Lady Jane's Miscellany magazine features the work of critically acclaimed poets, dramatists, essayists, short story writers, artists and more! I'm extremely pleased to be the featured artist for their second issue with an interview and several of my recent paintings, especially given the high quality writing of this publication which includes several poets laureate. It's published bi-annually by San Fransisco Bay Press.
The images are in greyscale and include my painting: Dog Deity (2008); Viva Las Shiva (2006); Talk Show (2006); Elsewhere 2 (2008); a detail of Apocalypse the Game (2010); and my portrait of Hillary Rhodam Clinton Chanson de geste:Song of Hillary [pictured bottom left -see Galleries]. Poetry talks to our soul and this is a very very engaging collection of thoughts by talented American poets. I want to thank Jeff at LJM for being such an insighful interviewer. The interview deals a lot with my current work in progress, My Own Private Weltanschauung.
Preview New Paintings
Here is a preview of my painting in progress Forieign Affairs2.0. Literally. it's sitting on my easel right this minute I've been working for a month on this one, it's completed this week. It's a set of 4 canvases that work together and the themes are challenging to balance. 120x90cm. If I said it's only about the Afghanistan war and drone attacks in Pakistan, it wouldn't be entirely correct. It is a broader issue which is leading into the new work. A lot of this painting has just come from my stream of unconscious. Part of what gives me pleasure in my painting is when the meaning in a painting stumps my rational understanding.
