2. 6 things you didn’t know about light

Light occupies a central place in our understanding of the world both as a means by which we locate ourselves in nature and as a thing that inspires our imagination. Light is what enables us to see things, and thus to navigate our surroundings. It is also a primary means by which we learn about the world – light beams carry information about the constituents of the universe, from distant stars and galaxies to the cells in our bodies to individual atoms and molecules.

A young, bored boy finds a mysterious tollbooth in his room.

8. And the Rest...

Like the theme song from the first season of Gilligan's Island, I'm just going to cram all the other players from the book The Clock Without a Face into one final post. Seriously, you need to check out the link there if you haven't already. Find out all about this weird book, and let me know when you've uncovered one of the very real treasures that have been buried in twelve different spots across the United States of America.


Actually, I may be taking it for granted that all the treasures are in the U.S. One of them could be in Guam or Ontario for all I know. But I'm pretty sure they're in the U.S.

Anyway, for your consideration: the paranoiac,

the puzzle ladies,
the superfan,
the doormen,
the hamster-man,

10. Clock Without a Face 6

Got a little behind on these. Here are the kids who live one floor below the future-man. Nobody seems to know what happened to their parents, but they don't mind. They think they're doing just fine.

Be sure to check out the website for Clock Without a Face. Join the hunt! Part of the treasure could practically be in your back yard.

11. Monday Artday … Awake

Is there anything more horrible than a mosquito keeping you awake? You get out of bed and try to catch it, but you can´t see it, so you go back to bed, and this little beast keeps buzzing like he is on a mission, so you try to catch it again and this goes on all night, until you go crazy. I hate mosquitos so much!

Hay algo más horrible que un mosquito manteniendote despierto? Uno sale de la cama, lo trata de atrapar, pero no se ve, entonces te metes a la cama otra vez y esa bestiecilla sigue zumbando como si tuviera una misión, entonces tratas de atraparlo otra vez y esto sigue toda la noche, hasta que te enloqueces. Odio los mosquitos!

12. The Clock Without a Face 3

Yet another portrait from that forthcoming book I've been talking about. This is the hoarder, who lives one floor below the alchemist.

Once again, this book is both a mystery and a treasure hunt. Readers will find clues inside that will lead them to twelve different bejeweled numbers hidden across the United States.

More information soon.

13. Two Years Can Seem Like a Two Minute Doomsday Clock

Teenagers Need To Realize, Sooner.

    My dream job, since I was 7, is an Architect of some sort. Pictures of mostly modern day architecture is my kind of eye candy. I don’t know why, i guess it’s just the fact that architects create a structure, on paper, that eventually becomes more than just a technical drawing.

    But anyway, me being 16 years young, going into my junior year, I am entering the most important beginning of my future. I have recently been researching on how to reach my goal of earning a Masters, minimum; and just like any other career, getting a Masters degree takes a lot of education. But the worst part of going to college is…going to college; with the strong possibility of separating from your family at home for years.

    No, the worst part is not in terms of financial status towards tuition, but losing the strongest support you will have in your life. And I came to realize that when the middle of June of 2011 comes around, there’s going to be a lot of weight on my shoulders, which I will have to bestow in order to do do what I want to do.  Seeing this, I now look back at my earlier childhood, wishing: Man, I wish I had the ability to comprehend that this was coming. I do so bad, because I would have fully appreciated the care that my parents have given me, because I will never be looked after and mentored with such affection as I did during my childhood years.

Now.

   The end of senior year may, in reality, be in only a couple years, but to tell you the truth, I feel as if the end of the beginning will be over within the same amount of time as displayed by a watch. All I can do now is prepare for my future.

15. "TIME" for Spring


I found a really sweet birdhouse in our forest. Trapped under vines and old beyond use, it inspired this painting. It looked so much like a little clock that I decided to reinvent it as one, with fresh new paint. Now it can welcome a new family with pride.

17. Illustration Friday: Time


My submission for Illustration Friday's "Time" is a dimensional painting I made in 1992. The title of this piece is "Night Clawk" and it was hanging in a restaurant in Westwood, CA and a young man named Kirtland Washington came in and purchased it. It's cool how a painting is a part of the artist and then someone takes it home and it has it's very own life out in the world somewhere. I hope Kirtland still has it and enjoys it. I am close to finishing the Shoe House and will post it soon.

18. Illustration Friday: "Late"


Thought I'd pull this one out of the sketchbook as it seemed appropriate for the topic. I did post this a couple months back - so it might looked familiar if you've visited here before. But, it wasn't totally complete at that time. I've since filled in the empty spots and added the clock hands. It's not my favorite drawing, but this will be my teaching week and I won't have time for something new.

19. I just found this...

posted by Neil
This was over at Mousecircus.com, the junior site, on the front page. I'd heard that the whole site was going to get a makeover, and finally get out of Flash animation, but it hasn't happened quite yet. This counter was sitting there, below the Dave McKean mouse orchestra drawing, telling me that the Graveyard Book would be out in six days, six hours and eleven minutes. I thought about waiting another five minutes to post, then decided to test out the "Post it in blogger" function. Which what I'm doing right now.





(It seems to work on blogger. Not on any of the RSS feeds though. It's also about 30 seconds different from the counter on the sidebar. Clicking the Get & Share button at the bottom allows you to post it anywhere you want.)

(And my apologies for the practical nature of much of the current blogging.)

(I just figured out that you can actually also get it from http://www.clearspring.com/widgets/48765b515bcd6b33?p=48d9881e2fea74f1, where you get a larger number of ways to embed it into many more things. Although that doesn't have links to the google/yahoo widget version or many of the others.)

20. Problems Getting Out of Bed

medical-mondays.jpg

When I was in high school my father had the unpleasant task of waking me in the morning. He would cajole me out of bed with promises of a freshly cooked breakfast, orange juice and the New York Times. Most days these bribes were successful because as hard as I tried to stay in bed, he was persistent. Below is some advice excerpted from Getting Your Child to Say “Yes” To School: A Guide For Parents of Youth with School Refusal Behavior by Christopher A. Kearney.

Some teenagers miss school because they have great trouble getting out of bed in the morning. If your client has this problem, then be sure she is getting plenty of sleep. The following will help: (more…)

21. ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ HIDE


Amazingly self -deceptive, Chandler thought he would be well hidden on the cluttered desk behind the old clock, candles, and decorative box. But, alas, he was "spotted."
