Many thanks to Jim Keefe (Visit his Website) -- the LAST Flash Gordon illustrator of the 20th Century, and Flash's FIRST illustrator of the 21st, for including my efforts on his Flash Gordon Resources Page -- along with actual creators like Alex Raymond, Al Williamson, and others!


Charity Alert: Play the FreeRice Game -- improve your vocabulary, and donate food to the United Nations. Check into Terra Sigilata blog -- donate $$$ to cancer patients just by clicking onto the site. Keep that Resolution to click on The Hunger Site every day. BTW -- AIDtoCHILDREN.com is a bit simpler than FreeRice Game.

In The Community: The Hockaday Museum of Art's Autumn Salon, with 116 pieces on display. We also have Crown of the Continent and Ace of Diamonds gracing our walls. Looks like the art run to Eastern Montana in December is being revised again.
I'm gathering some CDs together for a lecture next week on Black Music in the U.S.A. -- it is too big a subject on its own, but I'm going to concentrate on FUNK, which touches all genres of the field -- and even transcends it.

Activity Watch: Thank goodness for Public Radio -- lots of variety. That "White Album" listening party was doled out in hour-long bites, and I had my say last week on this blog. I haven't even had the energy for NFL Football this weekend. That's kind of like admitting to being too drunk to fish. I matted a couple of artworks, and may do some more. My bills are all current, but today's dishes aren't done. Talking on the phone was fun, but my throat hurts.
I was out and about a little yesterday, getting some necessary chores done, and saw a relatively new melodrama about humble Mary and Joseph being advertised around town. The faces of the two young players were on the poster, and they had VERY humble looks indeed, at least as they were printed.
Since medieval times images of the New Testament Holy Family have been the reflections of local populations, but I rarely see anyone out and about as unfavored by fate as those kids in those pictures (shudder). I'll blame the photographer/graphic artist. Except for rightwing talk-show hosts, there's nobody THAT ugly around here, especially among our teenagers.
I'm very stoked about Katie's visit to the USA, but she and Justin are a thousand miles away, and I'd still be sick if I was in San Diego -- too many others would catch this cold.

Justin Morrison used this video of Katie's duet with Alex Waterman (cello) to promote her workshop this Thursday. It was shot at the Holland Dance Festival in 2004.
