An old blog called the power of h (I’ve used this several times) that I haven’t added to much lately. More than 2 blogs became quite a task. There are slide shows on it with some of my earlier work.

Ella Fitzgerald Version 2

My second choice for an illustration for a piece on Ella Fitzgerald.

Madonna With Martin Bormann

December 7, 2009

The whole ‘Madonna’ series of paintings in Christian art has been fascinating. She is at the core of what it means to be human. And what it means to be good. She gave birth to the Christ. What if it  had been Martin Bormann, Hitler’s secretary?

This is the longest title I have ever used. And it is one of the most absurd of historical fictions. And yet. Is it possible in some other dimension? In some other possible universe? The image itself might well spin out an entire novel. In the viewer.

Ethel Waters version 2

November 27, 2009

This is the back up illustration for my Ethel Waters piece.

There are 2 iconic figures that I believe will survive the 20th century. They are Marilyn Monroe and Adolf  Hitler. It is not good versus evil. They are both mysteries. One is beauty, but beauty blemished by strange demons. The other is blindness, eyes burned out by obsession.

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist. An optimist believes that the glass is half full. The pessimist wants to know who filled half the glass.

Victor Genova’s Daughter

Victor Genova's Daughter

One of my oldest and dearest friends is Victor Genova. He and Linda have 2 children. Both boys. Both men. This is what I saw as Victor’s daughter if she got his genes. She would have large and clumsy hands. She would be a lot of fun at a party. Intelligent. But hopelessly homely.

Einstein was wrong. We do not live in a space/time continuum. Our bodies live in space. We live in time. All life lives in time. When our bodies cease to function they change their appearance. We do not change our appearance. We disappear. Our time ends.
