"untitled" acrylic on plywood 18.5x18.5" 2012

Been thinking about weak ideas and humor.

Almost here (Bristlecone pine)

How is this tree going to travel? Weather is right cold. Hopefully these holding facilities are not too heated.  In the wait, we are making a one gallon paint can out of block Island clay from the bluffs experimenting with molds made out of cardboard. 

Bristlecone Pine Bonsai

 

Top: Bristlecone Pine 3 years old this tree is already dead. Left it with a friend who over-watered it in august when they are done growing and should be dry pretty much through winter. This is my second try. Just ordered from another tree from the place listed. This is the picture they provided, I am expecting something much smaller as these trees grow really slowly. I will not leave this new tree to anyone but an expert to take care of.  For the longest living thing on the face of the earth are they prone to death.

No electricity in Rockaways

Set up FEMA Emergency Alternative Housing in the Rockaways NOW

Started by: Greater NYC for Change

Since Hurricane Sandy tore through New York City over two weeks ago, tens of thousands of people in the Rockaways have been living without heat, electricity, or running water -- and now freezing temperatures could threaten their lives.

Unless FEMA steps in right away, children, the elderly, and the sick could be in danger of hypothermia as they are exposed to freezing nighttime temperatures this week. Rockaway residents with no access to heat or electricity urgently need FEMA to set up emergency stations that will provide heat, warm meals, medical care, and a warm place to sleep.

Emergency workers and volunteers are helping storm victims around the clock -- but with the lines of communication down, storm victims in the Rockaways need our help getting their message out.
It's reported that full power may not be restored to the Rockaways until mid-December -- which is why it is so vital that the city dispatch emergency housing and supplies immediately. Please sign this petition right away and share it with everyone you can to help save lives in the Rockaways before it's too late.
This petition was started by Greater NYC for Change, part of a coalition of 45 political and advocacy groups seeking to bring attention to the needs of people in the Rockaways following Hurricane Sandy.
