Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Triple-amen. Of course, a troop pullout now might not be the "end" of the war.... note the "quick reaction force" to remain in the area, and the "over-the-horizon" presence of the Marines, both of which I agree with in principle. The US military would be obliged to step back in if, for example, the ...

Thanks, Z. It's funny.... I started this one with only the first sentence in mind and the scenes which inspired it, which I've experienced in large measure the last few years. I've done this on a few other sketches too. Barry Lopez is right. It's not a bad way to go. One "hears" a resonant phrase, a...

Stamina and faith gone, or going...

But no lack of power, or fire...


"rock is dead, and yet, we keep playing the music".

Amen.

I'm guessing that "she" is Delft, the town itself... The poem lends itself to different interpretations... "and stamps down on the cold parquet".... as if the get the blood flowing, creativity. catch the inspiration of the place, again... (or so I imagine) Thanks for the great link. I knew little of...

Here are four pics from Southwestern trips over the last few years.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/mnaz/grosvenor.jpg Grosvenor Arch, Utah http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/mnaz/navajo1.jpg Navajo Reservation, Ariz. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v463/mnaz/bryce1.jpg Bryce Canyon,...

Truth is always good. I don't know. It's just a long Cold War hangover and creeping corporatization of government. Let's face it. We were "jumped" by some pretty unsavory characters in the WW2 and early Cold War period. I can understand where our paranoia comes from, and our desire to preemptively f...

Nice read, judih.

"silence starts to sing".... I really like that.

I like.


Winter is a disease.

Nice.... sort of an allegory of false, or presumptuous pride and illusion of control through sheer might and bluster....

or something along that line....

Duration of view is law of the land in the dead-heart of Nevada, even from a straightaway doing sixty-plus. I count the ghosts of mountains, the number of snow-lit furrows in a jewel glaze, all at my leisure. I run the salt-flat streaks, the ones beside me, through a patient filter. I stare at them ...

Yeah.... I heard some Cheney snippets on the radio the other day. He echoed what stilltrucking has said about the Congresspeople who voted to authorize the use military force in Iraq. He claims that Congress had complete and ready access to all pertinent intelligence at the time, and that it simply ...

I'm tolerant of many things with leadership, if they are even semi-reasonable. But I cannot abide overly predatory, selfish policy, having to do with our environment or with our interactions with the world community. And I cannot abide being bullied and told blatant lies to "justify" policies of end...

Nice tribute, Dylan. I finally read "Fear and Loathing" a few months ago. Jeezus, what a horrible book, funny as hell.... just about perfect.... the same way I feel about Vegas itself. I liked that tape recorder he carried around.... that's how he found the words, at least part of it..... twisted re...

....rudimentary American commitment to peace, economic and social justice, civil liberties, our environment and human rights. Also endangered are our historic commitments to providing citizens with truthful information... Instead of our tradition of espousing peace as a national priority unless our...

ps...

I've finally gathered everything I've written and mixed it all together.... I like where it's headed, though much paring and refinement is needed.

Thanks for the encouraging word, Hes! Means a lot.
