A huge disappointment

Posted on April 18, 2013 by kaleidoscopeflux

I’ve had this book for a long time called “A Nature Guide to Alberta”;

I really liked it because it was full of nice images of plants, birds, mammals,

even some really cool insects!

But this morning, I opened up my book and all of the nature was missing.

In its place was a large-scale mining operation. Like any reasonable person, I was very upset. Not just because I can no longer enjoy a book I really liked, but because of how the image made me feel.

I mean, what if this was actually happening?

What if Alberta’s great wilderness was being cut up, desecrated, and sold?

Wouldn’t that be a terrible thing?

But we would never let that happen, right? Right!?

I need to calm down; I’m gonna go for a drive.

How’ll

Posted on April 16, 2013 by kaleidoscopeflux

In distant space and time, we see what we seek,

our senses guiding us through complex tapestries of thought,

exhausting every consonant and vowel.

On a moonlit night, when the time is right,

it would be wise to let out a how’ll.

Bycatch

Bycatch

There are few notions more psychologically disconcerting than that of bycatch;

let’s all do our part to do away with it.

 

Yours in recreation,

Dessert Stand

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Emma Smith

EmmaSmith_1This little buddy is one of my newer pieces – a collection I call “Western Merriment”. This series is a group of objects that delight the everyday with whimsy, wonder and joy. This specific piece is a dessert stand for those days when you are feeling blue, and all you need is a lovely wood-fired porcelain object to eat your tasty morsels off of.

Who wants to eat a lovely cupcake off a regular old plate anyway?

By the way, this guy (or gal) is off to Philadelphia next week to be in a miniatures show called Small Favors. (note the lack of a “u” fellow Canadians?)

Pretty stoked, I am. Let’s hope this Timmy has a safe journey. Fingers crossed.

Smile 'fore the Camera/Keeping the It Together

Long time, no post from me.
Hello buds. Thanks for keeping the art coming from you arttimers.
Here is a drawing. Right Eye is holding up an eyebrow, Lefty drops his and will feel sad for a short spell.
Nose is out of joint..

work in progress

Posted on February 28, 2013 by garbage juice

the world is a toilet

my bowl runneth over

spilling out marigolds and partially digested chunks of meat

on the linoleum floor

 

and sometimes the flesh starts to quiver

twitch

and skitter tenaciously out under the crack of the locked door

and sometimes it’s the marigolds
