American Hell Launched
New site called American Hell has launched.
Daily posting of a drawing - mostly figurative - juxtaposed with scribbled words. Single panel cartoons of a sort, focused on love, technology, animals, consumer affairs, and stuff I can't think how to label.

Blue Sky Image
If anybody is looking for the large Blue Sky image, note that I intermittently swap it out because of bandwidth abuses.
It has been restored for now, and you'll find it in this original Blue Sky post Just please, if you are intending to use it, take it, and put it wherever you put your images; don't hotlink to it on my site or when I swap it out you'll end up with a background that is not a nice Blue Sky. Who knows what I might put there in its stead.

A Week is a Long Time in Art
Talking Squares will be returning, but it will be with a new engine behind it, and it will be wearing all nice new clothes. And then we can go motoring again.

Break
To remove the last piece of dependency on third party server support, Talking Squares will continue to NOT be updated for another week or so, as upgrades are implemented.
Sorry about this, but we'll get along better in the long run.

It's almost time. Call me
Things are rather hectic on the web front, but there's nothing like a deadline to move things along, so, the Free Paintings thing will happen in June.
Meanwhile, if you need to call me at all, well give it a go and see what happens. Things are changing, though should you not be nice I will likely hang up.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend - ours was truly fabulous (until the phone rang). I'll talk to ya.

Closer to Free
So what happened to free paintings? They're coming. Honest. What I'm doing is organizing a major sale of my paintings with in the region of 80% off, to coincide with (or immediately follow) the free thing, while not diluting the free thing in any way.
So I have to come up with the list of x paintings that are free, and y paintings that are on sale (which just might be everything else), and devise how to pick who gets the free paintings in a transparent way.
The primary focus will be on the free thing because I thought of that first, but I would like to be able to pay the rent next month. The free ones I will pay the shipping for, and they will go to anywhere in the world (please don't live in New Zealand :) ) Whatever the heck happens I should get to learn a lot.
Oh, and you'll get to hear about it before anybody else, because, as you know, you are special.

A Web Conversation
Seems like I keep falling asleep mid-post, and my control panel is a graveyard of half-drafted entries. I must do better. Still, that said it was nice of you to drop by today - made this whole web conversation thing seem more like a conversation.
I need to do a big photo session so I can share with you some current projects. Things are always happening you know - even if we don't talk like we used to.
Soon enough it will really be the summer and I'll be up to my neck in paintings I'm trying to give away, so I guess things are changing for both of us. Still, don't lose touch - dare I be a pain and say it again, but feeds you know. Feeds. You'd be able to do more, and even more, without taking more time. And all while the kids are eating their breakfast.
Oh well, I better head, I have work for five clients to be done today, and somewhere in there I'd like to paint. You see I have this great idea to do with strings.
Catch ya tomorrow?

Tiles of London' Underground
Talking of squares, it should be obvious I like tiles. Too much.
I can look at mosaics all day, which come to think of it isn't very long, so I can actually look at them for longer. But I can also look at just tiles for hours. Plain tiles. Little one square inch green tiles covering a bathroom, or larger black ones surrounding a bath, or glazed white ones on a porch pillar, etc.
My business project in college, for Finance & Accounting no less, was for tables topped with tiles that would be homemade and fired. That was a long time ago and I never actually made such a table though they appear to be ten a penny nowadays.
Once upon a time I spent many nights with a razor blade unveiling a tiled fireplace that had been horribly painted over for years.
While the London Underground doesn't compete with Moscow's for beauty, I've always liked the Tube. Because of its tiles. But somebody else like it more. Much more. The last few days I've enjoyed the London Underground's Edwardian Tile Patterns on DougRose.co.uk You might too. Makes me want to go to London.

Wrapped Paintings
Once I wrapped paintings up for transport from Britain to Ireland. The wrapping I used was industrial cling film, and it was coloured blue.
I liked it so much I didn't unwrap the paintings for years - until I had to sell one. All through those years I decided that one day I would paint pictures with the intention of then heavily wrapping them in a coloured cling-film (saran wrap). As in, to be sold and hung that way.
Well I am now. Kind of. I'm just starting small. And I'm using envelopes, glasine envlopes. I like it a lot. It also lets me play around with iteration which I like.I'll show you, one of these days when I don't fall asleep mid-post.
Have a nice enough day. We'll talk later.

Mothers Day USA
Since you are a mother I hope your day is what you deserve all the days of the rest of the year. And I do hope it is your day.
I did a card for you in my head. Again.
