Hall and Oates - Family Man

The the pop rock song Family Man was originally written and released by Mike Oldfield, and then covered by Hall and Oates.  Hall and Oates' cover was the first music video to appear on TBS' Night Tracks on June 3, 1983.

Art Appreciation

During the May Big Medium West event, I met this amazing young artist. His medium is scratchboard, colored pencils, ink, and printmaking.

Check him out on Instagram @cjtproducts

Got the big pelican all painted in! Still have a lot of work to do to finish the piece but Im very excited to have this time to get rolling on pieces. I have a commission Im getting laid out to transfer to a board as well! Love seeing the difference color makes on my boards as well compared to the black and white. Sometimes its hard to decide if I want to add color to some pieces, but Im always happy with where my work ends up. @ampersand_art #pelican #bird #crab #scene #bay #wildlife #wildlife #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #color #blackandwhite #cjtproducts #draw #drawing #artforthepeople #aftpgallery #atx #atxart #atxartist #austintexas

Found this time lapse of The Undertaker while looking for a color recipe! This 3 x 5.5' woodcut has over 30 pieces of hand dyed chine collé. About to start bulk-dying my paper in anticipation of printing these next two big ones- The Mother and The Undertaker, life and death in the series The Villagers Carrying Things From Home ✨ Chine collé is a technique of selectively adding color to a print by collaging different pieces of paper to a print while it's run through a press. My dyed papers are carefully laid upon the inked woodcut, taken to the press where a full sheet of damp paper is laid over the top, and cranked through the press, gluing all the papers together while the ink from the woodcut is transferred to the paper. It's a complicated and delicate process that takes a team to execute successfully at this scale. #woodcut #printmaking #handcarved #handdyed #dyedpaper #chinecolle #printshop #megaprintmakers #wip #flatbedpress #annalisegratovich

.@realDonaldTrump stop the twitter threats! First of all, drugs will keep on pouring into the U.S. as long as people consume them and secondly, NAFTA is a trademark for progress and success all over the world. Isolation makes everybody lose, you should know this! https://t.co/8QcNyck3wj

I guarantee you when future generations look back at the threats to the security of the United States, climate change (where Pres. Trump denies REALITY) will dwarf immigrants crossing the southern border (which Pres. Trump greatly exaggerates by stoking the politics of division).
