May 01, 2010 - Artists in the digital age

Today I read a story about how ordinary journalists are being replaced by digital journalists. To my way of thinking one of the keys to success in today's world is one's ability to use technology to enhance your m�tier or business. I truly believe that if you don't know how to use technology to your advantage you are going to be left behind.

Apr 30, 2010 - Dollars on our minds

With all this talk about financial reform it's no wonder that money is on our minds. Over the past several years Tony has created some interesting images using a dollar bill. The images are full or irony and humor.

Happy official 39th anniversary, sweet partner. Hard to believe. It was a great champagne breakfast and I enjoyed scheming about the art. I never get tired of talking with you, sweet prince. You're a fascinating man. Thank you for giving me such an interesting life.

This is another installment in a series of posts I am writing for my yet unborn great grandchildren.

Jan 31, 2010 - For my great grandchildren chapter 2

Great Grandma Marilyn originally started this post at the end of 2009. We thought a step had been taken toward reforming health care. But here it is several weeks later and the debate rages on.

Aug 06, 2009 - Something is very wrong with our system

It's not about art today. I will just say that this image is what I might have looked like if I'd been Picasso's muse. But happily I belong to Tony Karp a sweet, wonderful guy.

Jul 30, 2009 - The eyes have it

Techno-Impressionism has its genesis in photography. In that I mean it starts with the artist using his eye to capture a moment in time. For Tony it's a sketch. What happens next is an evolution (or if you don't believe in that) then a transformation, and/or just plain curiosity. No matter what you call it, it's a creative process at work. Check out the background in these images. That is the part that's changed until you get to the last one.

A key enabler is of course the ever advancing technology. The virtual tools that allow Tony to see the image a certain way and then share it with you.

Jul 17, 2009 - Pool dancer

Tony has sort of been obsessed with making an image of his shadow whenever he sees it. This time he was out on the pool deck and saw his shadow on the bottom of the pool. This is one of those images where you should get up from your chair and step back from the screen. When you do you'll see a whole different picture. Go ahead, get up stand back.
