The American woman is the most intelligent woman in the world today?the only one that always knows what she wants, and therefore always gets it. Hasn?t she proved it by making her husband in his role of slave-banker look almost ridiculous in the eyes of the whole world? Not only has she intelligence but a wonderful beauty of line is hers possessed by no other woman of any race at the present time.
And this wonderful intelligence, which makes the society of her equally brilliant sisters of sufficient interest to her without necessarily insisting on the male element protruding in her life, is helping the tendency of the world today to completely equalize the sexes, and the constant battle between them in which we have wasted our best energies in the past will cease.?



Marcel Duchamp, 1915
The Nude-Descending-a-Staircase Man Surveys Us,?
The New York Tribune, September 12, 1915,

A new year brought the right way-

I am probably the only one to say,
          “I love a good wonder around the Junkyard”.


My significant other thought it would be a good way to bring in the New Year.
200+++ pictures and 8 hours later we enjoyed ideas, played out seniors, stimulated visuals for project builds, engaged in conversation of imagination - all in the rust color of old, on the crisp snow white back drop in the quiet serenity of the cold to bring in the New Year.

Yup- I’m a Cheep date! Ha- Ha!

ART Miami - So much to do and see!

Airbrush Painted Vietnam Veterans Memorial

1961 Vet Classic - Owner John F. Svandrlik
I bought this 61 Corvette in 2005 as a project. When I bought this Vet, it was all apart in boxes. In the process I went from a mono radio to a stereo. I installed the new speakers in the kick panels. Now I needed to come up with something to put in the original hole in the dash. One day while looking at my other car, which has a POW/MIA plate on the front the idea came to me.
I took another plate and cut it to fit into the original speaker frame. I received many positive compliments from fellow vets. I then had "59 All Gave Some Some Gave All 75" painted on the rear panel above my VVA license plate. I felt I needed to do more, and it came to me at our chapters Memorial Day service at the local Vietnan Veterans Memorial.
I contacted a local airbrush artist, Mi Chelle Vara, from Wilton with my idea .She was very enthusiastic about it as you can see she did a fantastic job. I have brought the car to many shows since I completed her in 2008. There is still room on the lower panel inside the hood for a future addition.
I served a tour in Vietnam in1967 with the U.S. Navy, was assigned to the Inshore Undersea Warfare Group 1, on a patrol boat, as a crew member. It is an honor to share these images with my brothers in NY VVA.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Airbrushed

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Airbrushed: "Vietnam Veterans Memorial Airbrushed"

11/21/09-A Vietnam Veterans Memorial painted with airbrush supported by John & Grace.There are 2 to the series one in monotone gray the other is monotone color with subliminal flames, yet mellow. I have not had time to edit #2 yet, so check back.The photograph doesn’t do justice, as there is a loss in translation. It seems almost impossible to shoot good pictures of a reflective surface and keep the detail, quickly.The original painting has much detail and dimension and of course time in it.The 2nd to the series is currently at the studio so fee free to come by and check it out, in person.The second in the series will be looking for a public forum, to show off how much we Love our Veterans and the sorrow we share for the losses.My heart felt sympathy goes to all who have loss and who currently serve in wartime.Thanks! -m

Sculpture Just finished- for the assistance of artist with terminal cancer.

"Urban Thought"

The event is Sponsored by: Rema Hort Mann Foundation

153 Hudson Street, New York, NY 10013

Imagine the feeling of being a terminal patient and in hopes of a grant to sponsor some of your last art works. Although, I think there would be a plethora of untapped work ideas. I can’t on top of the other daily struggles, begin to understand the feeling of time running out, and the need to get the last thoughts down.
That level of struggle and difficulty must be overwhelming.
My heart and piece goes out to those in that position.
I am very grateful for the health I enjoy and the people that I enjoy it with!
