The Anatomy of Quantum Psychology

This is the Stalk of Falsity. An anatomical drawing of an organ of negativity in thought-space (ie. the Fifth Dimension). Some liberties have been taken with the drawing, allowing for some cross-section views especially in the Quantum Appendage. Below the illustration is the actual spread (pp. 892-93) in the 5th Edition of the Anatomy of Quantum Psychology in which my commissioned ink drawings actually appear. The author, Dr. Majumdar Abdullah-Al-Kafi paid me the specific honor of admitting that this is his favorite illustration in his 1,126 page treatise on Quantum Psychology — probably the greatest honor I have ever received!

Etching Process

This is an image of one of my copper plates in the initial stages of the etching process. Although I’m supposed to keep my personal thoughts aside (thanks Sue!), this is one instance where I think the plate looks a whole lot better than the actual completed print. The black stuff coating the copper plate is highly toxic asphaltum that I have begun to scratch into revealing the shiny copper beneath. The shiny copper parts that are exposed will eventually be the areas that get etched, thus allowing ink to seep into those areas and print (as seen in the finished print).

Taurus

This is the lithographic installation, titled Taurus, I had at the Look Out Below show at the Tipton Street Gallery in Johnson City, TN. The show in general was a huge success! My piece received a pretty decent reception — what do you think?

April Fool’s Day 2008

About a month after installing You Can’t Be What You Were (the previous post) I hung up a scientific research poster in the ‘Student Research Poster of the Month’ spot, which just happened to be right around the corner from my installation. I chose the hang it up on April 1st. After taking a look at the poster, I think you’ll see why I chose that specific date:
