BFF (Benson First Friday) Poster for April.
You’d never guess from my website but I draw and paint quite a bit in addition to all of the work up here. On a lark I submitted to a local First Friday thing and they accepted my poster. I’m pretty self conscious about my drawing/painting so I was pretty delighted when they accepted it. I made it in illustrator.
Film Shots
I get it an itch every so often to shoot film. I never really take it at all seriously which makes it fun. I don’t really enjoy the process and having to choose my white balance before hand is a massive bore. Still can be a good giggle at times. These are Ilford fp4 and Kodak Ektar shot on a elan 7 and Bronica.
Archives Project Update
I now have all of the scans processed so it’s just a matter of printing them. I have 44 scans but I’m going to pull 3 of them (one for being under aged, two for stylistic reasons). I’d like to hit 50 at least for the show which I should be able to do printing time wise. I have 21 of the large prints done and 30 of the small thank your prints done (5 of which haven’t picked up/dropped off yet).
The pillar is well on it’s way to completion. Sitting on the pillar itself at the moment trying to scrounge up funds for the acrylic part of it to be made. The cube is done and the internals prototyped but not polished up yet.
The text is still where I am lagging the furthest behind. It is really tedious work.
New Work
I’ve been putting photographing any of these until I had a ‘full set’ for the eventual showing of them. I needed a few shots of them for a submission so here we go. They didn’t photograph super well but well enough. You lose a lot of the uncanny appearance that is caused by watching the way light plays across them. Still good enough.
New Photo - Death Valley
I went to Death Valley with two long time friends of mine. We had a marvelous time. Serendipitously we had a full moon for our time there so ended up doing about half of our hikes by moonlight. Death Valley is a park that really shines for night hikes. Badwater was also flooded from snows in the mountains a week and half before. Dante’s view was closed due to ice which was was a drag but everything else we wanted to do was open so I can’t really complain.
I was actually going to leave my gear behind but one of my friends is a photo enthusiast so along it all came. I’ve stopped taking my equipment with on a lot of trips. It’s more enjoyable to not have to worry about it and I don’t really do anything with my landscapes anymore.

New Piece
Finally got around to taking a good picture of this. I made it back in mid-summer. Interestingly it continues to change though. I suspect that isn’t fully cured as the shape and color have both shift some. It shouldn’t be a light issue as I did give it a UV coat to keep it from yellowing with time. Still it should be interesting to see if and how much more it will change with age.
This will eventually have a base but it looks like it may be awhile before I can afford. Looks like Bree will need to have the other knee done which will once again wipe out my disposable income for months.
Archives Project Update
Currently there are 45 usable scans, 29 of which have been processed for printing (above image). Of the 29 processed images 27 have been printed small but only 20 of those have been picked up. Of the 29, 13 have been printed large and are ready for the show.
I’d be way further along on the big prints but blessedly some people have bought their large ones for themselves or family and friends. I also did some experiments to improve print quality that ate a few big heads. So I have actually printed way more big faces but not all of those are ones going to exhibition.
The light source cube is done. I might grind off a layer of it though and re-coat it. I’m trying to make it more UV resistant by coating it. However I have found the coatings to be surprisingly fragile. The stand for the cube is designed and the mock up made. Once I have some more cash after the holidays I’ll have it fabricated.
The text panels for the show are not far along. The text itself has been chosen but needs many hours of formatting to work. The custom font is ready and the prototype for it came out very well.
If you know of someone who would like to be part of this tell them to email me.

Mantis Bas-relief
Here’s a second mantis Bas-relief. I actually finished this ages ago but just didn’t get around to shooting it until today.

Our Voices Group Show - 9/20 Split Gallery
I donated two pieces to a show opening Friday 9/20 6-9p at Brian Wetjen’s Split Gallery here in Omaha NE. One is a triptych of geometric shapes on 4x5 direct paper positives and the other is one of the Mantis Shadows on silver gelatin paper.
The show was instigated and organized by Joan Sangimino. Sales benefit the ACLU of Nebraska.

Make Lincoln 2019
I will once again be at Make Lincoln. This year at my table I will have a bunch of my new technology based work display. I’ll have my praying mantis busts, heads, and tomb. I will also have on display the first batch of full size human faces I am working on for a show later this year. I will be in the indoors part of the event.
Make Lincoln is the coming Saturday and runs 10a-4pm at Trago Park in Lincoln

Slowly ending up with a lot of weird dummy pictures. The nursing school is right next to me and now their office is also next to mine.
