could never share it again. It was like they had stolen the words from my mouth while at the same time complementing me on my phrasing.

The piece had begun with a little found object token (a key fob in the form of a human skull) which I had separated from the chain and which had sat on my successive desktop computers for perhaps twenty years as a sort-of mascot. During the COVID lockdown I found myself focusing on this memento mori again and again, and finally decided to use it as part of a self-portrait as a survivor (for the time being, anyway).

After the work was stolen I felt like I had to replace it, to repeat the story someone took away from me, re-state my stolen 'words'. I tried to find a replacement skull to no avail — whoever had manufactured the key fobs originally all those years ago were not still marketing them that I could find, so I had to find or make another skull. I carved a skull in ebony but it wasn't right. I found a little plastic skeleton (anatomically correct, partially articulated), but it wasn't quite right either. I molded the skull but cut-off the lower jaw from the casting to make it more like the key-fob skull. Though it still was not perfect I felt this one would work.

So this piece is a re-made version of the stolen work with a slightly larger size skull and naturally different piece of limestone. The skull sans jawbone (i.e. - 'muted') is mounted under glass in a black linen shadowbox cut into the limestone. The naturally cleft surface of the limestone is covered in a natural aged algae patina to echo the age of times past. The fitted blood-red dot of glass and the energetic golden grinder cuts to suggest the idea of 'the quick and the dead'.

There is an exhibit (DAY OF THE DEAD) later this year I'll submit the work to so I can share my 'selfie' again.

Packard Patricia pickup

Chris Coleman

Former Test Driver & Mechanic at Automotive Industry (2007–2008

What were the original reasons for Chevrolet coming out with the El Camino?

The El Camino, and other similar vehicles, like the Ford Ranchero, Subaru BRAT, Dodge Rampage and others, were designed to offer car-like comfort, performance and convenience, with the cargo capability of a light truck. Three of the forerunners to this were the Packard Patrician pickup, the Chevrolet Cameo and the Dodge Sweptline pickups.

1957 Dodge Sweptline with tailfins

Chevrolet Cameo Fleetside

The El Camino was based on the full-sized Impala originally, and was enormous. The low ground clearance and hefty weight made it a poor choice as a pickup. Most owners purchased them for styling reasons, especially with the cat eye taillights and horizontal tail fins.

1959 Chevrolet El Camino

Later, Chevrolet downsized the El Camino and based it on the Chevelle/Malibu, where it remained until it was discontinued.

1968 El Camino SS

With nothing in the rear, other than an empty bed, it was difficult to make it competitive as a muscle car, since the weight distribution was heavily biased towards the front.

Also, the bed used curved sheet metal in many places, to accommodate the rounded body panels, and this wasn’t a good fit with common pickup cargo, like plywood, hay bales and crates.

With the passenger compartment realistically holding two people, it was worthless as a family car, while a station wagon version of the Chevelle would be perfect. These things made it an odd fit with a very limited customer base.

Holden Ute, from Australia

Paradoxically, in Australia, cars like these, called Utes (short for utility) were and are extremely popular. Australia has a more rural environment and remote ranches and homes, which make this type of vehicle perfect for them. However in a more suburban setting, like the U.S., the El Camino was always an odd choice.

1972 Ford Ranchero - Based on the Torino

Dodge Rampage

Dodge Rampage, built on the K-car platform

Subaru Baja

Today, no one makes a ute for the American market, but that doesn’t mean these may not resurface from time to time. As kids grow up and nests are emptied, we may once again see a demand for the ubiquitous El Camino, Ford Ranchero and others.

Co-op with Coop

On April 1st, I had a visit with the benefactor of my longest friendship Mark Cooper or “Coop” as I called him back in the day. It was April Fools, but this is not a prank and the only fool was me for not snapping a picture to mark the occasion.  Coop and I met sometime around 1979 on the neighborhood streets of what was then called Lakeview Heights.  Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s was one of those amazing times that, looking back on it, I feel so fortunate to have been a part of.  Our upbringing in those days has become solidified in modern pop culture by way of memes, pictures and stories from those who survived that time.  Depictions of kids jumping their BMX bikes over a rickety, hand-made ramp while 6 or 7 hapless friends lay prone beside the warped, plywood slope-- like decommissioned school busses in an Evil Knievel motorcycle stunt-- resonate with our generation on a deep level.  How about the memories of what water tasted like coming out of a garden hose and the reminder to let the water run for a good 30 seconds on a hot day or else you got a mouthful of 90 degree plastic hose-flavored H2O? Mark lived one street over from me in those days and the shenanigans we found ourselves in never ended. We honestly didn’t stop from sun up to sun down (except for the occasional dinner bell or call of nature).  All the kids in the neighborhood had each other’s phone numbers memorized back then there were no smartphone contact pages.  The prefix was all the same and Mark’s # and mine were only 14 numbers apart. His number ended in 5-7-1-1 and mine in 5-7-2-5 and it wasn’t uncommon in those days to know your best friend’s number better than your own. From street hockey matches with anyone that walked by and wanted to join mid-game, to playing tag and kick-the-can in each other’s yards, knocking the pickets out of our fences when we used them as make-shift soccer nets, to pranking unsuspecting families with nicky nicky nine doors and running onto the road and mooning oncoming cars -- there was never a lack of crazy things for a bunch of 6-10 year olds to do back in those days.  We would ride our bikes everywhere we could and usually that was to the local corner store, Grant’s Market, or a little further down the road to the laundromat or video store.  Westside Video Classics was THE place to rent all the latest movies and games back in the day.  

If it wasn’t movies or wrestling, Coop and I bonded over hockey cards (playing scramble,  knock-downs and closeys), making comedy tapes on our cassette recorders (we thought we were a regular Bob & Doug McKenzie duo) and later on playing video games.  At my house I introduced him to the two full-sized arcade machines my dad had bought from a co-worker and put in our rumpus room as he liked to call it:  Super Soccer and Wild Cycle and then later games like Raid on Isram and Cosmic Cruncher on the Commodore Vic-20.  

At his house we played endless rounds of Ring King and Super Mario Bros. 2 on his NES as well as countless hours of board games like Crokinole, Rummoli and Crossbows & Catapults. We had the definitive 80s childhood: trick-or-treating together in our shared neighborhood for years at Halloween time, sleepovers almost every other weekend, birthday parties and endless summer nights of hi-jinx.  We shared in common younger siblings that tried to do everything we did at that time and rivalries with our respective kin that gave us even more to relate to.  Sometime in the early 80s, Coop tattooed the drywall on his bedroom wall, in permanent marker no less, with the inscription:  Best Friend Bobby since 1980.  An homage to a friendship that, at that time, was a few years on but looking back now has been a friendship that has endured nearly 45 years.   To take a page out of his playbook, I mocked my 7up sign to display the following:

I am getting away from my story. All of this to say that Mark came by to meet the family and check out my game room, but became quickly overwhelmed with it all.  He was audibly giggling from the moment I greeted him at the front door to the moment we made our way down to the ‘Arcade’ and then back up to the kitchen to sit and catch up.  His energy was infectious and I knew that we would likely not be doing a lot of gaming on this visit but rather getting reacquainted and spinning shared experiences from those good old neighborhood days.  

Fast forward a week and we got together again and this time we ended up spending a good hour re-living some of those nostalgic times down @ 8bit Bobby’s.  Coop’s one pre-visit request was that he wanted to play some Raid on Isram.  To make this possible, I had to hunt through various backups to find my rom files for the Vic-20 and then figure out how to interface it with my current Hyperspin setup on my M.A.M.E. Arcade machine.  After some tweaking I managed to get it setup and somewhat playable.  The game itself is nothing earth shattering and is essentially a watered-down clone of the popular game Scramble, but, to a couple of 40 somethings reliving the times when they were likely in the 10 and under category, it was pretty neat to play again.  The object of the game is literally survival. You shoot a laser cannon and drop bombs on enemy ground-to-air missiles and fuel refineries. It starts out scrolling left to right in a pretty wide open playfield but as the game wears on the air-to-ground missiles begin taking off and you begin to enter narrow tunnels with what can only be described as flying spiders coming at you.  You can shoot off the stalactites that make the caves a tight squeeze but if you are too busy contending with them you are sure to get hit by the unpredictable and weird trajectory of these squiggle-like arachnid creatures.  Raid on Isram is a “one and done” game meaning you have one life to get as far as you can and then that’s it.  No extra lives, no continues, nothing. THIS was the epitome of gaming back in the days before infinite lives, cheat codes and save states were a thing.  

From here we moved on to some co-op games starting with Golden Axe.  We got swiftly through the first two stages cracking heads and laying the boots to the little magic-stealing gnomes that appear between checkpoints only to have the game freeze without warning.  I have played through several of these games and never had this happen before. It was a definite headscratcher but we were undeterred.  We continued our co-operative game play with the Midway classic, Rampage.  Just like back in the old days when we used to stomp around the neighborhood, we joined forces to destroy buildings, smash tanks and defeat digitized army men as George and Ralph the giant, Kong-like Ape and Wolfman respectively.  We played through 19 “days” or cities and after each one we wondered how long the game went on for.  After a quick Wikipedia search it would appear that the game has 128 days that, when completed, repeat 5 more times. It was good to know that this was a game we were not likely to finish in one sitting. Maybe a future stream event or something?  Pictured below are our two protagonists: Coop & Bobby and in true fashion I am showing my age and lack of tech savviness by being unsure as to where I am supposed to be looking at the camera. I suppose a goofy picture is better than no picture at all.

This game room of mine and friends like Coop remind me how much of a role nostalgia plays in my life.  The way certain sights or sounds can just transport a person back in time.  I know we are not the same kids who hid in the willow trees on the neighbor’s property, cut through a field and hopped a fence into each others’ backyards with the ease and agility of an Olympic vaulter, and had water balloon fights while eating home-made popsicles to beat the summer heat, but for the hour or so that we connected tonight, we were transported back to a much simpler time. I leave you with the meme pasted below (which came up in conversation during his visit and I think really hits in the gut). Even though we can’t go back to that moment and give it the recognition and closure it deserved we can at least reminisce about what it was like just hanging out and teaming up against whatever was out there.  Co-op with Coop 4 EVA.

Plywood Flooring: What Makes It an Ideal Choice?

Plywood flooring has gained immense popularity in recent years due to its numerous advantages. Let's take a closer look at why it is considered an ideal choice for homeowners in Bangalore.

1. Durability: The Foundation of Long-lasting Floors

One of the primary reasons plywood flooring is preferred by many homeowners is its exceptional durability. Plywood is made by layering thin sheets of wood together and bonding them with high-strength adhesives. This construction method results in a strong and stable material that can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it suitable for homes with children and pets.

2. Cost-Effectiveness: A Budget-Friendly Option

Bangalore homeowners are often on the lookout for cost-effective flooring solutions without compromising on quality. Plywood flooring fits the bill perfectly. Compared to other flooring options like hardwood or marble, plywood flooring is significantly more affordable while offering comparable durability and visual appeal. It provides an excellent balance between cost and quality, making it an attractive choice for budget-conscious individuals.

3. Versatility: Aesthetically Pleasing Designs

Plywood flooring offers homeowners the freedom to explore various design options and styles. Whether you prefer a rustic look or a contemporary feel, plywood can be stained, painted, or finished to achieve the desired aesthetic. It can seamlessly blend with different interior themes, allowing you to create a personalized space that reflects your unique style and taste.

4. Easy Installation: Saving Time and Effort

One of the advantages of plywood flooring is its relatively simple installation process. Plywood sheets are available in standard sizes and can be easily cut to fit any room. They can be installed over existing subfloor or concrete slabs, eliminating the need for extensive floor preparation. This makes the installation process faster and more convenient, saving both time and effort.

5. Environmental Sustainability: A Responsible Choice

In today's world, environmental sustainability is a crucial consideration for many homeowners. Plywood flooring is an eco-friendly option as it is made from renewable and sustainable wood sources. By choosing plywood flooring, you contribute to the conservation of forests and reduce your carbon footprint. Additionally, plywood can be recycled, further minimizing its impact on the environment.

Plywood Flooring vs. Other Flooring Options

To fully understand the benefits of plywood flooring, it is essential to compare it with other popular flooring options available in the market. Let's explore how plywood flooring fares against hardwood flooring, laminate flooring, and tiles.

Plywood Flooring vs. Hardwood Flooring: The Battle of Aesthetics

While both plywood and hardwood flooring offer a natural and elegant look, there are some significant differences to consider. Plywood flooring provides similar aesthetics to hardwood but at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, plywood is more resistant to moisture and temperature changes, making it suitable for areas prone to high humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Hardwood flooring, on the other hand, requires more maintenance and may be prone to warping or shrinking in moisture-rich environments.

Plywood Flooring vs. Laminate Flooring: Balancing Cost and Durability

Laminate flooring has gained popularity due to its affordability and resemblance to natural wood. However, when compared to plywood flooring, it falls short in terms of durability. Plywood is more resistant to scratches, dents, and moisture, making it a better choice for areas with heavy foot traffic. Additionally, plywood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, allowing you to restore its original appearance. Laminate flooring, on the other hand, cannot be refinished and may need replacement after a certain period.

Plywood Flooring vs. Tiles: A Battle of Practicality

Tiles have long been a popular choice for homeowners due to their durability and ease of maintenance. However, plywood flooring offers several advantages over tiles. Plywood provides a warmer and more comfortable surface to walk on, especially during the colder months. It also offers better sound insulation, reducing noise transmission between floors. Moreover, plywood is less prone to cracking or chipping compared to tiles, making it a more practical choice for households with active lifestyles.

Q3: Does plywood flooring require special maintenance?

Plywood flooring is relatively low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild cleaning solution are usually sufficient to keep it clean.

Q4: Can plywood flooring be refinished?

Yes, plywood flooring can be refinished. However, the number of times it can be refinished depends on the thickness of the top veneer layer.

Q5: Is plywood flooring resistant to termites?

While plywood is generally resistant to termites, it is still important to take preventive measures, such as proper sealing and regular inspections, to protect against termite infestations.

Q6: Can plywood flooring be used in areas with high moisture?

Plywood flooring can be used in areas with high moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, as long as it is properly sealed to protect against water damage.

Conclusion

Plywood flooring has proven to be a durable, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing option for Bangalore homes. Its unique combination of advantages, including durability, affordability, versatility, and environmental sustainability, make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to enhance their living spaces. Whether you're renovating your existing home or constructing a new one, consider plywood flooring as a viable option that offers long-lasting beauty and functionality.

When it comes to transporting valuable equipment, whether it’s musical instruments, camera gear, or high-tech equipment, the right flight case is crucial for ensuring its safety. A flight case, or road case, is designed to protect fragile equipment during travel with reinforced materials and cushioning. However, many individuals and businesses are tempted to opt for cheaper flight cases, drawn by the lower price tags. While this may seem like an affordable option, is it truly worth it? Let’s examine the risks and advantages of choosing a cheap flight case compared to a high-quality, reliable one.

What is a Flight Case?

A flight case is a protective case used to transport delicate and expensive equipment. It’s typically constructed from strong materials such as plywood, aluminum, or plastic, with foam padding inside to cushion and secure the contents. These cases are commonly used by musicians, photographers, technicians, and anyone who frequently travels with valuable equipment that needs protection from bumps, drops, and other hazards during transit.

The Allure of Cheap Flight Cases

The attraction of cheap flight cases is clear. They are marketed as affordable solutions for protecting your equipment while offering basic features like padded interiors and secure closures. In India, for instance, a high-quality flight case can range from ₹7,000 to ₹30,000, depending on the size and level of protection required. On the other hand, budget-friendly flight cases can cost anywhere from ₹2,500 to ₹7,000, making them an appealing option for those on a tight budget.

For someone who is just starting out with gear transport or needs a case for occasional use, the idea of a cheaper option might seem like a no-brainer. After all, why spend more when a less expensive case promises similar protection at a fraction of the cost?

How Loft Boarding Can Increase Your Home's Storage Capacity

When it comes to optimizing your home’s storage, few solutions are as efficient and practical as loft boarding. Homeowners often struggle with clutter, limited storage space, and the daunting task of organizing their belongings. Loft boarding presents a smart, space-saving solution that not only enhances the functionality of your home but also adds to its value. Let’s explore how loft boarding can revolutionize your storage game.

What Is Loft Boarding?

Understanding the Basics

Loft boarding involves installing sturdy boards across the joists in your loft space, creating a usable platform. This platform can then be utilized for storage or even as an additional functional space, depending on your needs.

Why Choose Loft Boarding?

Many homes come with underutilized lofts. Without proper flooring, these spaces remain impractical and unsafe for storage. Loft boarding transforms your loft into an organized, accessible area while protecting the structural integrity of your home.

Benefits of Loft Boarding

1. Maximizing Storage Space

Loft boarding is an excellent way to tap into your home’s hidden potential. By converting an unused loft into a storage haven, you can declutter your living spaces. Whether you need a place for seasonal items, old furniture, or sentimental belongings, a boarded loft provides ample room.

2. Increased Home Value

A professionally boarded loft can enhance your property’s market appeal. Potential buyers are often drawn to homes with practical storage solutions, and a functional loft can set your property apart.

3. Improved Energy Efficiency

Did you know loft boarding can contribute to better insulation? With proper installation, it helps retain heat during colder months, reducing energy costs and keeping your home cozy.

4. Enhanced Accessibility and Safety

Adding loft boarding makes your loft safer to access and navigate. No more worrying about stepping through fragile ceilings! Install features like loft ladders or lighting to further improve accessibility.

5. Customizable Storage Options

Loft boarding isn’t one-size-fits-all. You can tailor it to suit your specific storage needs. From full flooring to partial boarding for insulation access, you have the flexibility to decide what works best for your home.

The Loft Boarding Process

1. Assessment and Planning

The first step is evaluating your loft space. Professionals will assess the structural integrity of the joists, the headroom, and insulation needs. This stage is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with building regulations.

2. Selecting the Right Materials

Choosing durable, lightweight materials is essential for effective loft boarding. Common options include moisture-resistant chipboard, plywood, or specific loft panels designed for easy installation.

3. Installation

Installation involves carefully laying the boards across the joists. If insulation is present, a raised boarding system can be used to avoid compressing it, maintaining its thermal performance.

Factors to Consider Before Loft Boarding

1. Structural Integrity

Ensure that your loft can handle the added weight of the boards and stored items. A professional inspection can help identify any necessary reinforcements.

2. Building Regulations

Compliance with building regulations is essential. Improperly installed loft boards can lead to structural damage or safety risks. Always work with certified professionals.

3. Insulation Compatibility

If your loft has insulation, it’s vital to ensure that loft boarding won’t compromise its effectiveness. Raised systems or specialized products are often recommended.

4. Ventilation

Maintaining proper airflow in your loft is crucial to preventing condensation and mold. Ensure your loft boarding setup doesn’t block ventilation pathways.

Functional Uses for a Boarded Loft

1. Storage for Sports and Outdoor Gear

If you have hobbies that require bulky equipment, like skiing, camping, or cycling, a boarded loft provides a perfect place to store these items during the off-season. It keeps them protected and out of your main living areas.

2. Archive for Personal and Family Records

A boarded loft can act as an archive for old photographs, important documents, or cherished family memorabilia. Use weatherproof storage boxes to keep these items safe and organized.

3. Pet Supplies and Accessories

If you’re a pet owner, you likely have supplies like crates, carriers, toys, or seasonal gear for your furry friends. A boarded loft can serve as a dedicated storage area for these items, keeping your home clutter-free.

Loft Boarding: DIY or Professional Installation?

DIY Loft Boarding

If you’re confident in your skills and understand the requirements, DIY loft boarding can be a cost-effective option. However, it’s crucial to avoid shortcuts that could compromise safety.

Professional Installation

Hiring experts ensures that your loft boarding is safe, efficient, and compliant with regulations. Professionals also have access to specialized tools and materials for a seamless installation.

Costs of Loft Boarding

Factors Affecting Costs

Loft Size: Larger lofts naturally require more materials and labor.

Materials: High-quality boards and raised systems may cost more but offer better durability.

Additional Features: Adding ladders, lighting, or insulation can increase overall expenses.

Is It Worth the Investment?

Loft boarding is a cost-effective solution that delivers long-term benefits. Not only do you gain additional storage space, but you also add value to your home.

Tips for Maintaining a Boarded Loft

Organize Your Belongings: Use labeled boxes and stack items carefully to maximize space.

Avoid Overloading: Be mindful of weight limits to prevent damage to the boards or joists.

Regular Inspections: Check for signs of wear, moisture, or pests and address issues promptly.

Keep It Clean: Periodically clean your loft to maintain a tidy, functional space.

Conclusion

Loft boarding is an innovative solution that can transform underutilized space into a practical storage area. Whether you’re looking to declutter, increase your home’s value, or create a functional new area, loft boarding offers endless possibilities. By investing in a professional installation and maintaining your boarded loft, you can enjoy its benefits for years to come.

FAQs

1. Is loft boarding suitable for all homes?

Loft boarding can be installed in most homes, but it’s essential to assess the structural integrity and headroom availability beforehand. Consulting a professional can help determine if your loft is suitable.

2. Can loft boarding damage insulation?

If installed improperly, loft boarding can compress insulation and reduce its effectiveness. Raised systems are recommended to protect insulation while providing a stable platform.

3. How long does it take to install loft boarding?

The installation time varies depending on the loft size and complexity. On average, a standard loft can be boarded in 1–3 days.

4. Do I need planning permission for loft boarding?

Planning permission is generally not required for loft boarding. However, if you plan to use the loft as a habitable space, building regulations may apply.

5. Can I still access my loft’s utilities after boarding?

Yes, access panels or removable sections can be included during installation to ensure utilities remain accessible for maintenance.

By embracing loft boarding, you’re not just increasing storage capacity—you’re enhancing your home’s overall functionality and value. Why let valuable space go to waste? Start planning your loft boarding project today!
