Hartford Metro Map, originally uploaded by jamesplankton.CT- and DC-based designer Brian Cook has conjured up a Metro for Hartford, if only on paper. The Orange and Red lines intersect at the Capitol, with major hubs at the Old State House and in the West End, while the Yellow line loops around the Downtown area and into the North and South Ends. Other lines crisscross the city and dip into the s

LaVita is on her way to a Halloween party…. couldn’t find that darn broom… it flys off without telling her. That’s OK, she’s got this ol’ shoe that is a much nicer ride. Her hair won’t get messed up, and the color is just right. She’s has lots of black glitter, silver glitter, and such nice hair…. She’ll be on my website very so
It was cloudy last weekend when we camped in a Sibley Tent at Treebones Resort in Big Sur, a resort known for its oceanside yurts, off-grid power system, and delicious lamb tajines. I had forgotten how grey the sky can be in Northern California during the summer. On our previous trips to Big Sur, the blue of the sky was rivaled only by the blue of the ocean. At first, I was disappointed that t
By strange coincidence, three of four FluffyCo employees are at least half Polish,and the other one has a Polish girlfriend.

Scientology is a funny little religion, not so much for it’s insane beliefs, because in you look at all the world’s religions, they all sound insane of their surface. That doesn’t mean they are necessarily false, I mean if you think about most things, and remove yourself, everything sounds crazy. Moving selfaware collections of microscopic chemical sacks being self aware, the wh

Being a book-lover, when I first began watercolour painting, I immediately turned to books for help. There are many, many books on watercolour painting. Apart from some beginner exercises in laying washes and such, I didn’t find them much help. I kept getting books from the library and becoming frustrated with them.Then I read a quote in one of the books which said, “if you can’

Tian Tiaquan’s complex, constructed images use China’s Cultural Revolution as a departure point to explore, and reflect on, “the most severe setback and heaviest losses suffered by the party, the state and the people since the founding of the Peoples Republic of China ”.[image]“Not a Dinner Party” subverts the documentary nature of photography to imply, rather than depict, his ideas about the Cul
Forward: The characters in this story are fictional, any relation they may have to individuals in “real life” is completely coincidental. Or at least partially so. I’m starting a comic strip drawn on register tape from Starbucks (only drawn during 10 minute and 30 minute breaks of course). As sort of a summer project.

Since I do not illustrate human figures, it might be interesting to share some romance book cover projects that came my way.I didn’t do too many, but I was quite comfortable painting those illustrations that I did. I especially enjoy illustrating flowers.On one of the jobs, I was required to paint a “Tartan plaid,” which was supposed to depict the book’s Irish theme. I was actually shipped a pi

Have you ever had to take stock of your life? It can be both pedestrian and exhilarating at the same time. It’s kind of like drinking (I’ll get to this in a bit…) I’ve been in kind of a funk lately and, when I’m in one of these moods, you usually get angry grunts and semi-blank stares from me. I totally shut down when this feeling strikes. I’ll attribute th
