I did not finish the book. It seemed an endless list of name dropping. I may get back to it.

In this Moment
I tried to amalgamate my art blog, “In this Moment…” http://www.walterlogeman.com/art/ with this journal… years ago. Its only partially worked. However he old blog partially exists on The Internet archive. https://web.archive.org/web/20120625192038/http://www.walterlogeman.com/art/.
It looks ok, I’m nostalgic:
Hope this finds you well — Inspiration is a distraction
I enjoy Austin Keon’s stuff — one of the newsletters I have not unsubbed from.
The thing is I get inspired. I’d love to do collage like that – I carry around a paste stick — and use it too!!
But
Inspiration is a distraction.
Keep the focus!
Blogging
We’re in lockdown and I’m into a burst of work on the blog. Addictive. In one of the first posts I took all morning to sniff out art stuff:

The reason I’m attracted to this work is that I think that the very relationships we are discussing here, participatory, with the ego dropped, with heightened awareness of self and other, are also the relationships that are needed between therapist and client, and partners in a relationship.

Why do I have two blogs?
When I finished my ThousandSketches project I wanted to continue making sketches and blogging them. I created In this moment… My art blog In addition to my sketches I added thoughts about art, and a lot of links to art I like and bits of info about artists.
But really it is all Psyberspace! I may as well put it all here. Maybe I could just use ifttt to create links here when I post something on In this moment…. I’ll try that.

I found this a moving Exhibit. In remembrance of people who died in the Christchurch earthquake – on the site where the Oxford Street Baptist Church used to be. I recall campaigning for the church not to be demolished to widen the street in the 80s!

But is it art?
