Lusting Naps

Each day Kitty and I take a nice nap.

Apparently, as witnessed by the photo below,



I'm not the only guy that naps with his kitty buddy!

Lusting Artistic Alias

If you want to change your style, but you don't want to lose your identity on a style you've already had success with, what do you do?



Mark Beard has a possible solution; create different persona for yourself, that paint, or sculpt, in different styles!



  • Mark Beard-the real deal (1956-)

  • Bruce Sargeant, imaginary English artist (1898-1938)

  • Hippolyte-Alexandre Michallon-Sargeant imaginary teacher (1849-1930)

  • Edith Thayer Cromwell, imaginary American avant-gardeist (1893-1962)

  • Brechtolt Steeruwitz, imaginary German impressionist (1890-1973)

  • Peter Colter, imaginary contemporary artist (1948-)

To see the "artists" and examples of "their" art visit John Stevenson Gallery .

    Lusting People Watching

    At times I find myself being entertained by watching people walking by, or having dinner at the next table, shopping at the mall, just about anywhere. The appearance, posture, who speaks, who doesn't, all provide a bounty of data on which to form opinions and judgements.

    We are fortunate, thanks to the ancient vase painters, to look back at a type of social gathering, the symposium.


    Take a look around at the guests, and see if you recognize any that you might meet at a party thrown today!

    From the days of Marcantonio Raimondi ,



    To the modern times of Marty McCorkle .

    Lusting Enlightenment

    At the End of Each Day... by *Fangfingers

    The mind of man,
    Seeks to understand,
    All that is unknowable.

    With picture and word,
    Some sane, some absurd,
    A description is posed.

    So at the end of each day,
    All might see into,
    The mind of man.
