Forecast



Dang. All this recent rainy weather, although great for water catchments, not so good for canvas. One of the canvases that had been suffering from sagging has now been stripped from the stretcher. I might wait till tuesday when it's supposed to get warmer again.

'Seem to be sufferring a bit of bad luck with the technical goods. Macbook is doing the whole random shut down thing that so many macbook owners have reported happening. It's a bit annoying, because there's no warning when it happens. No mouse freezing, no spinning beach ball of death... just one big black blank. Though on a positive note, I'm hoping to get a new monitor tomorrow.



I'm watching a Bosch documentary. Fascinating stuff. His paintings are pretty disturbing for medieval times. Incredibly detailed panels of heaven and hell. Trippy stuff. You always see something new in his work. He gave free reign to his imagination, I think even more so than Dali.

Hey,

I was wondering if you can tell me what the name of the Bosch documentary is. I really enjoy his work and remember the one you posted from art history class. Some very amazing stuff. I wish I could let my imagination run as free as his.

Sorry to hear about your macbook. I really love macs, but am sad when I hear people have problems with them. My girlfriend has a macbook too, but hasn't had the shutting down problem. She had some other problem and it had to do with a bad battery. I don't know if that is what may be wrong with yours, but I hope that Apple releases an update soon to fix that.

by the way, I really love that octpussy drawing you did. very nice. And I don't think I would add any acrylic to it. Sometimes the simple black and white is the most beautiful solution.
