A throwback of sorts to this fun little thing here . A whole lot of work, too and I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend, my buddies. :) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3300 X 4375.

Often, I'm not satisfied with the Type Boxes I make. At least, not until many weeks or even months after they're finished. What I do love here is that my brain kept trying to turn the very concept of "Green + Red" automatically into "Christmas," but I fought back-- and won!! :D Shown smaller than the original completed size of 4000 X 2466 pixels. See one original source here . Obligatory late 1980s song reference here .

Pigeons would've been better, but I didn't have any good shots of them. I wonder if there's still anyone alive in this town who'd repair a digital camera for me. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2403 X 3500 pixels. See one original source here .

A haunting Wayne Shorter tune from 1965 . It's an absolute crime that I've only settled in with my vinyl collection maybe once this year. [grumble] Shown smaller than the original completed size 4298 X 4900 pixels. See one original source here .

Shown smaller than the original completed size of 6300 X 5100 pixels. The beautiful rose garden and little flower drawing are from the defunct local landmark Lambert Gardens. You can see a whole album about it here . The title is from the Jazz standard by Clarence Williams and Spencer Williams (link) .

Title origin: "I know my tears are wasted, And I know I cry in vain. I know I've lost my baby, But I love her just the same..." -- Percy Mayfield (1920-1984) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2500 X 3042 pixels. See one original source here .

I'm afraid the title is sarcastic. I'm still out looking for a job. :/ Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3800 X 2703 pixels. See one original source here .

This one was in limbo for a while. Glad to have finally got it resolved. Shown smaller than original size of 2430 X 1200. See one source here .

Like every collage maven, I'm fond of Joseph Cornell's work. I've done a whole series of "wood-framed" pieces because of him. But I think this is my first one to exist only on computer. Original size: 2938 x 2946 pixels. One of several sources can be seen here .
