https://www.instagram.com/wolvesofgray This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.

Red and White Walls

Photographer Unknown, (Red and White Walls)

“The Savage nodded, frowning. “You got rid of them. Yes, that’s just like you. Getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it. Whether ’tis better in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them…But you don’t do either. Neither suffer nor oppose. You just abolish the slings and arrows. It’s too easy.”

“What you need,” the Savage went on, “is something with tears for a change. Nothing costs enough here.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Jean Isherwood

Jean Isherwood, “Emus on the Plain”, Date Unknown, Oil Paint on Board, 23 x 35 Inches

Australian painter Jean Isherwood, born in 1911, studied at East Sydney Technical College and took Royal Art Society classes with Italian-born art teacher Dattilo Rubbo. Influenced by prevailing modernist movements of the 1930s, she exhibited first in 1934 with the Australian Watercolor Institute, of which she became a member in 1947.

Between 1950 and 1980 Jean Isherwood won 19 prizes for watercolors and 37 for oil paintings. She taught at the National Art School in Sydney from 1961 to 1974. Isherwood was an exacting teacher, placing emphasis on perspective drawing, anatomy and design.

In 1959 Jean Isherwood travelled aroung New South Wales by car. From that time onward, she becamae primarily a landscape painter and a major exhibitor in competitions. Isherwood died at home at the age of ninety-four. Her funeral notice requested the those attending should wear bright colors.

Fabric Bending Property

Photographer Unknown, (Fabric Bending Property)

Bending Property

The fabric bending property is apparently a function of the bending property of its constituent yarns. Two parameters can be used to measure this property, i.e. B and 2HB. B is bending rigidity, a measure of a fabric ability to resist to a bending deformation. In other words, it reflects the difficulty with which a fabric can be deformed by bending. This parameter is particularly critical in the tailoring of lightweight fabrics. The higher the bending rigidity, the higher the fabric ability to resist when it is bent by an external force, i.e. during fabric manipulation in spreading and sewing. Apart from for the bending rigidity of the constituent yarns and fibers, the mobility of the warp/weft within the fabric also comes into play in this aspect. In addition, the effect of density and fabric thickness are also very profound for this property. 2HB represents the hysteresis of the bending moment. It is a measure of recovery from bending deformations. A lower value of 2HB is supposed to be better.

Susan Clinard

Sculptures by Susan Clinard

Following a degree in Sculpture and Cultural Anthropology from the University of Michigan, Susan moved to Chicago in 1995 where her gift for storytelling took root. While exhibiting her art at multiple venues throughout the city Susan also taught stone carving at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, sculpture at the Palette and Chisel Academy, and Gallery 37.

Susan’s sculptures reflect her strong desire to honor nature’s pure form. Whether she is sculpting from life or carving wood, Susan strives to reveal nature’s truths, distorted or with perfect symmetry. She also finds inspiration in humanity’s constant cycle of tearing down and rebuilding. Her work explores that duality between the ugly and the beautiful: she cannot see one without the other: they are one and the same.

In 2007 Susan and her family moved to Connecticut where she is currently busy making art for various gallery exhibitions as well as public and private commissions. She has also been the Artist in Residence at the Eli Whitney Museum for the last five years.

Beautiful Natural Abstractions from Protobacillus

Protobacillus is an art project by Gustavo Spredemann and Leone Simonetti, two Brazilian graphic designers/artists. We create abstract animations that take inspiration from nature and digital media. The unique result of this collaboration ranges from organic to psychedelic, or a combination of both.
