Hombre en Llamas (Man on Fire)
Just came across the sculptures of Jason deCaires Taylor in the January National Geographic. This particular sculpture is located at a depth of 9m, Cancun / Isla Mujeres, Mexico. I love how the sculptures take on a life of their own continuing to evolve and change within the natural environment as sea life pass through or call it home.

The Fiction Project, orchestrated by The Art House Co-op,invites everyone to tell illustrated stories. I signed up online to receive a blank moleskin, filled it with my story, mailed it back, and now it’s going on tour to Seattle (June 10-12), San Francisco, Chicago, and Winter Park. After travelling across the country, it will enter the Brooklyn Art Library’s narrative collection.
There are now 1,000 sketchbooks in the Digital Library! Explore here:

I’m waiting for my story book to be uploaded. It’s about Selina, a curious fish anthropologist who sets out to find a mysterious creature. But when she’s invited to a fashion show, she finds more than expected.

About the Story
It is always a treat to pass by the Holt Renfrew in downtown Vancouver. I love the lobster and jellyfish. I think my nephew would be partial to the sea dragon.
This wonderful blue bird met me at every turn along a trail near the Squamish estuary.
Nick Cave is my new favourite artist. His Soundsuits are showing at the Seattle Art Museum until June 5, 2011. They are a must see.

I’m a big fan of process. This series of photos shows the stone-cut stencil process at Baker Lake Arts.

Lewis Carroll (1832 – 1898) of Alice and Wonderland also took this amazing photograph summarizing Saint George and the Dragon in just one shot. I love the composition, costumes, and old feel of the film.
