His name is <b>Dave Devries<\/b> and he creates <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themonsterengine.com\/art.html\">rich realistic paintings based on the scrawled drawings of monsters that children draw.<\/a> There&#8217;s a certain beauty in them that captures a little sense of something ethereal and creepy. It only takes a minute, go give it a look. <\/p>\n<p>In other news, dolphins have taken the next step toward being worshiped as gods by the New Age crowd by carefully crafting situations where they will be found using tools, <a href=\"http:\/\/dsc.discovery.com\/news\/briefs\/20050606\/dolphin.html\">proof evinced.<\/a> This is extra good timing on their side, as just this week <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/scienceoffiction\/050606_breathe_underwater.html\">we&#8217;ve learned to breathe underwater as fish do.<a\/><\/p>\n<p>However, they have not managed to make the useful as sexy sleek as <a href=\"http:\/\/tsaya.com\/\">Tsaya<\/a> has. They make strap on wallets that look as if they were designed with an everyone-wearing-black mexican stand-off in mind that involves cell phones instead of guns. The idea is to replace the handbag with something you can wear and be active in. A pity, I think, that so far it&#8217;s only made of black patent leather, though I&#8217;m certain that has it&#8217;s own built in market. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of design, actually, I found that Dream Designs, the place I had my interview at, has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dreamdesigns.ca\/\">a website<\/a>. I highly recommend giving them a decco if you&#8217;re looking for quality fabrics. As part of my interview, I asked what their policy was on corporate consumption and confirmed my suspicion that they&#8217;re firm supporters of organic and natural products, a stance that only bolsters the respect I had for the company. I sincerely hope there&#8217;s a strong possibility that I get a chance at this. To work what I call &#8216;a real job&#8217; in a place where my skills fit and I have the opportunity to continue learning, it would be such a gift. Theater became tiresome, too many egos. The networking was an aspect I didn&#8217;t mind so much, but the petty things that one had to remind oneself of constantly were wearing. This is a small city. <i>This actress loathes that director who dislikes that actor who won&#8217;t work with this costumer who&#8217;s dating the first woman mentioned.<\/i> Reliable employment, full time, is exactly what I want. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling a little snow-blind lately. My week has been flurries of shredded newspaper information and I&#8217;m finding now that it&#8217;s becoming hard to keep track of who has read what into my incruental sacrifices. <\/p>\n<p>Curiosity, does anyone know who this artist is?<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i3.photobucket.com\/albums\/y80\/audkawa33\/rOnnbAr_isompi1.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I rediscovered an artist the other day through a boingboing posting and decided that this time around, I simply had to remember to share.
