Star Diary - Tribute to Lem - a photoset on Flickr
There are a couple artists who are working in book arts and posting their images on flickr fairly consistantly. This is a really interesting link to a collaborations between two artists - Christina Bustos in Berlin and Paula C. in Portugal. Enjoy investigating the links. These nights - with a nearly full moon and the Milky Way fully visible - it is good to see that others are reflecting on the stars as well.

Pow wow on the Coast
At Indian Summer tonight. Orange half moon hanging in the steamy night sky. After the Grand Entry, everyone was invited to join the dancers on the floor - to make a contribution -both spiritual and monetary - that would be sent on behalf of all to the people of the Gulf Coast struggling with the aftermath of Katrina.
Watching this teeming mass circle the floor - native and non-native peoples - swaying and stomping to the drumming and singing. The tick of time, the beating of hearts, the love of movement and color and sound. We all are one in this.

we make money not art: Caffeinated anatomy
(Get to the image through the link in the title...)
I love these.....Not only are illy's coffee cups the cutest around, they are also very inspiring in terms of creativity.
Designed by Atelier Van Lieshout, the latest illy offering interprets the four systems of the human body involved in drinking coffee.
Now, those are cups I'd like to contemplate my coffee with!

Helen R. Klebesadel
Helen had an opening of her new work at the Grace Chosey Gallery in Madison last night. It seems to me that her work is a beautful metaphor for what I would like to send to each person on the Gulf coast who is suffering. A beautiful, comforting wrapping made by human hands and healing touch. Quilts have an underlying strength in the thoughtful strategy that goes into their planning and fabrication. Traditionally, quilts have often been made by groups of women who came together in community to help others prepare for a life change - a wedding, a birth, a move across the country. Our government could take a hint from this seemingly commonplace gift from the everyday, composed of human kindness.

The American Race
[well worth reading the entire piece - link on the title to go to Leon Wynter's blog...]
There is this one, fat, black, woman who keeps wading across my TV screen. Or maybe there’s a hundred of her. She drags her belongings in a gym bag through chest- deep oily water. Her arms are as fat as thighs. Her THIGHS are churning all that’s foul beneath the surface.
And then there’s the brother. He’s a do-ragged, unshaven gangsta from central casting with a case of beer on his shoulder. Maybe he’s her nephew. He doesn’t have a record deal—yet— but he does have a nasty hard core rapin’ and robbin’ video out on cable news right now.
Auntie and nephew are the worst possible sterotypes of black America. America sees them playing on an endless loop on TV this week. We haven’t seen this many black folks acting out this much pain since the rebranded Rodney King uprising in L.A.
All I can see are metaphors, blowing in the wind from Katrina, the perfect storm.
Forget forest and trees. On TV we can’t see the class for the race.
