The "Wright" Stuff


The "Wright" Stuff

A tip of the hat to intrepid fractal artist, poet, and blogger, Terry Wright.

Thanks for the six word review, dude!

Revolution


Revolution

Fly the flag high.

Saw a pic of the Titanic's 3rd class staircase. Didn't know they had one. Maybe it wasn't exactly known as such. Functional, if not quite as fancy as 1st and 2nd.

Move Along, Nothing to See Here


Move Along, Nothing to See Here

There's something about insubstantial art that invites the viewer to fill in the blanks. In my case, I fill them in with, "Why am I trying to envision what the art is supposed to be?! Isn't that what the artist is supposed to be doing for me?!" Haha, yes, I've been had again. The other one is supplying Chopsticks instead of a piano concerto. So there's another part of the art riddle for you: art ... is in ... the arrangement!

(but, but, but, ... I like Chopsticks! Well, Liberace's arrangement of it anyway...)

Statues peer out at you from behind the bushes on the islands of the fractal archipelago.

Communing with the Spirits


Communing with the Spirits

Ambient music is good for that. Listening to the muses. Music. Amusing. The Muse. Spirits.

My favourite amusing lyrics from pop music:

"Nothing came easy, nothing came free, nothing came at all until they... came after me!" - hmmm, then something came alright.

"What I choose... is my choice!" - haha, for a moment there, I thought I was actually getting something - Oh, I dunno, a pearl of wisdom, or something like that.

In a sense, when you appreciate the work of artists and composers who have passed away, you are communing with their spirits.

(lyrics from Alice Cooper and, I think, Smashing Pumpkins respectively)
