'Libations' was the first StampPop set to be completed with wood stain...I'd say it was successful. See the next evolution with a mixed media piece, one being wood stain, at the next WOCA show June 13th.

The set will be called "Libations" and done with light and dark wood stain with a splash of color, real classy like. Or at least, I'm gonna try.
See you there.

A week old. The way she looks into my eyes. Deep, into my soul, as if our love is telepathic beyond anything and everything. A smirk, a piece of a smile, on the verge of a grin. Is this love? Is this a prediction of our relationship for life?
Or is this just her not being able to see beyond 12 inches and only seeing shapes and contrasting colors? Is THAT a prediction of our relationship for life?

This is like a "guest house" on a property of an old barn somewhere in Big Bear at sundown...I prefer to call it "the Saloon".

This is a poem I wrote about the overwhelming thoughts on a constant loop in my mind...
To blog, or not to blog. That is the question -- of the 21st century. It's a bit of a weird concept that is both booming and passé. To write opinions or findings about topics where people, strangers, read them and follow them. Some do it religiously. Blogs about art, food, music, fitness, and even porn. Reviews on the topics of pop culture. Blogs about being mommy's, and blogs about being daddy's. Reading about their experiences with parenthood. Connecting with the blogger's experiences, or just looking for answers. Blogs can be a form of writing about life. A journal of sorts -- a "Secret Public Journal" according to a certain famous comedian. But blogging IS a weird concept because anybody can do it, AND anybody can read it. It's a realm that gives both professionals and the Everyman a place to be heard.
MY blog, you ask? "Mark - D - all of the above". Something for everyone. I like to write...hopefully you like to read.
