Interior Landscape - Acrylic On Canvas - By Julie Davis
Bangs Bangs. Sometimes fashion is the subconscious of our culture and our leaders, intentionally or not, they bring deep issues to the surface even on accident with something as seemingly petty as a hairdo. Photography and fashion lingo is very gunny. One is generally peaceful artistic practice and one kills shockingly fast. I love me some Tim Gunn but I’m more curious about the focus on Michelle Obama’s bangs as a national semi-distraction when they are called the very plural form sound of a gun going off. Lady Gaga lacks subtlety where, on purpose or not, Michelle’s hairdo symbolizes a great deal more than a fashion change while still being a simple bit of extravagance. Even in our extravagance, Michelle (who I adore and respect greatly) is saying bang. In an old batman TV show fake violence discourse on violence kind of way. #Possible Jungian Collective Conscious and Subconscious. #Typing out loud…

Portland Park Blocks, Pencil On Paper, Summer 2011 near the Portland Art Museum
As I was sitting in the sunny grass on my Grandma Davis’ picnic blanket outside the Portland Art Museum (purposely early for a date — so I could draw), this gruff but respectful man walked up to me in the Park Blocks asking whether I had “a light”. I said, “No but good luck.” He said, “But what’s that right there?” I said, “My eraser. See?” Holding it up to show him and then pointing at this drawing in progress. He said, “Oh, okay cool. Totally looks like a lighter! Thanks.” I smiled because I never thought of my eraser that way and went on drawing while waving a good luck wave. I think another block down, he probably found somebody with one.
