Here are the books I blogged in 2007 on Thousand Sketches.
I am reading a few at the moment so watch the Book Category In this moment…
Between Projects, and here is a Circle
I have completed an Earth Crosses series (more in the next post), it was something that grew out of the Thousand Sketches, so right at this moment there is no project. Plenty of work! Maintaining my blogs and setting up thumbnails and so on but I am in a creativity vacuum. This circle is a reflection on a moment.
One reason for the space is that I am reflecting on where I go.
Photos are on my mind. I’ll post a couple.

I was demoing my Toshiba M200 to a friend and this popped out. Call it Caligra he said, as I was about to delete it.
I would have deleted it but for the fact I happen to be working on a few posts about calligraphy, coming up some time soon. I quite like it. So here it is.
2008 – Happy New Year!

Wired Picks Its 10 Favorite 2007 Illustrations
They look ok, but I can’t tell anymore, I am drowning in images. This one stands out.
Riccardo Vecchio captures this context exquisitely in his rich illustration of gene therapy pioneer French Anderson: It looks both modern and traditional, at once.
I am interested in their phrase: “modern and traditional” it looks as if the digital touch makes it modern.

Long Views » Blog Archive » Jon Ippolito and Joline Blais, “At the Edge of Artâ€
Art, like the antibodies in our immune system, creates alien forces in service of the whole. It anticipates threats and models them. It is a diversity agent.
Two forms of that process were explained and shown by Ippolito and Blais: perversion, and execution.
Here is an image of this blog, In this moment… perverted by shredder… It really is of the moment, I’ll do another some time later.
They are saying some interesting things here, diversity agent is a nice phrase, they point to what art can do, but there is more to it, of course. I want to point to the way art reveals the invisible. Their examples show that but they use a biological analogy. I prefer a psychological one, say “royal road” … which takes us beyond the social, functions of art more quickly.
Art sites
I have just added a small portfolio to an art site: “The Art Weblog” the-artists.org, it is a rich site.
I also have some work on FELT some of it won’t come up for a day or so. This is a rather lovely New Zealand online gallery. One of the most tastefully designed place on the net! What makes it hard is to put my stuff on sites that are ugly, complex.
I have some on the Saachi site, which is not so pretty but highly functional!
Scarred Earth
Calligraphy & Flax
I have been thinking about my lines & pleased with this little sketch:
This image is availalable printed in a limited edition. It is available exclusively on Felt, a New Zealand Art & Craft website.
The real studio is a state of mind.
Just stumbled on this again. It is dated. Id answer them diferently.
Thinking About Art: Artists Interview Artists: Walter Logeman
Artists Interview Artists: Walter Logeman
Walter Logeman, an artist from Christchurch, New Zealand, participates in the Artists Interview Artists Project. Below Walter responds to another artist’s five questions (Dwayne Butcher from Memphis, TN). In order to participate, Walter had to provide me with five questions for some other artist to answer. The assigning of questions to artists is completely random.
One answer I gave & that I do like still:
The real studio is a state of mind. Nothing much happens till there is a moment where there is a perfect storm of media, imagination, images and desire flooding together.
