Art v. Artifice

Since I am contemplating updating my blogs to a new blogger platform which will really only work with a lot of photos to illustrate the posts, I am tryingto take more illustrative photos than portraits of my artwork.

For my Geekdom post today I needed something to harken back to highschool. One of the nice things about tradition is that traditional tools make it easy to fudge things. This photo is artifice. It was taken today.

I wrote that today to reflect the school experience & honor my favorite English teacher. Simple paper, ink pen and the desk in the background could be a library table at school... could be taken today. Could have been taken 25 years ago.

The art is that it is still an illustration.
