Yet another Cola, Lola, Yola Bola Production.

You may be familiar with the story of the young boy with five loaves and 2 fish that are transformed to feed the multitudes. A faithful story, full of wonder and great mental/visual imagery…

“Blind Venetian ALWAYS Tells the Truth!!!”

by David LaPlantz ·

As we are now 4 days into the typical 365 changeover, the Blind Venetian has been practicing her skills.
Here is an excellent example of one of those practice runs.
Let the light shine.
Let the light within shine.
Let the light blind those who tell not THE truth…

“In ten years, you’ll be embarrassed by this photo!”

by David LaPlantz ·

David recently sent to this photo to an old friend from Cranbrook Academy of Art Daze.

Howard Crisp took this picture of me working away at my bench, 1968-69. The photo represented me in my master’s thesis. My teacher said quote “In ten years, you’ll be embarrassed by this photo!”
My response, “No, I won’t!”
There was a dent, in the ceiling above his head, after my honest response!

Guess what?
I am still not embarrassed by the photo.
It was me then, it is me now.
I liked who I was then and still believe in that artist and human, I have matured to be in the last 47 years.
Ain’t life a gift and worth it all?

Happy New Year, 2018 to you all.
Keep up your art, your life, your faith and trust…

BYW-the radio on right pix side was either tuned into WXYZ, Keener Radio – WKNR or probably CKLW, info for those who knew Detroit radio then.
If this was a night time photo, a Detroit jazz station was on, mellow and inspiring…
