#art #dharma #tarot #internet Speaking of post-internet art and post-internet dharma [Buddhist teachings] in my last post, I tried to get on Zoom with a meditation group this morning, but the new link didn’t give me access. So I meditated on my own this morning. The group meditation only happens once a week, anyway. MostContinue reading “Starting the Day”

Post-Internet Whatever
#post-internet #art Not having attended art school, I’m so behind on all this. Watching a video on post-internet art, which is described as “internet-aware.” You don’t have to make art on the internet for it to be post-internet art. The internet culture has become so all-encompassing that all you have to be is internet-aware ofContinue reading “Post-Internet Whatever”

Save New Deal Art
(from “accelerated disposal”) I’ve got a post up on Substack about attempts to save the Wilbur G. Cohen building in Washington, DC–constructed to memorialize Social Security and New Deal-era #art (funded by the National Recovery Administration) from potential “accelerated disposal” by the current Administration (you-know-who): Help Save New Deal Art. #newdeal #SocialSecurity #NewDealArt And here’sContinue reading “Save New Deal Art”
Finding Focus: Daily Art and Life
Ah, life is so strange and confusing and scary lately. And busy. But I’m glad to have a daily art practice, something to focus on besides my phone and the news. Somehow, daily art practice seems to be infiltrating into daily life practice. A feeling where–with a life full of distractions–I’m learning to say, OK,Continue reading “Finding Focus: Daily Art and Life”
Daily Art Cycle
No. 9 in the Daily Art cycle. Finally used some collage material sent to me via Mail Artist “Nonlocal Variable“ (Oregon) for this asemic. It’s very common in #mailart exchanges to receive a packet of #collage items — and fun! Why did I pick this particular item from the collage packet? I guess I resonatedContinue reading “Daily Art Cycle”
Daily Drawing / Meditation
I’m doing my “daily-drawing-practice-until-I-die” project. Up to No. 16 (my 16th day). I’ve decided that every time I get to 100, I will reward Self with an extremely yummy cookie. I know my friend Joan (who passed on recently and inspired this project) would approve. One nice perk is that these little drawings are providingContinue reading “Daily Drawing / Meditation”
From Tony Robles: “A Monk’s Invisible Footprints”
I’ve been keeping track of the Theravada #Buddhist monks’ “Peace Walk,” their journey by foot from Texas, through the Bible Belt, to DC. It has been a hard slog (and some of the monks are barefoot), but as they walk, the crowds that welcome them are getting larger and larger. Filipino American author Tony RoblesContinue reading “From Tony Robles: “A Monk’s Invisible Footprints””
Blogging Over Mass Social Media
I’ve been blogging regularly every since I created my first blog on Geocities around 2001. Later I switched to WordPress. Blogging brought me to a community of writers and artists, some of whom I have met in person, collaborated with on books, and remain friends with to this day. I’ve also been on social mediaContinue reading “Blogging Over Mass Social Media”
Drawing Bee
Last night I attended the online social “Drawing Bee” on Zoom sponsored by artist John F. Simon, Jr., author of Drawing Your Own Path: 33 Practices at the Crossroads of Art and Meditation. I had purchased the book recently because I was interested in drawing meditation practices, and I intend to develop a a moreContinue reading “Drawing Bee”
