ON IN FIVE

        We've been eating this brand of Moose Tracks for a couple of years now.  And for a while now, I've noticed figure after figure trying to get my attention.  And as anyone who knows me can tell you, I look for rescues like this; characters who want a way out of the illustration and into "our world". 

         I recognize this when I begin to visualize a character in a variety of poses, positioning or other indicators. I interpret this as a desire or even a longing to get out.  It is then, that I get out my scissors and commence to clipping away the ties that bind my new friends from their existence, in order to join them to ours.  Please welcome these sisters into our world.

DELICADA

 Flowers and shapes in varied colors...mmmm - Oh, wait.  This flowery composition isn't what it seems.  The title I've chosen for this piece is based on its delicate array of colors.  The split near its center has its reason, as does the creepiness at upper right.  This unique slice of delicious pizza made me think of two sides representative of so many aspects of nature. 

THE BOSS'S CELEBRATION

     A boss who truly has the integrity to follow his good intentions without deviation, deserves a  celebration.  I noticed this leader enjoying the fruits of his achievements and decided to cut the scene from the pizza that brought them to me, and bring it here for your enjoyment.

THE DEADLINE

                                                                   Yeah! It's frustrating.  

                                            And it may raise a little anger.  But, sometimes all 

                                                you need is a little push over the finish line.

NEST OCCUPIED

There's no empty nest here.  A bowl of cereal, some flakes  - All do a comfy nest make.  Remember the saying  - "When God gives you lemons"? - Well, when God gives you milk and cereal - Bam!
 

MY MIX

      Sculpting in wood and plaster took up much of my time a few years ago.  But, I guess I needed to shift gears and take other directions.  My writing and pareidolic interests took the wheel and I went that-a-way, as I let fate dictate the course.  This blog reflects some of those twists and turns.  I loved sculpting wood and plaster.  

       But, new directions are the order in my life.  While my writings and pareidolia are in the forefront, my music is seeping into the mix.  Look around, I've got more short stories coming; possibly some excerpts from my book. (See above)

FAMILY GATHERING

Family gatherings can be joyous.  But, who's going to take care of the baby, while the mother takes a much needed break to dance?!  If anyone needs a break, surely it's her!

TASTING

On the back of a frozen pizza box, an illustration pictured toppings lying on a wooden table.  And after some time of turning and viewing, the above vision began to materialize, as I worked my scissors to reveal a figure.  The figure appeared to be tasting something; likely something of the pizza inside the box.
 

ART EXHIBIT

 Just a note to let you know that a selection of my work has been accepted into the virtual art exhibit of the Luzerne County Community College's art collection in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, one of my alma maters.

LOUNGING ON A PILBOT

         He used to live on the back of a pizza box when I found him. We placed the actual pizza in the oven.  It was delicious.  Later on, I cut him loose from the illustration on the back of the box among some of the ingredients. You can see how glad he was that I brought him out to venture into our world.  He looks really happy to me.
