Introducing Eliza Cooney
I met Eliza when I was making prints of my art at the local copy shop. She liked them and bought some for her grandson, and told me that she was an artist, and had been an art teacher in a school for a long time.
I went to see her paintings, and we also got together to talk about art, and visited each others studios. She is a very friendly and creative person, and those are two attributes I value highly. She's also teaching a new series of art workshops, and I will put up the info for them here.
Here's some of her words from her brochure:
Everyone has greater powers than they realize.
“To engage and persist”
…a multifaceted approach...
Making art is a continuum of making choices, connections.
Art is vital to happiness.
Background
Eliza Cooney studied at Smith College as an Ada Comstock Scholar and has been teaching art for thirty years.

Return of the Slacker - The Book
I made a book of the poems on my other blog, Return of the Slacker, and now you can get a copy yourself. It has around 182 poems in it, and a bright modern painting of mine on the cover. Many people have enjoyed reading my poems, and I wanted to make them available in another way, so more people can.
Get one today!

Soft and Tender Love Stories
A thing I made a while ago, with scraps I found on the ground or on something I was throwing out. I don't have the original anymore, just the original photocopies of the arrangement.

Quark Dreams
I had this dream
that I was explaining to Robby
that when electrons jump from state to state,
they sometimes emit photons.
I woke up
and thought about
that living beings
are made of the same stuff,
like electrons and protons,
as other matter,
and that
all those weird quantum things
apply to the underpinnings
of our own selves.
Do we emit photons
every once in an improbable while?
do our protons ever decay?
do we have junk DNA and multiple back up RNA
to compensate for quantum randomness
that might disturb our
cellular reproduction?
I pictured us
as glowing collections
of subatomic particles,
heat, trapped and controlled
by elaborate methods,
like neurons and DNA.
