HOT OFF THE PRESSES

My article 'Preserve your Garden Memories' just debuted in 'Country Gardens' magazine on newsstands, early spring 2015 edition. The article describes four of my garden collages and how I made them. Above, 'New York Memories', which includes cut and torn photos of plants in 'my' rooftop garden in NYC; dried rose hips, pressed hydrangea and marigold petals, Aronia and Virginia creeper berries, and other assorted goodies in a found frame. Except for the ginko leaves, all  plant material was borrowed from the  garden I tended for my condo building.

'Traditional Canterbury' above honors the town in NH where my daughter and son-in-law live and where I go to scratch my itch to weed a big garden.  The town center encompasses one white steepled church with parish house, one white bandstand, a town hall, library, and country store. The Shaker village is sited a few miles away from the town center. Traditional as it is, the townspeople approved a solar collector farm to power the public buildings. See photo near top right. In this collage, I combined parts of photos with birch bark and twigs.

One of my fave NYC garden spaces and one of my fave collages (now in the collection of Diane and Gary Hitzemann). Like the other two collages above, I combined pieces of many images I captured on and around the High Line with real dried plant material. In the case of public gardens I never borrow plant material; but I did cut leaves of northern sea oats which grow on the High Line, from the garden I tended on my roof top. Since March 2014 I live in Exeter NH near the coast. My latest collages reflect my own change of venue.

No photos here; but torn paper, fabric, wool and discarded paper I found in the recycling bins of my NYC condo and actually paid to move to Exeter. My interest in trash has no bounds.

Ok, who's going to help me write SFTH fanfic of Peter Steven (from 'The Milkman'), Priscilla (from 'Priscilla's Final Petal') and Inga (from 'Marigolds, Bluebells and Hugh') at boarding school together?

(let's ignore chronology and timeline for a bit-)

The SFTH-verse children need friends and I want to see them defeat the creepy singing-teacher from the Milkman. I'm 99% sure she was the one who made Inga wear marigold gloves and do The Slappy Dance in Lederhosen. I imagine Priscilla would be a bit uptight at first because of the familial pressure to excel as a prodigy, and I need to see her realise it's ok to just goof off and be a kid. I need to see Toby screaming from The Room. I need to see Inga making Priscilla's gruelling piano practice more fun by doing ridiculous accompanying dances (I hc that she does like dancing, and the horrid teacher decided to make a caricature of her hobby). I need Peter Steven to find comfort in a place away from home. I need to see him bring the best. milk. ever. to school and share it with the others while they have a midnight celebration.

Then Inga goes home for a few weeks and when she comes back, she brings a new student with her. She says his name is Hugh. Priscilla decides to take her friends to visit her home during the next vacation. Hugh is blown away by their enormous garden and has tons of fun picking flowers with Priscilla while Inga infodumps about their scientific names and how to care for them (her dad is a florist, after all). Then they all play games and Peter finally gets to see what it is to run about in a garden with nobody's stern voice telling him to go back inside. He wins every race because of his height and long legs and the others are just so happy to see him so joyful.

Do you- do you get my vision?

final part of SFTH plays as Siken quotes!!

plays 23-38~

BEETROOTS AND MURDER "Shame means you're guilty, like the rest of us, but you think you're better than us. Maybe you are." (self-portrait against red wallpaper - War of the Foxes)

SUSAN'S HOLIDAY "The yard is dark, the tomatoes are next to the whitewashed wall, the book on the table is about Spain, the windows are painted shut." (seaside improvisation - Crush)

THE EVIL MAKE-A-WISH KID "A man with a bandage is in the middle of something. Everyone understands this. Everyone wants a battlefield. Red. And a little more red. Accidents never happen when the room is empty." (detail of the fire - War of the Foxes)

PRISCILLA'S FINAL PETAL "Hold onto your voice. Hold onto your breath. Don't make a noise, don't leave this room until I come back from the dead for you. I will come back from the dead for you." (you are Jeff - Crush)

THE MYSTERY OF THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS "This is not your problem. You have your own body to deal with. The lamp by the bed is broken. You are feeling things he is no longer in touch with." (a primer for the small weird loves - Crush)

CAESAR & JULIET "We were in the gold room, where everyone finally gets what they want, so I said 'What do you want, sweetheart?' and you said 'Kiss me.' Here I am leaving you clues. Here I am singing while Rome burns." (snow and dirty rain - Crush)

WINE UNDER THE BRIDGE "And everyone secretly wants to collaborate with the enemy, to construct a truer version of the self. How much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it's some kind of murder?" (portrait of Fryderyk in shifting light - war of the foxes)

THE UNRELENTING AUBERGINE "Names of spells and names of hexes, names cursed quietly under the breath, or called out loudly to fill the yard, calling you inside again, calling you home." (saying your names - Crush)

THE LIGHTHOUSE "The walls were strong, the nails: reliable. The room grew darker or lighter depending on the placement of the lamps; the hands of his hands alluding to a secret world beyond the frame he shouldn't have any knowledge of." (the field of rooms and halls - War of the Foxes)

MURDERS IN SPACE "History is a little man in a brown suit trying to define a room he is outside of. I know history. There are many names in history, but none of them are ours." (little beast - Crush)

MARIGOLDS, BLUEBELLS & HUGH "Crown yourself with leaves and stake your claim before something smears up the paint. I turned away from darkness to see daylight, to see what would happen. What happened? What does a man want? Power." (landscape with a blur of conquerors - War of the Foxes)

MOIST & MAGICAL "Anything past the horizon is invisible, it can only be imagined. You want to see the future, but you can only see the sky." (road music - Crush)

BURGLARY & BOBSLEDDING "We collide with place, which is another name for God, and limp away with a permanent injury. Ask for a blessing? You can try, but we will not remain unscathed." (landscape with fruit rot and millipede - War of the Foxes)

TOBY'S SECRET POCKET "They want to stop but they can't stop. They don't know what they're doing. This is not harmless, the how to touch it, we do not want the screen completely lifted from our eyes, just lifted long enough to see the holes." (the dislocated room - Crush)

BALLET ON THE BATTLEFIELD "The entire history of human desire takes about seventy minutes to tell. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of time. Forget the dragon, leave the gun on the table, this has nothing to do with happiness." (litany in which certain things are crossed out - Crush)

THE PHANTOM OF HORNCHURCH "I'm not sure why I do it, but in this version you are not feeding yourself to a bad man against a black sky prickled with small lights. I take it back. These wooden halls with caskets. These terms from the lower depth. I take them back." (litany in which certain things are crossed out - Crush)

I'm gonna be so mad if something eats the fucking strawberry I'm waiting to ripen before I can get to it. They got the last one and it wasnt even fully ripe! You little fucker!! Theres a few flowers still blooming due to the hot weather continuing (god help us) which is funny and I do enjoy watching the strawberries grow from flower to berry but... I'd like the animals to stop eating them first :(

[mekha-draws]

finall working on the custom I wanted to do for the Altar lol

if you will excuse me, I'll proceed to kill myself figuring out wtf I meant by this

[queen-in-gold]

do you have any tattoos like the other midases?

I guess you could say I'm rather plain and boring, but I don't have any tattoos, no.

Although if I were going to get one, I'd like a marigold flower tattoo. 🌼

So...I went to a pony con in Milwaukee over the weekend. It gave me a chance to do some sketches for myself and friends.

In the first row, there's @outofworkderpy and then the con mascot basically being my mouthpiece for the weekend.

The second row features a birthday card for a good friend, with his new waifu eating his cake. Tough break.

Then we have Twisted Sketch pone and a smiling Marigold to finish it out.

The best part of the weekend was seeing that people still remember who I was and still liked me, which is a major thing after the stressful year I've had.

And the good, lots of great restaurants.
