Old drawings

I came across these older drawings (probably did them last year) while cleaning up my harddrive. These are similar to the ones I posted last month in the use of basic office supplies and the balance between representation and abstraction. Images from left to right are: 1) A drawing of the wine shop from the desk at which I sat. 2) A drawing of a business card from a wine rep. 3) A phone message turned into a drawing. 4) A line drawing using various office supplies. 5) A U.O.ME/"Deathstar"esque abstract drawing. 6) A drawing of a missle fired from a silo. These were about 9" x 4" each.

I am back at work on new drawings and will post soon.

Stephen Duffy - Because We Love You

Track listing:

Kelly J. Kitches is getting married!!!! And all she wanted was "Something Special" by Stephen Duffy to play at the reception. And who was able to finally deliver it for her?? Yours truly.

This was one of my early favorites. Stephen Duffy actually founded Duran Duran with Nick Rhodes and John Taylor. He left to pursue a solo career and Simon Le Bon was added to the line up. I can't say it was an unwise move on Duffy's part. I think, musically, Duffy was brilliant. Yes, Duran Duran became mega-stars and sold out ("sold out") arenas all over the world, but listen to "Julie Christie" and you'll see what I mean. Long live Duffy.

The Bush Administration's Failed North Korea Policy

Democrats.org has a post called "The Bush Administration's Failed North Korea Policy" that's worth checking out...

Over the last four years, the Bush Administration has outsourced our diplomacy with North Korea to other nations and failed to take the lead in making sure America remains safe and secure. Today's announcement is further evidence that President Bush has taken his eye off the ball, allowing a member of the so-called ‘axis of evil’ to allegedly test a nuclear weapon.

While I think Dean focuses too much on the idea of 'outsourcing' as the worst part of Bush's policy, it is important to note the continued failures of the current administration. It is obvious, when compared to the Clinton approach to diplomacy, they are NOT the party to make the world more secure.
