      Thanks very much!

      I used to have a B&W darkroom - and for years struggled with photography. I tried painting in college. I even struggled trying to play folkie rock in bands in SF back in the day. Uggggh. Then - 2 years ago I stumbled into Aria in SF and purchased a piece by Assemblage artist extraordinaire Jack Howe ( www.jackhowe.net ), and I was instantly hooked.

      I have never found an art form that felt so natural for me - and have never had so many ideas constantly flowing. I also have to credit my wife - I remarried two years ago - who loves art - and is the most amazing culinary artist. The support I have makes all the difference.
      I am having more fun than ever these days!

      And I truly feel that there is the friendliest group of people on Flickr who have helped me immensely. I work for a company that makes a social networking site (twine.com), but for me - flickr is my favorite.

      Well, you have definitely found your medium. And I completely agree - having the support (sounds like you found a jewel! :) makes all the difference.

      I understand the struggle, and the 'sampling'. I'm still meandering, but having fun doing it. I"m going to go check out jack howe - and see your inspiration!

      Keep manifesting those ideas - you're very good at this. :)

      I have two books on Altered Art and Assemblage - and saw how a couple artists have used broken bits of china - especially "Bisque Dolls".
      I purchased some on Etsy - but ironically, found all these cool china characters at a local thrift store (The Wayside Inn Thrift Store in Lafayette, CA). Anyway, I bought a whole bunch - for $.50 each - because they were chipped - and put in this big junk bucket.

      Be on the lookout - for a pirate with a red peg leg. These found objects have a way of directing which way we travel through this altered art universe (heh heh).

      Oh, I dearly love thrift stores - there are definite treasures to be found there. :) BTW, Jack Howe's work is amazing, but I like yours more. So there. LOL

      I have been duly warned about the red legged pirate. :)

      "Big Red" is in the stream now. I have found that my ball peen hammer is the right tool to break up old porcelain and china characters - so I can then use the good bits. So - even though I used to pass on these things (thinking they were "old peoples trinkets", now I can see the great parts of each - and so now - they are treasures.

      Assemblage (I think more than anything) makes you look at things very differently - in bits and pieces as well as the whole - and in 2 and 3d as well.

      Well, now I can't wait to see what you're going to do with Big Red (LOL!). And I think you're right about assemblage and collage making you see things differently - and evidently this is something you do well. :)

      How convenient to have a stream to help you age things!

      I think this one comes together so perfectly. It has a timeless feel. Forever cuckolds though the centuries... Really beautifully done.
