~ Networked

~ Liquid Stone

- (click image for a larger view)

Coming soon to Art166.com.

The backstory -

I'm "calling in sick" today, (calling in sick to the Internet -- is that more funny or pathetic?), but was compelled to post something new, anyway.

Can't have you getting bored!

The first pic, "Networked", is a manip of my work area/virtual studio. Look closely, and you might make out a couple of computer towers and some speakers. There's a printer in there, too, but's it's harder to see.

The second pic, "Liquid Stone", (which I'm now wondering if I've posted before. It looks very familiar hanging here), is (was!) a bridge/overpass in Austin, Texas.

    I got Midnight too. I don't know why I love those quizzes so much.

    "Liquid Sonte" reminds me of Salvador Dali...Surreal (then again, most of your stuff is surreal.)

  2. Those pictures look like the world does when I hallucinate from the co2 build up. I didn't know you could take pictures of that.

  3. Hi, Tammi!

    Dali, wow! Now, there's a guy with "issues"! What can I say? "Surreal" works for me!

  4. Good morning, Dr. John!

    Sounds like your hallucinations are about equal to my reality. One of us needs some serious help!

  6. More psychedelic images, the first one reminds me of a dream I had once when I was shrunk and tried to find my way around a mac cpu. The second, well a few too many absinthe before visiting my local art gallery and a dadaist exhibition :)

  7. These are so awesome W.J.! I saw and commented in your flickr. Network is a kaliedoscope of shiny metal, red velvet and jewels with black onyx! (I didn't realize it was your puter!) and Liquid Stone is like the portal to another dimension. Well I am definitely a Midnight person and always have been. Which reminds me of a funny old saying my hubby's Grandma used to say when he was young and stayed out all night: "If you hoot with the owls all night don't expect to sing with the birds in the morning" :) I've always enjoyed hooting!

  9. I am midnight too :)
    Love the first photo, very rich colours. I feel like it is an eye watching the world or something. A prettified big brother camera.
    Don't mind me, I seem to be into ugly or sinister things disguised to look pretty or beautiful.

  10. Ah, TC. I knew you were a "Mork, from Ork" kinda guy! Nanoo, nanoo, to you, too!

  11. Hey, Johnny. Well, the very fact that you can stomach absinthe, explains so much!

  12. Lynette! I love your description of "Networked". Lovely! I've been through that "Liquid Stone" portal!

    Grandma's saying is great. My grandma had a bunch of those, too. 'Course, I've always been a 'hooter' and a 'singer'. Ah, the joys of insomnia.

    Thanks for your comments on Flickr. I'm gonna run with Flickr a little longer, then decide whether or not to keep it up. I haven't seen increases in my website or blog hits because of it. How's your Flickr working out?

  14. Jafa! I knew you'd be Midnight! Well, my PCs can definitely be sinister, on occasion. Too bad they don't look so pretty sitting on my desk! I've been considering a decopage treatment . . .
