Going to stray from one type of art today, to another.
Heath Lowrance's book, The Bastard Hand, is now available to order!
On Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bastard-Hand-Heath-Lowrance/dp/0982843623/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1300314363&sr=1-1
And at Barnes and Noble.com : http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Bastard-Hand/Heath-Lowrance/e/9780982843628/?itm=1&USRI=heath+lowrance
This is Heath's debut published novel (and, ahem, I designed the cover!) and it is a terrific, pulpy story w/ a bit of a speculative edge.
Synopsis (from B&N site):
Charlie Wesley is not right in the head. He's escaped from a mental hospital up north and hitchhiked his way south, the voice of his dead brother urging him on. But when Charlie hits Memphis, the fine line between his delusions and reality shift in the form of the Reverend Phineas Childe-a preacher bent on booze and women; a Man of God with a dark agenda. Charlie is the perfect pawn in the Reverend's game of retribution. And the small North Mississippi town of Cuba Landing will be the setting for the Reverend's very personal Apocalypse. . . .
Oh, and see the youtube book trailer here (with original music by Nat Pike):

Just finished working with Heath Lowrance and Nat Pike on this terrific book trailer for Heath's upcoming novel, The Bastard Hand, available March 20 via New Pulp Press. Heath did the voiceover, Nat provided original music in the vein of N. Mississippi Blues, and I've got my hand in the mix a bit, too.
Now get ready to buy the book come March 20th! www.newpulppress.com!

2011 Art Project #13 Red at the DIA
Red at the DIA in 3 forms
So, Ron and I were at the DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts) today THANKS LILA AND PAPA Oooo! When we were in the contemporary art area, Little Red Riding Hood was there! I was able to snap a shot as her mom led her to another area of the modern stuff. It looked AWESOME in the camera...really pissed Ron off at how cool it looked. Well, it's a blur. I was about to give up, when Ron showed me some tricky Lightroom and Photoshop filters. Viola!

Inspired! Thinking of Icicle Works' song "Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)"
Taken on Belle Isle, feet from the canal photo (currently Untitled). Looked old school, so it's treated old school.
