Hi and welcome to J.Lee Arts and Music. Work on my new painting has begun. Abstract art is a wrestling match of me vs. canvas. I start with an idea and pretty soon get off track. This is not necessarily a bad thing cuz new ideas can be stumbled upon, but overall, those ideas should be subordinate to the original purpose and maybe made into their own painting later.
Brand New on the Music page are a pair of Noise Star vids circa 1995 and a vid of a recent collaboration with my friend Stirling where we do en plein aire synthesis performed at India Basin Shoreline Park on the SF Bay. Also, on the Art page got a couple new paintings. One abstract, the other a landscape vista from a neighborhood rooftop. I have added a new Archives page which will eventually be where much of this content will live as well as older archives I keep finding online. Leave me a comment if you like. I’d love to hear from YOU. Thanks for checking out the site!
Thanks to all who came out to the Adobe to share and participate in this musical experience. Marina played a great set dueted with Kevin Van Yserloo on violin. Starry Skemes had a great heartfelt trance inducing and fun set. It was a pleasure. Thanks to Tom Scharff for stagehanding and recording and Jonnie Fellmen for hosting!
The 8 Clock
I was cleaning out my storage space/studio putting all the bits of wire, screen, circles, chickenwire, lamp shade parts an a slew of other junk into a bin and thought to myself “this is the collection of a madman.” I mean, it makes sense to me but it just looks like madness. Of course there is a method to the madness and that method is called chaos where ideas will likely jump out of the creative ether. These objects pictured here were at the top of the bin and kinda looked cool, so I pulled them out and made this piece. It’s called the 8 Clock, as if it’s always 8:00, but the trick is turn 8 sideways and you have infinity!
Best of Luck!
Thanks!
