his glorious sanctuary
this post and the next two are some collages i have made in the last few weeks. i thought i would just show you a little bit of what i've been working on. this one i made on a block of wood, the following two are simply on paper. i love making collages, as many of you know. these are scanned images, and they aren't as clear as seeing them in real life. also, the last one is much bigger than the surface area of my scanner, so you are only seeing a portion of the whole collage. anyway, here they are...
random notes of absolutely no interest:
the gators are going to play for the national championship in january. they have been my favorite college football team since high school. i hope they show the world how superior the SEC is by crushing the buckeyes. what kind of a mascot is a buckeye, by the way? isn't it a nut? are we supposed to be intimadated by a team of mixed nuts? like, "look out, there's a nut rolling towards you!" that's just not scary. the steelers won yesterday, but i would rather them lose in a way, since their season is shot, i'd love to see them drop some of these games and get some better draft picks. its all about next year now. i am currently reading a book called "how to read a poem and fall in love with poetry." it is an awesome book that really inspires me. i have been listening to a tune by an australian band called leeland. the tune is called "sound of melodies," and i can't stop repeating it on my ipod. i made an effort to exercise today for the first time in longer than i care to admit. not a great time to start a weight-losing campaign, but i've got to shrink this growing gut. i am watching season two of the show "lost" on dvd. i love that show. if you are a fan, i want to talk to you about it, but i can't yet, because i'm not caught up and i don't want you to spoil anything for me. my friend christina is having twins! jack is watching shrek as i type this. it is his favorite movie. a gator is intimidating. it has a powerful jaw and a pretty good collection of teeth for masticating its prey. that's right: i said masticating. they don't call it poetry for nothing. and in the morning, i'm making waffles!

You have too much time on your hands... But you are using it well! Of course, all of that is about to change with the advent of another baby! :)
Gators are gonna be the real Nutcrackers! :)

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
