bloggers for hire

Hilary has hired a blogger to help her campaign for whatever or whichever. My first thought was that this was a good way to expand ones exposure in the news coverage and it only cost what you have to pay a blogger to do what he would be doing anyway as opposed to taking out advertizing in major newspapers and buying TV time.

Economically sound? unless there's a law aginst it. CLEVER GIRL.. .

3 detainees


at Grantanimo hung themselves last night. They cut their sheets into strips to make ropes. The remaining prisoners don't have sheets on their beds at night anymore. Does this make sense?

Is it this politics or desperation . . . I only know that it is

WRONG.

COMPUTER ART really is ART

It's been said that COMPUTER GENERATED ART isn't REAL ART.

Galleries don't show or sell it. But they do show and sell for extraordinary prices other multiple forms of art. . . the print media of etchings, lithos, seragraphs, multimedia etc. So why not sell limited editions of art generated by computer. It's really just another tool.

We have a discussion called COMPUTER GENERATED ART at seniornet which has become very lively. It helps that we've broadened the scope to include anything about any art within the guidlines of the Seniornet organization. Do drop in and join us or lurk. You don't have to be all that senior even, Age fifty is the population we are addressing but w'ere pretty accepting of art by your grandkids and children and even ordinary people who haven't reached this interesting period in their lives yet.

The overal address for SENIORNET is http://www.seniornet.org and
the address of this one discussion, one of over six hundred round table discussions, is

which is also linked to the title here. This is something I was doing, still responding to my interest in the Franz Kiline compositions, only on the computer and it came out looking, as one of my friends said, as if I'd dropped my drafting tools on a blow up of a city map. That's exactly right. then she asked for the faces, since my work often has some that simply live there on their own. I'll show both here. Adding faces this time and still keeping the original is one of the options I have when I use this tool. In fact making suites of variations is to by simply SAVE AS title change for each version. It's time for this to become an acceptable form of FINE ART as well as a useful tool for the commercial world.
