Brassai (Gyula Halasz) Open Gutter From “Paris by Night” (1933)
iPad & art
Well the iPad does not meet my hopes. Not sure even a 2nd gen would do that. I think the philosophy might be flawed. Sad! Or is there something eklse brewing here?
iWishlist
I am looking forward to the Apple Tablet. The main thing I’d want to be able to do is to use it instead of my Toshiba M200 for sketching. I did a Thousand Sketches 2006-7 on the Toshiba M200 which has a Wacom style pen only touch screen. Worked well for me. It is pressure sensitive, and highly responsive. So I hope the Tablet will have something like a pen or better.
A long iWishlist follows.

Circus Archetypes – Tim Boucher
I’ve enjoyed a meander into Tim Boucher’s website this evening. He has a good sense of coex systems and patterns of the psyche.
CIRCUS CHARACTERS, History, Archetypes & Symbolism by Tim Boucher (Dead link)
Internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20100317104050/http://circuscharacters.org
The circus is a place where dreams and reality intersect, where the limits of human ability and perception are tested and surpassed. It is a place of escape from the everyday (to “run away and join the circus”), a place of spectacle & entertainment, and a proving ground for the human imagination. In this article, we’ll explore some of the primordial archetypal characters from the circus and carnival tradition, and connect them with pastiche of historical context and symbolic meaning.

David Byrne – Red Book Dialogue
I enjoyed this, like being in on a psychotherapy session – well conducted by Sherry Salman.
Talking Head: David Byrne Discusses Art and Inspiration at the Rubin Museum – WNYC Culture:
Saved the same audio here:
Talking Head: David Byrne Discusses Art and Inspiration at the Rubin Museum Wednesday, December 30, 2009
David Byrne looked like a large awkward bird that had been shaken from its nest when he arrived at the Rubin Museum to take part in the “Red Book Dialogues.” That might have had something to do with the audience that packed the room to see him undergo public psychoanalysis with the Jungian analyst assigned to gently coax him into revealing his unconscious.
A few recent sketches

Art?
This is an image of Edgar Degas.
It began as a self portrait. Was captured in a movie and then I snapped it off the TV – made this using an iphone ap. But is it art? Anyway, I like it.
