So it's really very rare that I write anything here informational. Usually it's poetry or pictures. That is probably why I don't get as many hits to this site as I'd like. It may also be because I'm not selling some hip product. In any case, this one's for the bloggers. My good friend, Ryan (www.deramos.org) discovered this cool widget system called Blog Rush. It's free and very cool because you sign up and put the widget on your blog. Then other people's blogs with similar content show up in the little window and likewise, your blog shows up in everyone else's window. It's a VERY new service but a very good one for making a visit to your blog more enjoyable for readers while getting plugging your site at the same time! Anyway, given that most people who read these things also have one themselves, I thought I'd share. You can go HERE to sign up or check it out. Thanks for stopping by JasonLoyaCreations!

This painting is called An Arbitrary Answer to a Complex Question. It is thick and has tiny letters of the alphabet typed with a typewriter on vellum and then cut out and spread throughout the upper region of the piece.
Oil on canvas 30"x40"
This is a beautiful thing that only happens in a photograph:

This is not on canvas. I built the piece into a wooden canvas frame starting with a masking tape skeleton and collage on top. The back is painted with acrylic and sealed with acrylic gel so the thing is solid.
It is made of paper, dictionary pages, animal biology notes, magnetic tape, masking tape, plastic, string, rubber bands, cellphone parts, ink, metal, plastic ants, and pencil. There may be some other things in there but it's hard to say.

This is one of the first paintings that I ever did. It's from around 1994. Anything that I did before this was just a warm up - or I was doing a lot of drawing. I used oil and acrylic. It is 9"x12". I unearthed this painting recently and photographed it. Upon doing so, the image re-inspired me and I thought it would be interesting to digitally manipulate it in my computer (something I never do out of respect for the art). Since it had been so long and I had all but forgotten about this piece, I felt the move was justified. Here is the 21st century digital version:
