Lullaby Moon

If you haven’t heard about Lucia Near and her brilliant productions you have truly been missing out. Last week Gasworks Park was treated to an 1800′s Pageant of Epic proportions! I have been following her productions for over a year now and every time I attend one of her spectacles I feel as though I have been given a beautiful decadent gift of Surreal Whimsy! Thank you Lucia!

Making Lemon Aid out of the lemon that my camera was stolen. This photo was taken with my IPhone using the Hipstamatic App. It is better than nothing but I do miss my Canon G10! This image reminds me of the Dagurerrotypes I did while studying at The International Center on Photography about a million years ago.

PONY

Marcus Wilson is a brilliant man! His creation Pony is the best modern fag bar to open it’s doors in Seattle … Ever!  Yes, Re Bar had is glory days,  but nothing new has come along since then in the neighborhood fag bar department. The visual concept is stunning, sexy, dramatic, the bartenders have a sense of fun and humor. It’s retro sexy images of men from the 70′s era off the pages of  Mandate and Honcho harken back to a time when natural bodies and natural hair were King! I love the realness of these manly men.  Some of the Old School Bars are quite frankly conservative . Yes !!! Even homosexuals can be conservative, and have a hard time thinking outside the box they have placed themselves in or by social construct. Pony is refreshing and modern while tipping it’s cowboy hat to the past. Pony has been open for awhile, so this is not new news how fab the bar is. But I was looking for a photo of the week from my back log of images, as I have not yet replaced the camera that was stolen from me last week, and this one popped out at me. I’m bummed out that customers kept breaking the strobe light in the bathrooms that were syncopated to make a pee stream appears in droplets . Very David Lynch if you ask me.  Marcus told me awhile back that someone had complained about the strobe lights and that they could cause a seizure in a patron…..

August Moon

The moon is hanging full and ripe in the August horizon like some exotic fruit waitng to be plucked and savoured. The air has a high note of chill, telling of the next season to come. The Pyracantha full with berries to feed the birds.

My dear friend Barbara Ireland created the image that you are looking at when she was … 16? 17?

I don’t’ remember, but the point is that because of this poster I met her 30 or so years ago!  I saw it on a phone pole and was intrigued by the image and was drawn from my suburban Hell to the depths of Seattle to attend this event, where I met her and one of my many loves Ben, her brother.

How do we meet people? What brings us to them? Graphics are a powerful tool that convey so much and can speak to us on deep levels or simple convey information. I have always felt strongly about graphics, I studied them at The Cornish Collage of Arts. They are a language in and of themselves. For me it is more than the WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?  Important things yes, But!

I have met some of the most exciting musicians and artist in Seattle …and the World for that matter from Graphics!  I am grateful to have worked with so many amazing graphic designers, some are self-taught some are professionally trained. What matters to me is the language they speak, and I’ve had a few pretty great conversations going on for a while….

Check out my …on going, growing and improving on a daily basis poster page.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

On an early dreary morning last week in my garden Trixie Little and Bambi The Mermaid had an adventure to my “Moonin Fort” wearing little more than Sausage Boas! Sadly they returned back to the East Coast just before the Summer weather returned to us. The blue sky would have added so much to this image.

The Evil Hate Monkey and Bradford Scobie take in The Gum Wall

Taking a break from rehearing and perfoming at The First Annual Seafarer Follies, I took my out of town talent on a Seattle Sight seeing tour which  included one of  The Worlds Top Germiest Attractions The Pike Place Market Gum Wall.  They were mystified and properly discusted and were suprised by it’s odiferous nature…..

This is my new friend August playing with her band “Only Girls Allowed” at the “Girls Rock ! Seattle” Summer Camp 2010 Showcase at Neumos. It was overwhelming to be in there, the room was packed with Young Girls ages 8 –16 and their fans of all ages (mostly female). It struck me as I stood there, that when I was August’s age (9), I was not encouraged to pursue this style of music, nor the instruments that come along with it. In 1969 I wanted to play the Drums and was told girls don’t play drums, that it was un lady like, the response was no better when I suggested the Electric Guitar. I was lucky enough to get a guitar and a songbook but that was as far as that encouraged went and I lost interest being in an isolated creative void, I never got past playing “Yellow Bird” and “ Mellow Yellow”. So needles to say I was moved to the core today to see so many young ladies being supported and so lovingly encouraged in their musical pursuits. I can’t wait to see what this generation of young rockers will bring us in the future…

Driving Topless through the streets of The Little Fishing Village

A Summer Night finally arrives to Seattle! Bastille Day July 14, 2010 catching a ride home  in Chris Ford’s 1966 Polara with Lou Henry Hoover and Deirdre Timmons from The Triple Door after seeing the smoldering Lily Verlaine’s Francophilic production  Nightcap : L’Edition Francaise . The show and the car ride were très magnifique!

I am wearing a Black Ribbon around my neck as I must confess I am a bit of a Royalist and supporter of the now long deceased Marie Antoinette. She was a bit of a scape goat  and  perhaps one day I will share my thought on this subject in great detail. But for now I’ll just say that misogyny has a long and bloody History!
