You are the Art!

Does Art need a Signature?

Moe and May I, the kittens, seem to enjoy my paintings regardless of signature, don’t you think?

Does Art need a Signature?

Bronze sculptures—clay, mold making, casting and finishing— who, after many hands have touched the forms, gets to sign the final sculpture?

Azazel’s Kitchen moving South

Azael’s Kitchen North-Bronze Smelting furnace and Burnout Kiln with Ceramic Shell molds of the wax water horses.

The merge of Art Does It with The Center for Art and Trades enters its seventh month in coastal Alabama.

Southern “hot” ended, and we’re planning our trip to the North CAT campus in upstate New York.

We’ll shore-up buildings for snow weight and bring CAT’s Azazel’s Kitchen— the Foundry- and its metal pouring, mold making, wax and investment equipment back to CAT South.

Note the many stages of clay, wax, spruing and metal finishing.

Left to Right- CAT North, Tage created the molds and waxes for my "water horses" pictured far right.

Many stages of the sculpting and casting process

How Did “Art Do It” this Week?

Art Does It arrives to you despite internet challenges and the annoying task researching unlimited bandwidth plans.

Our upcoming AL2NY trip North requires portable publishing, 

So, I watch the mailbox for the Google fi unlimited wireless sim card. When it arrives, it promises to solve all my publishing problems.

(You’ll be the first to know with paid subscriber posts in the
for the love of process section!)

Sketchbook

Old linoleum pulled up in eastern wing of the Music and Writer’s Cafe space/ The western wing to the right gallery tile comes out next.

At CAT South, construction, preservation of art objects, repairs, consolidations, new ventures; it is an unending list of to-dos.

Mixed with all is: creation, excitement, and some fear.

Regina and tar on the CAT South Gallery Roof

In between climbing on roofs and digging fence posts this week, I

• promoted ADI and CAT with new videos, graphics and content across socials. (Look for process posts on Art Does It and Cat!)

• authored an animation tutorial for the new IOS Procreate Dreams app

• drew with a real pen on paper

The draw of the draw, is to create without interruption,

and I now arrive with pen.

I hope you enjoyed this free portion of Art Does It’s paid subscriber weekly letters.
