If you remember back sometime ago we had two little house guests. Here is the post
Two Little Visitors
https://burgessart.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/two-little-visitors
Well, they are still here and as you can see…..very at home.
They say….. be careful who you let stay in your home……. they might never go.
Still who’s complaining!

Here is the latest in the Drips Series of Art Movies/Videos………. “Drips II”
If you liked Drips you will LOVE Drips II
Better sound, more action.…..and MORE DRIPS!!!!
To really see the drips exploding suggest you “pause” the movie.
This creates another view of the drips….. the one I originally wanted to show.
Please enjoy!

I set out to get some drip photos but after more than 100 they did not seem to be giving me what I wanted
So I decided to make a movie
Here it is…….. another short art movie.
Many of my movies are inspired by Andy Warhol’s….. but not as long.
Title : Drips

New Ink Drawing titled “So What Makes You Think This is Art?”
This is often asked about Modern Art.
It does not concern me what it is called.
“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
Prov. The nature of a thing is more important than what it is called. (From Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet.)
It is how it makes you feel.…. or think that matters.
What I see is limitless…….. mystery……..magic…….the unknown.
What I see is Life!

Came across this photo of me in another time …… “The Drummer”
Just shows how much I really love rhythm. It is in my blood.
We had the idea of growing our hair and calling the group ……. The Beatles…
but a group in the UK beat us to it.
They sounded just like us.
The Trojans ……. the name went on to bigger things.
The Drummer….. played in various groups including jazz. Still loves all music.

The FRONT ….This local sign is what most people look at and see (popular pub culture).
The BACK…….Below is what I see too……love the holes which are not obvious from the front.
Everything in life depends on how we see it.
Change our view…… and everything changes.
I feel this sign dramatically shows what a change of viewpoint will do.
The front side is loud…bold and eye catching.
The back is minimal, contemplative and peaceful.
You may prefer the front or the back……..that is your choice.
But both are very different….and most people never see the back.

“Muddle and Gabble” (Version 2)
Another new mixed media work on paper.
This work has echos of Turner’s late works and Gerhard Richter’s newer works.
However throughout my career I have often returned to a more nebulous form which to me,
better approaches the spiritual in art.
Look closely and you will see a reference to a Picasso painting.
The title of this work is unusual so I have included the meanings of the words…..
Muddle…. An untidy and disorganized state or collection.
Gabble….. Rapid and indistinct speech or noises
