@thereforeijam  Mar 30, 2011
I always liked this tinted series by Fludd. I'd like to hang it as a series for "above my bed."

@thereforeijam  Mar 30, 2011
http://tinyurl.com/4aj9uaa The link! "Above my bed" is a running joke because every art piece I like I say I'll put "above my bed."

@thereforeijam  Apr 6, 2011
Going to see if the neutrino lecture for the public at Fermilab lives up to its name today: http://www.fnal.gov/pub/today/

.@MattPuchalski is installing a *brand new* Leroy Nieman original at Medinah C.C. right now. Worth a small fortune. He must be nervous!

You can get some hyperbolic geometries in bead weaving too (try round peyote with 6 or more starter ring). http://bit.ly/erkrI

@thereforeijam  May 26, 2011

@thereforeijam  Jun 2, 2011
It's 9 pm. Just been told we need more art for a 9 am art consult.

@thereforeijam  Jun 11, 2011
Business is brisk if you are a bronze sculptor who makes life sized figures of children playing. Every town around here has at least one.

@thereforeijam  Jun 11, 2011
Unthreatening, unchallenging, folksy charm is all the rage for municipal art.

@thereforeijam  Jun 11, 2011
Also popular: Bronze senior gentleman dozing on a park bench.

I'm going to climb Willis Tower. I want to do it in a King Kong costume, but that depends on how the test runs go.

@thereforeijam  Jun 23, 2011
If a stairmaster is a decent sim, you can climb the stairs of a tall skyscraper for less than 250 calories

Deep discounting bookplates so I have an excuse to see that show at the Tate and restock at Cecil Court.

@thereforeijam  Jun 29, 2011
*exhale* Painting that I shipped in a mailing tube that probably shouldn't have been shipped in a mailing tube arrived in perfect condition.

@thereforeijam  Jun 29, 2011
I have much better luck shipping unstretched rolled canvas over stretched. It's also cheaper.

@thereforeijam  Jul 1, 2011
Blissfully rolling lovely saris.

Poor, poor, neighbors.

@thereforeijam  Aug 3, 2011
I believe that the most effective placebo is an abundance of exercise.

@thereforeijam  Aug 4, 2011
There is an ambiguous age that causes a large gathering of extended relatives to gossip about whether someone has had work done.

@thereforeijam  Aug 4, 2011
Didn't know he did this. // RT @jessebdylan: Wondrous Salvador Dali images from Playboy Magazine back in the day. http://bit.ly/oTsKCg

That rough beast slouching toward Bethlehem just needed some morning joe, I'll bet.

@thereforeijam  Aug 9, 2011
Clients demand titles for abstracts. I have a dictionary. I have a dart.

@thereforeijam  Aug 11, 2011
via @Sight_Unseen et al: Inside Man Ray's studio: Hmm. Comfy and creative workspaces http://bit.ly/ofg9ws

Reading Milton's "Areopagitica." Uncertain whether he intended to filibuster or persuade.

Presenting art to interior designers

@thereforeijam  Sep 20, 2011
Gah. 10 Digital enlargements cost too much for a personal project. So I'll be spending time in a camera obscura with projecter & a Sharpie.

@thereforeijam  Sep 25, 2011
Huh. Geeky person just handed me calculation of calories burned to climb Willis Tower. Sad that all I can see is he overestimated my weight.

@thereforeijam  Sep 28, 2011
Blog of notable letterheads. Form does not follow function in FL Wright's unless he had INCREDIBLY cramped handwriting. http://t.co/yg6rSB0f

Newfangled bar-code thing on the back of some new biz cards for partner biz is a puzzle. Must need an app to learn who I am.

 @thereforeijam  Oct 10, 2011
Several minutes of pounding a rock on my barcode later and the web informs me this will add info to Contacts or direct to website. Oh.

@thereforeijam  Oct 11, 2011

Today's sole business agenda item was "Laptop from bed in the manner of Barbara Cartland."

@thereforeijam  Oct 19, 2011
Autocorrect, you enigmatic sphinx, you.

@thereforeijam  Oct 26, 2011
For the record, I make weird art. This was a commissioned bead mosaic and weave vase http://t.co/qJZpQlri

@thereforeijam  Oct 28, 2011
We hung art that came w 4' wide heavy particle board horiz. wedge hanging system....into cinder block, with huge masonry screws today.

@thereforeijam  Oct 28, 2011
Then there was this 48x56" mirror with mirrored frame with unusual and tricky hidden hangers. Heavy, so had to go into studs.

@thereforeijam  Nov 2, 2011
Wanted to finish my latest beaded globe vases by Sagan Day. Probably only have one side ready for celebratory photo.

After you make the raw chicken dance, she will be tired. Massage her with olive oil rub and put her to bed with carrots, garlic, & potatoes.

@thereforeijam  Nov 16, 2011
There aren't very many pieces by Dali that I'd want to live with but this one is fun http://t.co/ArYvXrhz

 @thereforeijam  Nov 16, 2011
Best times for creative rumination for me are--bed, car(travel in general), bath/shower, exercise. Do you have any other good ones?

@thereforeijam  Nov 16, 2011
Rumi, hell yeah!! RT @MorganLibrary: Islamic manuscript of the day: Rumi and the Reflection of Sun in a Pool http://t.co/dWZK9mq0

Daughter's drawing from art class. Note that wine goes to the top. http://t.co/v88vjfZZ

@thereforeijam  Dec 2, 2011
Thanks, Herzog, for mocking my sense of wonder. "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" heavy with melodrama and absurd solemnity.

@thereforeijam  Dec 15, 2011
One of my pet peeves is two-dimensional sculpture.

@thereforeijam  Dec 15, 2011
Then there are the paintings, drawings, photographs of...sculptures. Sometimes great & artfully chosen, other times just studies or homages.

@thereforeijam  Dec 15, 2011
Sculpture rant prompted by sculpture: bbc.in/smUCMD I like Banksy just fine; these are formal quality, nit-picky, knee-jerk complaints.

@thereforeijam  Dec 17, 2011
Testing jinx by publicly & prematurely announcing that one of my large vases might have sold at a Xmastime pop-up gallery.

@thereforeijam  Dec 18, 2011
It's flattering that someone bothered to calculate that the galaxy cluster globe vase took 80 hours of weave time and ~5,000 beads.

@thereforeijam  Dec 24, 2011
(whisper) creatures are still stirring.

@thereforeijam  Dec 31, 2011
Wish I could root around in the Vatican museum and archives stuff w/ full access for a week. Don't want to own any of it. Just really nosy.
