We Are Who We Are #1 + #2:
We Are What We Express
and
We Are What We Construct
Acrylic/Canvas
20" x 16"

There are some parts of ourselves that are very fluid - our opinions and belief systems for instance. Things that are choices and learned behaviors (racism, for instance). Then there are things we just know in our selves to be true about who we are - questions of gender or identity, the core components of our beings and how they interact with the world. They are our own puzzle pieces to unravel and no one can tell us which direction they ought to flow other than ourselves. We may be gay or straight, male or female or otherwise. We may look one way but act another. We are our own puzzle pieces to decipher. In the end, that unique structure that we are is our own inalienable truth of our own personal and unique expression. It is our own body and mind thru which we must live and thru which we try to bring the most joy to the world.

(These paintings are available. If you are interested, send me a PM)

I have an update on the progress of the book publishing project for you! I know some of you have pre ordered a copy from my website so I want to keep you posted on the progress.

(Pre-Order yours here: TenThousandVisions.com/Books :)

Last we left it, I let you know that we needed to take the project to a new printing press, located in South Korea because China was unhappy with the Tiananmen Square related painting and text. While coordinating with the new print house's specs took a bit of back & forth and some small shifts in our files, they've finally sent us a full layout proof. We have it in hand and, after going through the whole thing, catching a couple of tiny typos, and color matching, the files are back in the printer’s hands. We are now awaiting the new proofs of a few select pages to confirm the colors are right, and then it will be a "Go!" for printing the whole run.

We know that this shift has set our proposed ship date back a bit, but we are very happy we made the decision to keep the integrity of the book intact. The new print house does great, quality work. We appreciate your patience and support with helping to make this book happen, and can't wait for you to see it.

PS Enjoy the title page tease!

Here’s a little something for the dark times of winter - those doldrum times where the sun, barely peeking out from behind the clouds, shows up for a moment, and then, to crib from a poet with more years than I, shrugs and bids the day goodbye. Everything can feel so far away in these January days (at least, in the northern hemisphere). We bend ourselves to our work, our toils and travails, relishing in the little triumphs. Maybe we light some candles with dinner. Maybe find a new book to lose ourselves in. Maybe we reach out to a friend. But I get it: friends can be far away sometimes. So we reach inside, try to find that little light that we have to shelter from the storm because, in the end, each and every light makes the world a little brighter. Everything is going to be all right.

These prints are about to be shipped off out until the world. I'm grateful for that support.

Here is the thing - I know everybody seems to have a sale at this time of year, but you don't know if buying that piece of art - this print or those earrings of tthe little knit glovies, whatever it is - from some artisan - just a person out there in the world making stuff - you don't know if that thing that you've bought is the difference between them being able to buy groceries that week or making their car payment. It very well may be. It's a tough economy for artists.

Sure, if you're trying to buy a milk frother for the coffee lover in your life, you're going to go to Amazon and look for milk frothers and that's fine. But I really hope that every person could buy at least one gift on their gift buying wish lists from some artist - some creator - just another me or you. Because that little purchase makes a far bigger difference than another next day delivery from Amazon.

This isn't some shameless plug for myself although certainly I do appreciate it as well. But there are so many crafts people in our worlds. People knitting scarves or making coat racks out of old wine barrels, making soaps and salves. So give it some thought, and try to buy a few things from your favorite artists.

If you've ever wondered "who is this guy anyways?" well... here you go!

We needed to take a picture for the back flap of my book Violet is a great photographer and has a keen eye for light and angles so we spent some time in my studio, in the garden, and in the woods behind our house. "Hold Kylo Hen (the chicken) maybe you'll smile this time!" And then "Let's try it with Kitteji" (my studio cat) and so on... None of these are the pictures that made it into the book, you'll have to wait and see but here are, I suppose, some angles of Michael Divine.
