January 23, 2021. It was a dark time in our country, and I wanted a project to focus on, to add some positive content to the world.

It was the first post of what I called my “Daily Art Fix.” After that first entry, I continued to put up an art themed post every day for over a year, until February 24, 2022. On February 25, we lost our internet connection for 12 days. Thieves had stolen vital equipment that knocked our whole neighborhood out.

By the time the internet was restored I had lost the inclination to produce the Daily Art Fix. I’ve been keeping busy on many other projects: painting, writing, planning.

The dark times have continued. The choice we need to make as a country is clear, and we must not allow another theft to occur. To feed the positive and alternative growth of culture, now I’m going to start another run of a daily post on the art world links which caught my eye.

We start with the newest post from my wife Michele Bledsoe’s blog The Secret Kingdom. She reminisces about what her life was like right before we met. Seems like a good place to start.

STRANGE HABITS AND THE ART OF POLYMER CLAY

Many, many years ago

when I lived alone with my dog, Gunther

I developed some strange habits.

Open packages of marshmallow Peeps

all over the place

slowly turning into Peep-jerky..

Dinner was often instant mashed potatoes straight out of the pot

drenched in ketchup.

I never used my oven for cooking…

just for baking all the little creatures I made out of Sculpey.
