hi,
for those of you following our adventures here at
alfred this is rather a big moment for charley iii
(c3) and me. (see "a new kinda brush" for back
ground info)
so far c3 has been practicing on english bone
china tiles and doing just fine. but tonight we
gave him some real stoneware tiles to break
his teeth on. nice 8" by 8" in the bone state.
he's been engraving and nano-squirting for 4
hours already and seems to like the work!
tony c. gave me linda's name and linda has been
gracious enough to introduce me to two of
her bright eyed ceramic grad student friends,
i introduced them all to c3 and some of
the things that we see him doing. turned out
they also like the "islamic" work of mahvash
mossaed (woman artist of the year etc) .
we think her work might look good direct
on porcelain. (i'm thinking of a huge
5' wide by 8' tall mural that is backlit
by the technology from another part of
the project here) big is something c3 will
do well.
this moment c3 is busy nanosquirting a kurt
wild mural of frogs on lily pads. its looking
great, he's nailing it. gold stars for c2! the
engraving was also nice and clean.
so we are progressing. if there are any of you
in the area, i will be here much of the remainder
of june, then things might get iffy. but this machine
could be made available for interested parties
to do work we find interesting. already we have
a new tile company interested. mahvash has
said she is interested in working with us. her
work can be seen at:
with poetry at: http://www.paintedjourney.com/
and art portfolio at: http://www.mahvashmossaed.com
meetings tomorrow, gotta get out of here. c3 is trained to turn
himself off when he's done. one of those things you have to
like about c3.
best,
george koller
