My #artAdventCalendar is running a bit late and out of sorts as to be expected so I thought I’d make it up by starting off with a twofer:

Day 1 - Kamakura Lens Flares

#artAdventCalendar Day 3: Venus Anadyomene

from one of my favorite shoots with one of my favorite photo collaborators, fellow CalArtian Leah. I'll probably share more at least couple more from this

(still catching up #spoonie )

This started as a vibes-based plein air, that kept lacking that certain something until I came home and a few months later, boldly went for a contrasting sunset instead of daylight.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 8

One of the few things I miss deeply about living in LA is proximity to my friends to collaborate with.

Where things like this could really be a whim “Hey T, I had an idea for a set! Bring some black and gold costume options... Let’s play.”

Dawn

While working in Tokyo for 9 months, I had a stint of night shift. On my days off, not wanting up upset my sleep schedule, I would go for short night & dawn walks with my cane.

This was one of the most beautiful, even before I had my fun with the colors.

Brief intermission: Have a blanket & seat warmer, northern hemi; soft breeze & cool bevvy, southern hemi.

If you've been enjoying this thread, *and you can comfortably spare it*, maybe buy me a ko-fi?

The last month has been a lot more expensive than expected since I broke my left foot. On top of the additional medical bills for ortho/so many x-rays/medical devices, I've needed a wee bit more therapy (In December 2015 I had the trauma to my lower left extremity that started this whole thing, happy anniversary!), plus food deliveries when I'm home alone/less mobile.

Anything is a huge help, thank you so much:

#artAdventCalendar Day 13

Since it’s a spooky number day in the *darkest* month of the year, I thought I’d mix things up briefly…

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14

Let’s bring some light into this darkest month, shall we? Here’s my first neon sculpture.

#neon #lighting #lightArt #light

@NyxMir love it! From a former neon loving city now so much led which is not epic like neon

@WheresMyWater thank you!! And yes, I love LEDs for what they are able to do when done well, but they’re so different. The noble gasses have such a visceral feel!

I took this class at the Museum of Neon Art in LA (Glendale) and am always so happy to see places like it, public neon display areas in cities, etc 🥲
