"Hand Made" Stop Motion Videos

Karolien Soete's stop-motion film of nearly two thousand separate images was painted and photographed from April through July, 2013 in an empty furniture factory in Belgium.

finally have enough reasons to try blogging. So here we go. Or better here I go, as right now I am all alone here in Lynchburg. Let's see what comes out of my sometimes twisted and sometimes knotted up brain.

The blog will be about my art, art of my friends, what I see here in Lynchburg (and wherever my feet will carry me), and what catches my attention on the web.

Here I little mandala that I made a few weeks ago. Just can't stop making them. Something about them is absolutely intriguing for me.
