book

Paint, A Manual of Pictorial Thought & Practical Advice

I am reading it today

A messy rambling book both in its images, text and layout, but interesting and inspiring in that it makes it all look doable.

This is from the Amazon site, and puts it well:

From Library Journal:

Most art manuals tend toward large, impressive photos with little text. This one is packed with 1500 illustrations and an unusually rich text. Camp’s style tends to personal observation, autobiographical touches, references to art history, and fresh inspiration. A teacher at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and a member of the Royal Academy of Arts, he believes in copying from masters but avoiding academic dryness. Libraries should also consider his previous, excellent work Draw: How To Master the Art (DK, 1994).

Microformats

Here is my hCard – that is my address details in a Microformat created here. If you have the Operator add-on for Firefox it will give you options of things you can do with this, such as import it into your contacts.

Why am looking into this?

I’d like to make an Art Net using microformats …. ask me more if you are interested.

Shoalhaven Art

I have a nasty feeling as I surf the web that I should be working or creating, but if I had done that I would not have found Patrick Shirvington’s art or learned about the Arthur Boyd residency.  Now:  https://www.bundanon.com.au/

I love the Shoalhaven River in NSW, Australia – one of my favourite places. I canoed down it when I was in my late teens and also went on a few bushwalking trips. I enjoyed a video recently of Arthur Boyd doing huge plein air on the river. It is a place where I would love to go & do art!

Images follow. Both of them inspire me to keep going with my landscapes, and I need a bit of inspiration on that right now.

Excellent article on Peter Doig

Guardian

Charles Saatchi came to some of Doig’s early shows, in pubs and odd spaces, but he never bought anything. The press was full of articles about the death of painting, but Doig, who by now had a wife whom he’d met at St Martin’s and the first of their five kids, trusted those obituaries were exaggerated.

Perhaps one consequence of his rootless childhood was a hoarder’s habit: he was a great collector of images and scraps of things, taking Polaroids, hanging on to bits of strangeness he saw. In London, he often went to Canada House on Trafalgar Square to raid its library of travel brochures, trying to make some sense of his memories of adolescence in Toronto. In contrast to the slickness of the art that was making headlines, he had a desire to make paintings that were resolutely ‘homely’, often literally so: a recurring obsession in his work were colloquial suburban and rural houses, glimpsed from across roads or through trees, domestic images so singular that they shift, like David Lynch scenes, into the territory of uncanny.

Dame Edna – Barry Humphries – Art Online

This is innovative!

Barry Humphries will go head to head with his alter ego, Dame Edna Everage, tomorrow in a public battle for artistic appreciation. The 73-year-old Australian star, who is recovering from peritonitis that almost killed him earlier this month, has decided to go ahead with the launch of his innovative online art gallery. Humphries has painted seriously since his teens and has agreed to be at the centre of a new art project that will allow internet users not just to download his work for free, but to alter it.

Free paintings and the right to alter them. I wonder if you can also sell them on!

I am interested as my own copyright is loose, but more restricted.

There is one difference, he has the original, in the case of my digitals you can access the actual original. (ask me for the URL)

I am looking forward to seeing these, when I find them I will make another post.

About – archival

This is the ABOUT page from maybe 15 years ago. I’m thinking of updating it substantially – so posting it here – Saturday, 27 January, 2018 but back dated to 2008

~~~

In the Psyberspace blog my interest in psyche interacts with my interest in cyberspace. Here I reflect about the nature and development of psychotherapy, Psychodrama, and particularly psychotherapy online, the psychological nature of cyberspace, interaction online and many only obscurely related items.

Psyber

The category Psyber is the main one for this blog.

Journal

I write personal notes. Life story. I add them to the Journal category. While there is a central “psyber” theme to this blog, it is also my MAIN blog.

Whatever else I do I will keep tabs and tags on it here in psyberspace.

Other favourite categories

World – Occasionally I am moved to get political!

Movies

Books

Tech – anything geeky that is not particularly psychological.

Psyche – anything psychological that is not particularly cyber related

Art

My exploration of psyberspace took graphical turn in 2006-7 and I did a Thousand Sketches, a project I completed in one year. I now blog my art work at http://walterlogeman.com/art I show case my art work in an online Gallery.

Writing
I have been writing about psyberspace for years, and also about Psychodrama and other things. Storage online  has got a bit messy over the years but I am working on making the Writing page on this blog the clearing house for all that I have online.
