The Cage #4 and #5 - "Rage" and "Bullies" (ink on paper) (Renfro-2024)

Yes, that's the same piece. At the time I didn't know it would become a series, so I just reshared it with the other two.

A recent series I've started. Left to right, "The Cage", "Anxiety", "Boxed In" (all done with ink on paper)

I turned my 15 year old grandson on to Jaco Pastorius today. He's adding bass to the several other instruments he is learning. I showed him some youtube clips of Jaco soloing. He was sufficiently...

My final new art of the year. Currently moving my studio space. "Ambient #3" (ink on paper) See you next year!

Some of my festive Holiday art. Here's to old friends and better times! Enjoy.

Yes! Actually, a couple of years ago, I made this profile when I'd forgotten my password while I was on the work computer. Plus, I have a movie page on FB called Captain Geech's Movie Meltdown, so I...

Two more recent pieces. These were both done with ink on paper.

Thanks! That's the direction my work is going in now. It's been heading that way for a while, and I've abandoned the illustrative work to explore that style of work more deeply.

I haven't done much art lately, but these are the latest entries from my studio. At this point, I have all but stopped working in my old illustrative style. From here on out, it could get weird(er)! ...

Here's one I did years ago. I was just fooling around and I wanted to do something 'Roger Dean' style. This is what you'd get if you ordered a Roger Dean print at the local Dollar Store. It was done...

That Jansen, Barbieri album, also featuring Steve Wilson and Mick Karn, is just fantastic. I spin that quite often.

Gary Numan - Pure
Depeche Mode - Spirit
Elbow - Flying Dream 1
The Pineapple Thief - Tightly Unwound

Damn, bummer...but totally understandable. Family's got to come first. It'll be interesting to see which direction this will take the band.

Today I've listened to:
Depeche Mode - Memento Mori
Richard Barbieri - Under A Spell
The Tangent - Songs from the Hard Shoulder
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin

...and here's the painting...

Ah, I saw them post about this over on FaceBook...very exciting news. It'll be interesting to see how their sound has matured all these years later.

Currently listening to The Czars - Goodbye. Quite sublime and brilliant.

I would say yes to that. It's just the natural progression of life. I accept change better than a lot of people I encounter, and roll with it better than most. I guess that's part of why I am still...

Well, I just turned 65 this year, and I've never felt more disconnected from the world around me. Recently, I've become increasingly aware that I have become invisible, as if most people out in the...

I first encountered Sparks on American Bandstand doing "This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us" from Kimono My House. Leave it to Dick Clark to go with something new and unique. I immediately...

A few years ago, pre-covid, I was fortunate enough to see Brian Wilson play the album in it's entirety. While Brian's voice wasn't what it once was, he had an amazing band consisting of most of The...

The very first music concert I ever attended was seeing Gordon Lightfoot live at the Bangor Auditorium here in Maine. That would have been about 1971-2, somewhere thereabouts. What struck me most...

Tears are not enough. I've been a fan of Rush, like many of you, since day one. Someone mentioned class and brotherhood...that's the stone cold truth. So sorry to hear of Neil's passing. What's...

Damn, this guy is good.

Anything with either Jansen, Karn or Barbieri's name on it is an autobuy for me. Love the Exit North album.

This past weekend I picked up:

Iamthemorning - both Lighthouse and The Bell
Iq - Resistance

iamthemorning - both The Lighthouse and The Bell. Damn, I can't believe it took me this long to get on board the morning train. Excellent stuff.

"The Migration of Souls" ~ my latest experiment in ink.

There's some under the turntable and some more in a cabinet right next to it. But the majority of my vinyl disappeared from storage at one point. Apparently one of my cousins took them from my...

Here's a look at part of my collection in my art studio. There are several smaller shelves around the house that I made at work out of clear vivak that I use to separate genres like surf music,...

"Summoning the Muse" ~ ink and watercolors.

13368

It is an interesting fact. Thanks for sharing it. :)

Damn, check out this lineup: Midge Ure, Pete Townsend< Mick Karn and Phil Collins.

Yes, definitely get The Tooth Mother. I have a fair amount of Japan related stuff. All of those guys, Mick in particular, have put out some very interesting work throughout the years. Jansen,...

Like NogbadTheBad said, "It's a tool album and I've always liked their sound" pretty much sums it up for me as well. I think, if you already like Tool, it'll be pretty much what you'd expect. If You...

I think their music is pretty busy...but I wouldn't call it TOO busy. I find their musicianship to be off the charts excellent personally. Just got the new album this week and am still absorbing it....

Totally agree about the physical media thing. I have only bought downloads twice and both times was hugely disappointed. And, if the album was $80, I probably wouldn't have bought it either, but it...

Well, that's not what I said at all. And I didn't say it about you specifically either. This is what I said and I stand by it. (If a person comes into a thread about ANY band, and starts taking a...

No one said people aren't entitled to their opinions. I only commented on the negative tone of the thread from page one. If a person comes into a thread about ANY band, and starts taking a crap on...

OMG...reading all this negativity is a great reminder why I don't visit here much anymore. I just finished listening to Fear Inoculum...alone, start to finish, on a good stereo...really fucking loud....

Nearly complete: "The Gestation Chamber" - watercolors and ink. Deep inside the Alien Fertility Clinic the hybrids are kept until the birthing process begins.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk Quintet - Volunteered Slavery

Hey, look what came in the mail today! I've been published! (again) :D If that isn't pretty cool, I don't know what is. :)

I started with the 3000 Days compilation which was enough for me to want to hear more of their music. I find most of their work pretty solid stuff. I especially like What We Have Sown, Little Man and...

The Tangent - Proxy. Such a nice Canterbury flavored treat!

I watch a lot of the Lost in Vegas reaction videos because they can be quite fun. Plus, seeing someone listen to a classic for the first time can be interesting as well. They cover a pretty wide...

The Divine Comedy - Office Politics. A concept album from the baroque pop master. Best thing they've done in years!

A couple of hours in my studio listening to Dead Can Dance, The Cure, Bauhaus and Nick Cave. A blank piece of paper and a pencil...and this appeared. :)

Exit North ~ Book of Romance and Dust. Featuring Steve Jansen, Thomas Feiner, Ulf Jansson, and Charlie Storm. Highly recommended if your a fan of Rain Tree Crow, David Sylvian or later day No-Man. ...

Here's the final scan of the Stephen King piece. Keeping the color palette simple was the biggest challenge for me. I ended up calling it: "The Nightmare Factory".

Still trying to come up with a title for this one...any suggestions?

My Stephen King illustration. Not sure if I'll be painting this in or not because it's working so well in B+W.

Aldous Harding ~ Designer. Fans of Kate Bush should check out this woman's work.

"The Great Bean Of Happiness" ~ Finished:

Claudine Longet - Hello Hello (compliation) was the last thing I listened to. Before that it was Devin Tonwsend's - Empath...yeah, that's how I roll. :)

I agree. I had watched this video before I saw this thread here. The guy makes a good case for CGI being worse than it was a few years ago. It all comes down to the 'time' factor. In a rush to get...

What can I say...I tend to gravitate towards weirdos (That's why I'm on this site...right?). Fans of Kate Bush may want to check this artist out.
