Cleaning Up

One of the tasks now at hand. Is the job of finding all my dead links which will be spread throughout the blog. I you find one please let me know. Its a sad job. I'm going to loose some great posts because of it. When there's a post of a particular artist I will be attempting to contact them and find the document in question. My apologies if I have to let some things go.

Today

I never stopped drawing, but now they are UX and UI Design documents. Wonderful things we call deliverables. This was in response to a question about what I've been doing. Well this is what I'm doing right now Today 6/3/19 2:29 pm.

Hi, I Think I'm Back!

Wow,
Its been a long time, There will most likely a flood of new information to share on the last NINE YEARS that this has been a zombie. I've been very busy. My most important distraction is my daughter. It was in preparation for her that this blog fell victim to. Somehow its been a lot longer than I anticipated it being, but when you meet your best friend ever and your her father I can be easy to let a lot of other hings just fall away. I'm not sure about how frequent my posts will be, but I will post and I will share again. Please forgive my absence. James Leese

Hello T-Shirt

Its been a while but I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. I have been busy thought not here. In addition to the mourning of a death in the family and also a reunion of sorts. I have been working on my baskets diligently and will share them as soon as I've finished the images for them. One recent project which I am ready to share is a couple lines of t-shirts I've recently uploaded to Redbubble This post pic is an example of the work and it can be found here and check out the others I've posted as well. I'm also thinking about doing a shirt a day blog, I hope you've all been well and are ready to see more from me. James Leese

Check Out This Awesome "Forest Urchin" Mini Munny!

Incredibly Inspired Performance Of Sarah Jones At TED

I have admit that I had no idea who she was. I am now better for having seen this and I have to say I laughed my ass off. This is twenty minutes of tour de force comedic genius, enjoy.

Boxo107 And A Rant

I had someone try to tell me today that science was bad, modern medicine was bad, and that prayer is the only real way to be whole. She shut up after I told her that I would have died at seven if not for an

I was e-mailed this the other day by a friend. I have no idea of who took it. Where it was taken, or any thing else. If someone knows, let me in on it and I will update the post, but for now its just a very strange random

If I ever figure out the source material I will share it with you. He does happen to belong to the Generated Art Group on Flickr and his stream can be found here.

The Amazing Mind Of Clifford Stoll

This guy has long been a personal hero of mine who has managed to make huge contributions across a number of scientific fields, from topology to computer science, from education to physics (and Klein bottles) and the whole time being a great inspiration to scientists in all fields.

I will be posting on his Klein bottles shortly. I've been on kind of a kick you know.

Boxo008

I'm rolling out some new stuff and working on posts. Contemplating the fragility of evil, which may be its defining feature. With the fragility of man evil can consume, but in the end evil itself is destroyed through its own fragility. Any way here's this piece its very recent and can be found here.

Haeckels's Art-forms In Nature
