I’m a metal fabricator by vocation with occasional sculpture sales too.

I studied metal sculpture at University of Oregon with instruction by Paul Buckner, Laura Alpert, Frank Okada & others.

My sub-studies included bronze-casting, figurative studies, drawing, psychology & philosophy.

A 1980’s musical hit in Early Middle English. Some very creative & inspired musicians.

The word “friend” survives!

Been watching lots of DVD’s & YouTube since I gave up broadcast TV in 2024.

I’ve watched this twice because my mum brought me to England in the early 70’s to visit my family in Yorkshire not far from where this was filmed.

So much feels familiar especially the accents.

Insights on Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland all tied to a “Monroe Doctrine 2.0” being pursued by the administration to control the Western Hemisphere and cede our duties & responsibilities elsewhere in the world.

Could the US take military action against Greenland?

It’s almost like Trump is willing to start a war to keep himself in power.

It’s no coincidence that Venezuela has vast oil reserves.

Echoes of the Persian Gulf War?

LeRoy Neiman (1921-2012)

As a “builder” I’ve struggled with colour theory. Maybe that’s why I love the vibrant expressionism of LN.

A friend knew of my interest and gave me a Playboy with this centerfold. Looks like a grand party!

Zoom in & explore!

Silver (Ag) price up 10% Friday.

Not a finance guru by any means. Over the past couple months I’ve been reading about “paper” silver & derivatives, BRICS & “de-dollarization”.

Chatter on many YT channels predicting this week might be a wild ride in the financial world.

Anyone here follow this?

Postcards attributed to drawings by Margaret and Walter Keane.

Their lives were the subject of the movie Big Eyes (2014) directed by Tim Burton.

My Nana collected ephemera from her travels. I believe she bought these while visiting San Francisco in the late 1950’s or early 1960’s.

I Love Lucy apt.
The Waltons house
Little House on the Prairie cabin

Brady Bunch, Goonies homes may show there’s a market for recreated “Hollywood” spaces as a hospitality experience.

Would you stay overnight in a movie or TV recreation of a home, apt or space?

If so, which ones?

Ever since I read Bowen Yang is unexpectedly departing Saturday Night Live mid-season I’ve been wondering what sort of deal could be that big that he’d give up SNL.

The 1st thing I thought of is Marvel and the MCU.

The 2nd thing I thought of is a version of Amadeus Cho.

In the early 90’s I facilitated a group that met regularly at the old Koinonia Center near University of Oregon. It demolished in 2013.

After “group” some walked to Espresso Roma for coffee, socialize or “study”.

Heard this week it’s gone too!

Hamilton Hall next.

I saw President Obama from a distance after a campaign event in Eugene, OR.

I was sat outside with friends when his dimly lit bus passed by my friend’s house in the University district as he was leaving.
