Vidrick poetry via Lady via Dall-E

April 15, 2023 No Comments

Lady ran these lines of Russell Vidrick’s poetry through the A.I. art app Dall-E.

Where to, how, and what to
do. Four and a half billion
years and my nose appears,
crooked.

Venus and Jupiter painted
on my hand. Purple, green
sky swimming in sand.

Auction of morning and
raven of wind. Cathedral
of dove and blossom of
sea.

In a clutter step storm of
galloping thunder, the very
same fire still rages.

Contois / Reynolds Stained Art Glass Studio

My Christmas gift to Lady (per her request) was a 2nd Contois / Reynolds Art Glass Studio window piece.

It hangs in our kitchen over the sink, so it dominates the room (in a good way). . . which is hard to do because it is Lady’s art kitchen.

Reynolds is my longest friend – we met in 1971 or 2 at Loyola College Baltimore.

back when I was almost cool

back when I was almost cool —

“Agent of Chaos That would be Steven B. Smith, the man behind Cleveland’s cult classic journal ArtCrimes, a limited edition lit/art publication that emerged during the mid eighties. Now you can order up your own at Steven’s agentofchaos website, launching literary outrageousness, entertaining criticism, art slide show, plus 900 pages of collage, mixed media, photography, guest artists and everything your mother warned you about. He has consistently refused to be conditioned by the public, and it’s a good thing; we love his contagion of undiluted underground art / lit / philosophy / abuse.” – – – – – – Cool Cleveland.com 09.10-09.17 2003- Tisha Nemeth, senior editor
