Previous 838 of 2046 Next

I woke up this morning with the feeling that I'm being relegated to the less than but not quite here category, that I'm moving quickly toward the realm of the not only obsolescent but the soon to become statuary---or at least have statuary placed somewhere near my head. Yes, it may be partly in my head but I can't help feeling as I read the so-called 'newsfeeds' that my age group no longer seems to matter, that we all have one swollen foot almost in the requisite hole. Well, all I can say is---not quite yet. Stay tuned for more of that Original Jones Art the world has been largely ignoring for 50 odd years 'cause I ain't dead yet here in that ramshackle yet somehow overly-priced city known as Austin, Texas. PS: Yes, I used my City of Austin utility bill envelope to bring home my point---well, the point of pen and pencil. This is a 7.25 by 5 inches gel pen drawing with color pencil. I used to go to raves, now I just rant.

You are so creative, a lot! And your work gives us a ride throu your feelings… wonderful path.

Artist Reply: I always thought it more a voyage on a rusty tramp steamer to nowhere in particular, Karen. I notice I was quite verbose, if not articulate, in this image's description. Thanks for the nice comment and I hope you are doing great. :)

Always interested in your accompanying texts. More than just a few times, you've expressed my thoughts, not only with the magic of your images but your text also. Great work!

Artist Reply: Thank you, Ginger! It was only after writing my reply to John that it dawned on my he was referring to the text I added to the graphic NOT my text in the description area. Oh well. I've been thinking of adding more text into the graphics for awhile but haven't taken the plunge. I've done it sporadically. Hope you are doing and feeling great. :)

I love your inclusion of text

Artist Reply: Since I've been expounding more in my descriptions, I've been letting my blog area here go wanting. I've always been a bit hit-or-miss in that area so I thought I would throw a few extra thoughts, when mood and energy allows, with each upload. I find it therapeutic and hopefully insightful, John. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Hope all is good and creative with you. :)
