Talk about what brings you happiness these days.
One thing that brings me happiness is creating abstract artwork in old school Photoshop 5.5 using the Kai's Power Tools plug-in called Texture Explorer. Before the pandemic I was thinking of resurrecting my Titanium G4 Powerbook from 2001 and running some of the KPT visionary software that has since been abandoned. The entire process of getting the computer working in the first place made me pretty happy, and now I create a few of these cellular landscapes each day, listening to music and getting lost in the process. They each take about an hour because the CPU processing is limited to 68K and there's a lot of waiting, but it's worth it. I create them and they remind me of the way we have all changed in the past year, how we have become more aware of living life on a molecular level with differing influences as we change our behavior. I'm trying to make that awareness beautiful.

Have any government policies had a direct impact on your life lately? If so, talk about the policy that’s affected you most and the impact it’s had.
Government Checks Sent $600 Our yard is home to this owl. My neighbor is quick She has spotted him twice In our woods. . I winder what is the symbolism Does he represent anything? He enjoys our trees I wish I could spot him one day. . I thought I heard him Earlier today at the mailbox. The government respects Artists?!?! Really ?!?!! Yes. Covid stimulus check for me? Two solo art exhibitions cancelled This past April both ruined Today blame a man twice impeached. DJT this name appears on my check. A small amount of dollars from a man Who golfed a FULL year in office As president. My career worth $600? I think I heard my owl today I do not know what his presence means I study his image in the photograph And take solace in nature’s beauty.
