If you say that Alan Dershowitz crawled out from under a rock he will use his lawyerly way with half-truths to "prove" that you are an anti-you-know-what.
Speaking of crawling and rocks, the foreign policy neocons are migrating into the Biden camp.

PDF of 1995 Art in America article on abstract painting in Texas
(These thumbnails aren't click- or tap-able; please read on.)
Finally getting around to learning to make PDFs with LibreOffice.
I started with the .tif scans I used for this "poor man's PDF" a while back.
The scans were of pages from a 1995 Art in America article on abstract painting in Texas, featuring David Szafranski, John Pomara, Jeff Elrod, yours truly and others.
The .tifs were huge -- like 24 MB per page, at 300 dpi. I loaded them in the "Draw" portion of LibreOffice and exported them as a PDF, reducing the dpi to 150 and choosing jpeg compression at 85%. Voila, a legible PDF at only 2.6 MB. Feedback/comments on this would be appreciated, since I plan to do more of these.

The Engagement, 1991-2020
This is a "remix" of an old painting. The original oil-paint-on-linen was configured as a rectangle, in landscape format, 22 inches tall by 26 inches wide. For the remix I formatted it as a square and removed a signature in the lower right corner, otherwise it looks the same. I had a 4x5 photo-transparency of the painting so was able to get a clear, detailed scan.
The original image appeared in color in a Houston gallery guide, in conjunction with a show I did at W. A. Graham gallery the next month. The painting ended up not appearing in the show.
I thought of this because it's similar to work I've been doing recently. Some might say better -- it's certainly more action-packed. I think I'm calmer now than I was around the time of the First Gulf War.
