and the reason is when the day seems like it will be slightly less than exciting I get out my camera and take photographs. If that is an indicator of how frequently I feel in danger of being bored then I haven’t been even close in a very long time. In fact, these are the first pieces of photographic art I have made since January 14, 2009. That is a scary long time, but I was getting interested in other things. I am feeling pretty good about these two, so maybe I’ll make some more. I mean, I should probably use that degree I spent decades getting every once in a while.

Some of you may recognize these flowers from a previous project, completed during my second photography course some four-ish years ago. I sewed them out of fabric from an old t-shirt and gave them wire armatures on a Saturday night during the spring semester of my 3rd year. I know this because I was listening to smooth, sexy R&B songs on the radio. I really do miss listening to Super Soul Saturday. Anyway, here are some new creations.

“Closed-System”

“Basic Flowers”

Due to file size limitations I cannot upload a version of the flower composite that I feel is of adequate dimension. So I am posting each part of the triptych separately.

I photographed the EUP Print Club’s Exquisite Corpse Set. There will be more info on it soon enough.

This is an illustration for a friend’s short story that I literally just finished 30 seconds ago. His story is being published very soon so hopefully this will be elsewhere on the webs momentarily.

“Inside Out”

If you live in or around Pittsburgh, are going to be in Pittsburgh or want to visit Pittsburgh this Friday, April 2, come to Most-Wanted Fine Art, 5015 Penn Ave. The opening for the John Lysak and friends printmaking show in the gallery will be at 7 pm. I will be there and so will some things I made!

Also, if you received a printer’s hat or a scrap of paper with terrorkill.com written on it, and are now perusing this tiny spec of the interwebs, send me and email or message me and tell me how cool you are. mdaburch@gmail.com
