I created these because it pleases me to create them. Go ahead and download them, save them, give them to your friends, print them and hang them on a wall, whatever you want. "Property" is simply not a productive paradigm for art.

If you like these images and you do something special with them, I'd be glad if you could drop me an e-mail, though, as I like getting feedback. And of course you're allowed to donate, if you'd like.

The first half of 2009 was consumed by a major renovation of the new side of our house - we built a full bathroom practically from scratch - jackhammering concrete to lay sewer pipe, framing two walls, running new copper piping, doing all the electrical, drywall, tiling - all done ourselves. Custom woodwork all over, custom granite counter tops, even cutom tiled sleeves for the brushed-metal hardware.

It still isn't finished, but it's coming into shape.

And meanwhile we re-did the living room, which meant ripping out three windows and a door and completely rebuilding the walls, insulating, stucco, then putting in four new windows and a new door. And framing a new office and a storage space. Lots of handywork.

And work-work is crazy as usual.

All this by way of a bit of an apology -- there's not been a whole lot of time for art, and thus there's not been a 2009 gallery until June. Ooops. Sorry about that. Real Life[tm] does trump tinkering with pretty pictures.
