Scary Jester-Clown

June 10th, 2008

yeah, you!     Well, he didn’t go on Ebay so now he is on Etsy. com.

What I have in mind….

June 6th, 2008

I want to share my vision for this site in the future.  It is my hope to add other artists’ work periodically and make this more of a collective.  Introducing new artists’ work to the masses.  I want to add more visual arts but I also want to get some potcasts up of local artists that you may not have heard about yet.  I want to connect artists of different mediums, encourage collaboration and be an advocate for the wonderful talent in Atlanta.  If the general public only knew what hidden gems this city holds!  I intent to help them see.

New item listed on EBay

June 6th, 2008

Ok, I needed to try to turn this one around quick so I listed it on ebay for a 3 day auction. If you would like to see “Mr. Scary Jester Clown” he is there now. A 13″ tall, rod puppet hand sculpted from paperclay.

Oh, and If you or anyone you know is going to be in the Sweetwater Creek State Park next weekend (Father’s Day weekend) I will be setting up with a couple of friends there for their craft fair. Come take a look at my jewelry and some hand made Georgia kudzu baskets.

Home of artist Susan Kinney.

It has been a long time coming and a lot of work (thank you Eric Cupo) but it’s finally ready to launch! You who are reading this are my first visitors. I welcome your feedback on anything related to this site as I consider you to be my best advocate to make it into a place you will be happy to tell your friends to look at.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Why Wren’s Eye?

April 28th, 2008

When I was in high school, my nickname was “Rhienzi” (the reasons of which are lost in history), and the name has stuck with me over the years.

 

In Celtic mythology, the wren is considered to be the most sacred of birds. Stories have it that the wren is cunning and became king of the “feathered tribes”; that the wren brought fire to earth from the sun; and wren’s feathers were considered protective objects, taken to sea by sailors.

 

For me, the wren’s bright and shiny eye is bead-like and mysterious.

 

The great Zen master Rinzai, in order to take his students’ attention away from time, would often raise his finger and slowly ask: “What, at this moment, is lacking?”
