William doing something

 So again I've gotten behind on my blogging and am trying to look at images I set aside for it and make sense of them. William is one month out of university and I have a number of tasks for him. He is to apply for work on a weekly basis. He is to work on grant applications or similar ventures on a regular basis. And he is to continue his creative practices. I don't know what this picture represents. 

Peavy Mart

After visiting the cemetery with mom, we went to Peavy Mart. They just announced they'd be closing the entire chain soon and mom has never been there. I got a good deal on electric fence wire. 
 

Renovations at Fred's house

 Along with a new closet, the art is moving around and an overall new look for Fred's house is taking shape. 

Used electronics

 My grad student canceled her meeting today so I took William out to run some errands. I was looking for a cabinet to consolidated and tore video games and controllers, and he was looking for old games to play in some of the controllers he acquired from his cousins. We both came up empty, but I did see some of these Star Trek Hot Wheels for sale. Weird. 

Jerry Ruecker art

Margaret purchased a Jerry Ruecker at the silent auction that we didn't attend last night. We've always loved his work. I was a bit distraught when she told that she'd won a bid, especially considering that we were not there so she would have needed to put a sizable bid in at the beginning of the process when she was there helping to set up. When she unveiled this beauty, I couldn't have bee more pleased. 

Kevin's Lego

 Kevin and his family built a Lego Millennium Falcon over Christmas. It's a newer one than William's, but the same size and very close to the same design. New figures of course, matching a newer movie. 

Look workshop

 Spent the morning teaching an animation workshop for Trevor Grant and his "Look" students. Ian Rogers was there and he gave me an old studio video camera to paint (and keep - he is divesting). 

AGR opening

Cool three person show. Leesa Streifler's drawings were very raw. Unfortunately she didn't make it to town due to problems with her flight. Deb Potter created a large number of very funny and intricate  figurative sculptures. Sheila Nourse built a number of wall pieces which are, in abstract ways, portraits of some people she knows including Margaret (this work is made up of objects picked up of the street).
