Ten Years On

On the 31st of May 2007 I started a blog

which started out as a way to share images.

Soon, this grew into three separate blogs which 

I later streamlined into one called ArtSkoolDamage.

I still get a lot of enjoyment out of sharing

images of my day to day life, movements, 

work in progress, finished artwork, pictures

of events I attend and things that fascinate me.

Blogging has served as a visual journal

and it has also connected me to others

 who share some of my cultural interests.

Thanks to EVERYONE who has been a part

of this, either by visiting quietly or reaching out.

The pictures, themes and journey continues...

Happy 60th Birthday Siouxsie!

Thank you for decades of great music

and an unforgettable face to face moment.

A day with Kristen and Steve 

is always effortlessly magical...

Aesthetic: Cult Leader

Bag 'em and tag 'em.

Route 22 gets me.

Lower East Side synagogue which tragically burned 

soon after I took these images from inside a taxi cab.

Pink dusk of Springtime.

A visit to Parsons, my alma mater.

Farewell, Sir Roger Moore. 

Mission Accomplished, 007... Cheers.

Town & Country: Speeding Towards Summer

Streets, courtyards and gardens have

a little bit more life in them these days...

Dad, my buddy Steve and I 

helped wish Mom a great Mother's Day.

Oh, and of course Chancey was there too.

43 years into their career, 

Blondie released a fresh-sounding, 

largely upbeat new album called Pollinator.

It's been in heavy rotation in my house and car.

New York continues to be

what New York continues to be.

Back at work, another Senior Art Show

brought out friends, family and many alumni...

The day after, all was calm again...

Longer days means more time outside...

Flora and fauna in the park 

continue to flower and flourish.

Scott blew out 48 birthday candles

and Steve and I helped him celebrate.

A year and a day after meeting last year's 

Pleasant Valley Park goslings, three new peeps

emerged by the pond. Ma and Pa Goose let me get

very close, which leads me to believe that it's the 

same pair that reared their young here last year. 

In other news, things are starting

to wind down around the art studios...

Like everyone else around me, 

I think I'm just ready for summer.
