New CD release
I am working on a new CD. Since last November I have been inspired on many levels. Someone suggested I work on more music with a specific theme, so the result is a suite of four pieces based on the … Continue reading
Music in the Wind
Sometimes I have been travelling long distances, on divided roadways especially, and heard music coming from the tiretreads and passing vehicles. The sound of wind whistling through the no-draft (those little triangular windows were popular through the ’50s set just … Continue reading
Koi Paintings
A page of Koi paintings from the early ’70s until the late ’80s is being prepared for those who are interested in this period of my work. I am not saying I will never paint another Koi painting, just not … Continue reading
Playing Theremin, painting with sound.
I’ve been working on music as much as possible, between painting commisssions and an intense load of picture-framing. My PAiA Theremax is an excellent instrument after Scott took some time to look it over and find some simple errors I … Continue reading
Stealth Pepper
I was sitting and in conversation with my wife while driving across town on a Saturday afternoon. It was like one of those conversations from recent Sonic ads. Remember? It’s a conversation that looks like two strangers sitting in the … Continue reading
Theremin Page update
I finally have something worth showing of my Theremin Project. Check it out- it is photographed in front of a big painting I’m working on for an individual in North Dallas. I like heterodyning between bouts of painting, I feel … Continue reading
My Theremin Project
Some might be wondering what I’ve been up to since July. Well, after my trip to Wash. D.C. I have been returning to my “roots.” When I was a teen, my Dad was an electronics engineer, and brought home a … Continue reading
Cerealogy Stereogram boxes
I have finally set up a site to view these images at http://www.lpkaster.com/Stereobox1.html I am working on the prices and putting in the tags to go to Paypal. There are a great many more images that can be handled in this … Continue reading
Cerealogy
I’m preparing a page of Crop Circle stereograms, titled “Cerealogy”. I may offer the images printed in 11″ square format mounted to boxes or framed in one or two profiles. The oldest reference to a crop circle is a medieval woodcut … Continue reading
Stereogram
When I looked for stereograms to add to a collage today, I pulled some prints from a couple of years ago. I gave them a long “look” and realized again just how much I really like what they do. One … Continue reading
Texas Tea
I was thinking back to when it was that I realized I wanted to be a potter, and how all that changed in 1976 at the Kimbell Art Museum in Ft. Worth. It was an encounter that truly changed my … Continue reading
Reductions
What I mean by “reduced” to teaching, is that it has always been clear to me that my teachers would have been just as happy to stay in their own studios and work, but of course they needed a salary. … Continue reading
Color predictions for 2007
I have compiled a list of the colors predicted to be most popular this year. One might scoff and declare that this doesn’t matter very much, but in the professional art marker it is vital. The purist in art trained … Continue reading
Welcome
I wonder what function a monarchy can have in the 21t century. Someone made a statement about something “injuring the monarchy” today, and I couldn’t help thinking how little this could matter in our time. What possible need is there … Continue reading
My Scary Predictions I
Even as a child I was fascinated with “fringe” sciences and unusual developments in social order. As a young Cub Scout I just happened to be introduced to Honeywell’s early experiments with LASER technology. The den leader worked in the … Continue reading
Additions to my Pottery Page
I don’t know why, we just felt compelled to give a good account of the whole pottery aspect of my career. I also have other areas that are not represented yet, but in time they might come out. Selling pottery … Continue reading
Anti-war demonstration images
It was very clear to (us) that another “war” was a massive mistake. The photos have a sense of history to them now. I wonder what the historical interest might one day be? Do I need to wait until the … Continue reading
reviewing bydate CDs for more images.
I just reviewed some CDs to find images for the years 2003-006 and found some images taken from my videotape of the Iraq anti-war demonstrations just prior to the invasion. I wonder if I need to wait until we withdraw … Continue reading
New paintings approved
A tryptich for one of our clients was finished and approved today. The style is one of smooth lines that simulate calm clouds and seas. Strangely, the preferred colors are an orangish green- an existing canvas with the same colors … Continue reading
