Here Come the Warm Jets
I am coming to realize that one element of this work is to ignore my controlling critical analysis. This refers to my different layers bouncing off of each other with a general lack of the global presentation and my written reference to the song I cant get out of my head. It seams important that the Brian Eno song, Here come the Warm Jets is stuck in my head because I heard it as background music on the marketplace report on NPR. O so touchable yet ethereal at the same time. It passed through my mind that this denial of critical control is similar to the denial of many traditional painting esthetics with “Bad Painting” and the east village of the 80’s.

GPS
I started out this mourning trying to come up with a system to organize my files so I can keep up with what I am doing. I am creating so many different versions of images that I am having trouble controlling the flow of how I make things on the computer. Before an hour was up I had started working on two images that were finished and were heading to the printed file. I finally gave up controlling anything while working on Parasite because it fits that work. One layer which was meant to be controlled by another layer would begin to take over. Do I stop and save the image as it is or let it be lost what is happening. I have decided that this tension is just what the images on the computer is all about so I have to live with it. I will try to find a creative GPS but I am afraid that Doris Day takes the control.

Pixel Fetish
I have been very busy working lately on art and art promotion projects. Drawings are always the beginning point for my work and I have been filling a number of sketchbooks. I took photos of a number of them to work with in the computer to prepare for starting some new large paintings. My mind was wondering as usual and Pixel fetish was born from a computer manipulation of a drawing and parts from a computer drawing that was stuck. The horizontal image is a page from “The White Notebook” which was the source for some of Pixel Fetish.
