With a few discarded mailing tubes, construction paper, and Fiskars Squeeze Punches you can craft these characters in under 20 minutes.
The AdvantEdge™ Punch System features slide-and-lock technology that makes punching perfectly aligned borders easier than ever.
This allows you to add windows in any location on your scrapbook page, card, or other paper craft. The Starter Set comes with a reusable base, clear alignment grid, and an interchangeable square punch design. Here's how you make a punch.
Load the square cartridge into the base with the square design facing up. It will only fit in one direction, so there's no worry of loading it incorrectly. Press down until it clicks into place. To remove the cartridge later, press into the circle at the bottom of the base to release the cartridge. Lay your paper over the loaded base and top with the clear magnetic grid.
The magnets will automatically align the punch in the correct position. At this point you can move the paper around to the desired location as the punch will now stay in position. You can use the grid to help line up perfect repeat punches. Once you locate the spot you wish to punch, load the top square punch onto the grid (it will only fit one way) and press down. Now you have your punch anywhere you wish with limitless possibilities!
The other interchangeable designs currently available are a Circle, Scalloped Circle, and Scalloped Square. These are all versatile designs that can get a lot of mileage.
Now that we know how to use the Everywhere Punch, let's see it in action! Adding circle elements to a layout is a fun way to add lots of different little bits and pieces without all of the chaos. Each circle houses a little arrangement of something new.
In this birthday layout, I punched several circles from a sheet of yellow cardstock and filled each differently, from an embossed spiderweb to my journaling to a festive shaker box. Shaker boxes are a great use for the Everywhere Window Punch. Not only can you punch the cut-out design, but with the punch's flexibility, you can also punch the design out of a thin sheet of self-adhesive craft foam for a perfect seal instead of messing around with foam adhesive dots.
Here's how to make the shaker box shown. Punch a circle onto your cardstock and punch the same circle from a sheet of self-adhesive craft foam. Adhere a piece of transparency (or recycle some clear packaging) over back of cardstock circle window. Peel the backing from the foam and adhere aligned over the back of the punched cardstock circle. Fill with shaker filler (this confetti is simply assorted cardstock punched with the one quarter inch circle hand punch) and adhere a piece of cardstock to back to seal which will show through to the front when confetti is relaxed.
The Everywhere Punch is perfect for adding windows to cards. But the design can be elongated as shown in this card. I wanted my sentiment to show through the front of the card, but it was too long for any of the designs. An easy solution is to line up a row of overlapping scalloped squares to form a scalloped rectangle!
Make your first punch where you want the right side of your rectangle to begin. Then slide the punch down and align the first set of scallops of the design with the last set of scallops of the previous punch. Continue down the line until you reach desired width.
Here's another fun technique to use with the versatile Everywhere Window Punch. Punch a design into your cardstock and then feed small punches (such as the hand punches and pop-up punches) up through the center to add punches from within. Here I added a circle of butterflies using the Butterfly Pop-up Punch.
The freedom to add windows anywhere you wish can open up many new opportunities in crafting! From adding peek-through windows on your mini-album pages to treat and gift bags, the Everywhere Punch packs a lot of versatile punch!

Marshals need help locating man
The U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force said it's asking the public to help locate Justin Wilson. Wilson, 28, is wanted by the Rockingham County Sheriff for a probation violation on a charge of a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon.
Authorities said he was last seen in the 400-block of Pine Street in Manchester. The U.S. Marshal's Service said Wilson is suicidal and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone who knows Wilson's whereabouts should contact the U.S. Marshal's Joint Fugitive Task Force at 225-1632. Wilson is described as a white male, 5-foot-7, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

IBM Launches 2nd Annual Smarter Cities Challenge
IBM Launches 2nd Annual Smarter Cities Challenge
At a time when corporations' misdeeds are under a bright spotlight (and rightfully so,) we needn't overlook the few companies that are working to bring innovation and technology to cities across the planet in desperate need of modernization. One of those companies is IBM, which is currently working on its 2nd annual Smarter Cities Challenge.
The program for this year will include a $50 million grant to cities to help improve infrastructure, technology, and energy efficiency. From a press release on this year's program:
This highly successful grant program provides select applicant cities with access to teams of elite IBM employees with expertise on a variety of urban-related matters, such as finance, sustainability, public safety, and citizen services. They devote weeks of their time analyzing unique opportunities and challenges facing municipalities, particularly within the context of today's challenging economic climate. After conferring with officials, citizens, businesses, academics and community leaders, the IBM teams recommend actions to make the delivery of services to citizens more efficient and innovative. Issues addressed include jobs, health, public safety, transportation, social services, recreation, education, energy, and sustainability.
Earlier this year, IBM's Smarter Cities Challenge announced its 2011 grant winners, which included grants for much-needed environmental improvements in developing areas. For example, the city of Antofagasta, Chile received grants to help improve their irrigation systems, a social media infrastructure to voice environmental concerns, and an sustainable green energy program that will pull in government, academics, and private sector companies to help shift the city to cleaner, renewable energy programs.
The city of Boulder, Colorado was awarded for their clean energy efforts, as well. Their projects include green infrastructure management, helping small and medium-sized businesses with energy efficiency, and helping create awareness of and interest in solar and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Townsville, Australia was also among this year's winners, receiving grants to help improve solar energy technology and penetration, as well as other smart grid technologies.
Some reporters have pointed out that the program is a means for IBM to help spread their own technology into areas, as a way to bolster their market penetration. This may be true, but they also point out that it is difficult to deny the effectiveness of the program. Whether or not IBM's philanthropy will influence other businesses to do the same remains to be seen.

News : Watson return creates selection headache
Players/Officials: Mickey Arthur | Michael Hussey
Series/Tournaments: Australia tour of India
Teams: Australia
Australia coach Mickey Arthur has said the selectors would welcome Michael Hussey back if he decided to make a return for this year's Ashes series, given the lack of experience in Australia's Test squad. However, Arthur said he was confident that in time the younger members of Australia's team would be capable of filling the vacuum left by the retirements of Hussey and Ricky Ponting, although their absence had contributed to the slipping team culture over the past few months.
Arthur also conceded he had put his job on the line with the uncompromising decision to leave four players out of the Mohali Test due to their failure to complete a task in which they were asked for ideas on how they and the team could improve. But he said such a move was necessary to bring the culture of the team back to where it needed to be following the departures of Ponting and Hussey, whose intense work ethic served as examples to their younger colleagues.
A Hussey comeback appears unlikely given his decision to retire was made largely due to his desire to spend more time at home with his young family, and the Ashes tour would require him to be away for two and a half months. But the Australians have missed Hussey badly during the ongoing Indian tour and given that he has remained a solid run-scorer in the Sheffield Shield, Arthur said the door would be open if he wanted to return.
"We'd certainly listen to Mike Hussey if Mike Hussey came knocking at our door," Arthur said. "But that's a hypothetical at the moment. He's retired. We've moved on now, you know. Yeah we miss him. We miss the aura of Ricky Ponting. But I'm hoping that these younger players will take over that mantle in time to come. They're nowhere near ready yet.
"But in time to come they've got to step up and take on those mantles because they're going to be the role models for the next generation of cricketers. I'm confident we've got the best players here. These guys just need to be given that confidence and just need to stand up. I'm pretty sure they will."
However, the young squad did need a rev up from Arthur, captain Michael Clarke and team manager Gavin Dovey last week when those four players were left out of the team. The bold decision was described by Arthur as a line in the sand after standards had slipped among the wider playing group during the Indian tour, from players being late to meetings to wearing the wrong uniforms, to giving back-chat.
The decision has split opinion in the cricket world and although Cricket Australia's board backed the team management in their move, Arthur is well aware that it could be a make-or-break moment in his coaching career. Arthur took the reins of the Australia team in late 2011 but it is 2013 that will define the Arthur-Clarke leadership team, with two Ashes series coming up. Things have not started well in India.
"I would say I've put my neck on the line," Arthur said. "But I've put my neck on the line because I'm really passionate about Australian cricket and I'm very passionate about this team. I want this team to achieve ultimate success and that's to get to number one in the world. It was needed. It had to happen and the responses have been fantastic. I'm comfortable. It was a week of massive pain. It really was. But I'm comfortable.
"I sit here now knowing that this team is going in the right direction. People will say why did it take so long. It took so long because the team was running itself, because we had some senior players around it; we don't have those senior players around this team any more. This team needed to be shown direction and it got a pretty clear message of that before this Test match."
"We've got to understand where we're at at the moment with a very young group of players that needs to be shown the right way to go. If you've got older, senior players the team governs itself and then it's easy just to run and coach. If you've got a young team you need to grab the team and really make the players understand what their responsibilities and ownerships are of the side."
Although Arthur is happy with the response from within the squad after the tumultuous past week, his hardline stance has brought him plenty of criticism from former players, fans and the media. In fact, the online abuse became so bad that Arthur decided on Tuesday to delete his Twitter account.
"I think if you're on it you just open yourself up to that [abuse]," he said. "There has been some very positive stuff as well, but it's not worth it. I've got bigger things to worry about than Twitter to be honest."

Not all is what it seems at Koons Toyota Scion in the friendly community of Westminster. I had considered both new and used cars before settling on trying to buy new. The used car department seemed to want to push me into a vehicle which made me apprehensive. I wanted a certified Toyota, but I quickly realized that was an issue with the used car department as there wasn't enough profit for them to certifiy the vehicle. A short finance manager with an accent tried to convince me otherwise, while he was trying to upsell me on dealer products. His tactics seemed to benefit him moreso than me, the consumer. I went over to new cars to look at economy vehicles with the intention of reviewing numbers first. Along came a gruff in appearance, sales manager, whose lack of eye contact and hint of last night's spirits gave me reservations about doing business here at all. A blond haired gentleman with glasses and also an accent, came over to speak with me, which I appreciated, but his approach was more condescending then purposeful. I excused myself and left.

In honor of the polar vortex currently wrapping its ice-cold hands around the country's throat, we thought it would be fun to take a trip to a summertime favorite: the amusement park.
Get ready to have your emotions played like a flute.

Bubble Words
"Complexity excites the mind, and order rewards it. In the garden, one finds both, including vanishingly small orders too complex to spot, and orders so vast the mind struggles to embrace them."
Diane Ackerman
Another page in my Play Journal. This is gouache on Schut watercolor paper doodled with J. Herbin Encre de Chine black ink. I received a bottle of this ink and a pad of paper from Clairefontaine for testing.
The coolest thing about this ink is the super shiny surface. Below, a photograph taken in the sun from a side angle so that you could see the shimmery shine. It's simultaneously fluid and opaque which is a wickedly wonderful combination in an ink.
I filmed a video to show you how I doodled this page. There was no advance plan other than filling in all of the sections I had created with paint. Isn't that the root of doodling, to just MOVE that pen, to draw or write or whatever, without thinking about it first? Watch it here or pop over to Vimeo to watch {2 min}
So here's my review! This is a very liquid ink that flows nicely through the dip pen nib. The J. Herbin website description includes, "This ink's principal component is the lacquer found in the Punjab region of India. J. Herbin began production of China ink in 1829." "Shellac type lacquer dries to a nice shine." "Great permanency of color." There is no specific lightfastness information. The day after drawing these doodles, I went over a bunch of the lines with a wet brush and there was no bleed at all. Any bleed that you see in the photograph is because bits of the gouache weren't completely dry when I inked the page... or due to my clumsiness with the dip pen!

Ruinas Chichén-Itzá Things to Do
El Mercado - Market
The Market (or El Mercado in Spanish) is a seventy six meter-long raised portico filled with alternating square and rounded columns stretching east and west.Its center is a square building with tall, rounded columns that would have originally supported a roof of wood or thatch. The Market was named as such by the early Spanish colonists who were...more
Group of the Thousand Columns
The Group of the Thousand Columns (or Grupo de las Mil Columnas in Spanish) adjoins the Temple of the Warriors on its south side.We have been told that the original purpose of which remains something of a mystery. It may have served as an indoor market or place of assembly. Nearby you will see:1) the small ball court (Juego de Pelota), 2) the...more
House of the Deer
The House of the Hunt (another name – Temple of the Hunt) is located in a small plaza south of the Osario.This plaza also holds the Red House and the House of the Metates. The House of the Deer was built on a platform with rounded corners and an undecorated facade, similar to the Red House and House of the Metates. This building is called the House...more
Southern sector with Akab D'zib
The southern sector is located behind the Nunnery and the Church.This sector includes:1) the Temple of the Panels (Templo de los Tableros) with reliefs of Toltec warriors and jaguars;2) the Akab D'zib (Mayan: "obscure writing"; Building of the Unknown Writing), so named because of the as yet undeciphered characters above the door of the second...more
Nunnery Annex
The Nunnery Annex is the most beautifully ornately-decorated building within the Central Group. It is located close to the Nunnery building itself and to the Church.It is topped by a roof comb with lattice motifs featuring Chaak masks.Though it has recently been postulated that these curl-nosed images are actually intended to represent the Witz, or...more
Red House - Casa Colorada
The Red House (or Casa Colorada in Spanish) stands atop its platform. Its another name is the Chichan Chob. The building got its modern-day nickname because, at the time of its discovery, it still displayed vestiges of red paint because of its white stone turned golden by the setting sun.more
Ruinas Chichén-Itzá Restaurants
Great Lunch at Swanky Resort
So here we are, two sweaty messes after spending 3 hrs at Chichen-Itza, starving and not wanting to see another tourist. The entrance to Hotel Mayaland is blocked by 3 tour buses... NOT what we were looking for. So we turned into this exquisitely manicured "Hacienda Chichen" hoping to get a good drink, some lunch, and some quiet. What a gorgeous...more
Snack Bars on the Grounds
Once you've entered the grounds at Chichen Itza, be prepared to spend at least 3 to 4 hours wandering the grounds. It's best to bring plenty of water with you, but if you run out or need a snack, there are two rest stops (that we found) on the grounds that can save you from the hassle of trekking back to the welcome center for supplies. The first...more
Welcome Center Restaurant
After wearing yourself out looking at all of the ruins, take a break at the restaurant in the welcome center. The menu is somewhat overpriced, but this shouldn't come as a surprise, given that there are no other food options around. We were too hot to eat but got wonderful fruit drinks there. They cost 40 pesos, which seems a bit steep, but they're...more
Ruinas Chichén-Itzá Transportation
How to get to Chichen Itza
You can get to Chichen Itza by bus or car via the MEX 180 from Mérida (1.5-2.5 hours; 116km/72mi) or Valladolid (1 hour; 42km/26mi). An air taxi service is also available.We got there from Merida and were there in the afternoon. It was rather hot in this time that's why staying in the Chichén Itzá area allows visitors to visit early in the morning,...more
Get there from Valladolid
Piste is the closest city to Chichen Itza, but it doesn't have much to see or do there. And the hotels can be quite pricy. The best option is to stay in Valladolid and then catch a second class bus from Valladolid to Chichen Itza. The bus ride is about 45 minutes and costs less than $5. It is worth it because Valladolid is a very cute city and...more
Bus Between Valladolid and Chichen Itza
Taking the bus from Valladolid to Chichen Itza is simple and quick. Second class Oriente buses leave from the bus terminal at Valladolid starting at 7:15am. There's a bus approximately every 30 minutes. The ride costs 20 pesos and takes about 45 minutes. Getting back is slightly trickier. Buy your ticket at a small ticket counter in the back of the...more
Ruinas Chichén-Itzá Shopping
As usual in such tourist spots in Mexico can see a large number of traders of souvenirs. In Chichen Itza there were many souvenirs for sale. At the edges of hiking trails were the local Indians, and offered a variety of goods. I am not a big fan of such purchases since then as my bookcase filled with guidebooks and a sideboard filled with mugs,...more
Plates and Bowls
For sale around the ruins All around the ruins, people are selling things. We got a couple plates here, but I wanted one more. I figured I could find one when we got to Cancun. I was wrong! I only found one at a market in Cancun, and it was much more expensive than they were in Chichen Itza.more
Exquisite Mayan Replicas, Jewelry and...
Toh Boutique, located within the Hacienda Chichen & Yaxkin Spa in Chichen Itza, is a rare jewel of a giftstore with the best collection of Maya Replica Pottery, textiles, silver jewelry, crafts and handmade aromatherapy bath oils, soaps, etc. The boutique is runned by volunteers of the Maya Fundation In Laakeech, a civil organization that helps...more

Ruinas Chichén-Itzá Warnings and Dangers
Think about the descent
It's a temptation, climbing to the pyramid! However, you may be warned that, once in the top, everything changes: the steps are narrow and steep. Once up there, you turn back, and before a deep breed with the clouds giving the sensation that you are in a bouncing platform, it will seem that the steps... were gone, replaced by a long and extremely...more
Gas Station Scams!!!
I have driven all over the Yucatan and filled up and numerous Pemex gas stations, but it was the one right next to Chichen Itza that tried to cheat me. They of course insist on filling up your tank for you and and as I was watching the counter on the gas tank I noticed a few moments after it stopped pumping the price on the pump almost doubled....more
"Let's Get Physical, Physical..."
Aaaah, there's nothing that screams "Mexico!!!" like driving through the Yucatan countryside, on the way back from Chichen Itza, listening to...the Best of Olivia Newton-John! Yep, that's what they had playing on the bus.I'll always have fond memories of Olivia after that heeheeeee!!!more

Shopping at Chichen Itza
There are A LOT of vendors at Chichen Itza. Some of them are selling items for a good deal, but for the most part, they are not a good price. They are likely to tell you that the items are "Casi Gratis" or "Almost Free" but that is to get you to stop at their stalls. If you are interested in the items they are selling, be sure to know how much you...more
Bargaining with the Vendors!!!
1. Put different bills in different pockets and know exactly how much money you have in each of those pockets. This will come in handy at the final step of the process.2. When your looking at the different items, take your time and refuse help until you decide exactly what items you want. Don't worry about establishing how much its worth, the...more
Ruinas Chichén-Itzá What to Pack
Want to take a dip in the cenote?
There are no lockers at the cenote so if you have no companion to whom you could leave your personal stuff, be sure to have a waterproof bag. You can only leave it at a corner where everyone passes by so be sure not to bring along any valuables. After a day at Chich, you can go to the Ik Kil cenote nearby (about 5 mins. away) to cool off. Then...more
Sun Lotion and Sneakers
The Yucatan gets pretty hot in the spring/summer, so wear light clothing-- shorts, tank tops or t-shirts. We saw people in jeans who seemed miserably hot. Also, wear sneakers or other comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking. Sun lotion is a must. Don't just lotion before you go-- bring some to reapply. Bring plenty of water and...more
Must Haves!!!
a backpack to put all your things light clothing, thick soled shoes or sandals, a hat, UMBRELLA - really helpful to block the sun's instense heat (dont worry - should you feel silly using one, a lot of people do it and those who didnt bring one wish they did) towel to wipe off sweat camera and lots of film, digital cameras even better lots of...more

Model of traditional Maya House
Walking from the Great Plaza to the Central Group you will see the model of the traditional Maya House or a building that scientists consider to look like a traditional Maya House.The Maya people constitute a diverse range of the Native American people of southern Mexico and northern Central America. The overarching term "Maya" is a collective...more
Ik Kil Cenote
After a sweltering hot day at Chichen Itza We needed to cool off. On the way back to Playa Del Carmen we stoped of at Ik Kil Cenote. Its very close to Chichen Itza. This place is beautiful. Their are lookout points at different levels as you go down the steps so you can stop and take photos from different angles. The water is very deep and quite...more
Go for a swim with the dead!
If the heat and or the living get to you, why not cool off with a dip in a Mayan burial pool! Who knows who you may meet down there! By the way the path that leads here is lined with a bunch of annoying vendors so feel free to invite a few of them to join their ancestors!more

Erich von Däniken's "Maya Astronauts"
If you are older than 55 you must remember "Chariots of the Gods" by Erich von Däniken. When in 1970 I saw the West German documentary film "Chariots of the Gods" (in Russian "Memories of the Future") that was based on Erich von Däniken's 1968 best seller, "Chariots of the Gods", I learnt for the first time about Chichen Itza and a relief of "Maya...more

Traveling around the world, I always miss my dogs that are waiting for me at home. So I am glad of any opportunity to talk with local animals. In Chichen Itza my interlocutors were iguanas and birds.I especially liked the iguanas.

Stewardship Trips
Georgia Conservancy's Top 10 Trips of the year. Scroll down for registration and full schedule.
Since 1967, the Georgia Conservancy has been guiding trips across the state that showcase Georgia's imperiled natural resources and provide the public with the opportunity to advocate for their protection. We use our network of partners and peers to provide access to barrier islands, river systems and nature preserves normally inaccessible or off-limits to the public.
From Cloudland Canyon to Cumberland Island – we hike, paddle and conserve this state!
What started out as a half-dozen trips per year for a handful of Conservancy members has grown into a program that can serve hundreds of people each weekend, many from communities historically excluded from outdoor recreation opportunities. We believe that no matter who you are, or where you're from, getting outdoors in Georgia will make your life better! Everyone is welcome at the Georgia Conservancy!
Our expanded 2015 schedule offers Service Weekends, "Georgia Bucket List Trips" and Heartland Rivers of Georgia Series paddles in every corner of the state.
Our hand-picked Top 10 Trips of 2015 are available for registration now! The rest of our Stewardship Trips will roll out in seasonal releases across the year. Fear of missing out on a great time? Become a Georgia Conservancy supporter to receive notification of trip releases and Conservancy updates!
Thank you to REI for their leadership and support of the Georgia Conservancy's Stewardship Trips Program! Thank you to the many volunteers and partners who make our trips program possible, especially the Georgia Canoeing Association, SweetWater Brewing Company, Sweet Grass Dairy, Keeping it Wild, Whitewater Express, Three Rivers Outdoors, SouthEast Adventure Outfitters, Georgia State Parks and the many excellent Riverkeepers across the state of Georgia!

Us Weekly -- Heidi Klum and her future ex-husband Seal are trying to make it work -- from a distance, that is.
Last week, things got ugly for the former couple, who announced their split in January and filed divorce papers in April. Seal, 49, commented on Klum's supposedly romantic relationship with her longtime bodyguard, Martin Kristen -- quipping to TMZ that Klum lacked "class" and sniped that the supermodel should "at least wait until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help."
PHOTOS: Heidi Klum's life as a single mom
Klum, 39, retorted via a statement from her rep: "It is sad that Seal has to resort to this kind of behavior and spread these untruths about the mother of his children." The "Kiss from a Rose" singer then clarified that "he was not implying his wife was cheating while they were together, but he was merely pointing out that their separation and divorce were not final and they are still legally married."

And while the one-time power couple aren't warring in the aftermath of the scandal, things aren't picture-perfect, either.
"I don't know if we're the greatest friends right now, especially because of the things that he said," Klum admitted to Katie Couric in a pre-taped interview for her show, Katie, this week. "I just saw him on, on Sunday. We were talking and we're in an okay place."
Married for seven years before announcing their split, the pair share four kids: Leni, 8, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2.
"It's a work in progress. You have to take it one day at a time," Klum told Couric of dealing with her ex after the scandal. "It's hard especially when you are in the public eye too. People are always looking at you closely and at everything you do. And they also don't always see exactly how it really is."
She added: "I haven't felt like correcting every rumor that is out there. I'm focusing on moving forward."
In a Sept. 3 statement, the "Project Runway" hostess told Us: "I cherish all of the great memories Seal and I created together over the years. Our separation was based on issues between the two of us."

This year (1997) there are two anniversary related to Galileo Ferraris. In fact, this Italian scientist, professor in Turin, was born in 1847 and died in 1897. He studied optics, acoustics and several fields of electrotechnics, but the most important discovery was the Rotating Magnetic Field that he applied for the first induction motor (with 4 poles) in 1885. Nowadays this kind of motors are the most used electric engines.
The induction motors use three-phase currents, that are generated by three tensions with a phase displaced of 120 degrees. These currents, feeding opportunely three static windings, produce a rotating magnetic field similar to the one created by a rotating magnet: the electromagnetic induction law states that a sinusoidal variation of the current in a coil generates a sinusoidal variation in the linkage and the three linkages, conveniently superimposed, cause the total magnetic field to rotate as you can see in the applet above.
Red, green and blue arrow are the displaced linkages, while the white arrow is the rotating magnetic field.

Robert Longo interview: "The shows represent what we thought we could be versus what we are right now"
The artist offers competing visions of America in two gallery shows

Robert Longo in his Manhattan studio. March 22, 2014
An original member of the Pictures Generation, Robert Longo is mounting one of his most ambitious undertakings in years, with concurrent exhibitions in Chelsea at Metro Pictures and Petzel Gallery. "Strike the Sun" at Petzel will present a sculpture of Old Glory, plus American-themed works including a massive rendering of the U.S. Capitol. Meanwhile, huge drawings of Abstract Expressionist paintings will be on view in "Gang of Cosmos" at Metro Pictures. Time Out sat down with the artist at his studio to discuss his latest efforts, and what they might say about our country.
How did the exhibitions come about? Why did you pair these sets of images?
My drawing Capitol was in a show at the Aldrich museum in Connecticut, and I wanted to exhibit it here with Friedrich Petzel, who is my Berlin dealer. He suggested that I also present my new drawings of Abstract Expressionist paintings at Metro Pictures. The shows, I think, represent what we thought we could be versus what we are right now.
You've re-created some of the most famous paintings from Abstract Expressionism as drawings, using a level of detail that certainly seems exacting. How did you manage it?
Each painting required its own strategy for creating it. It was like waging war on several different fronts.
How so?
There was a lot of reading involved, conversations with various curators and art historians, and museum visits. Word got out as to what I was doing among the art handlers at different institutions, so as I went from the Whitney to the Guggenheim, more and more paintings were being pulled out of storage. I was like a kid in a candy store.
Did you take photographs of the work?
Yeah. We had to obtain permission from the estate of each artist to do that, but once we did, we had hi-res photos we could grid out to create a map of the canvas and the brushstrokes.
Why translate these images into black and white?
Because it makes everything seem that much more abstract. Also, as a kid, I didn't read, I just looked at picture magazines like Life. And that's how I first saw the work of the AbEx guys, as black and white images in a magazine.
Why use charcoal as your medium?
I like the fragility of it. It's just dust, and carbon is one of the primary elements of life. I also love the fact that charcoal can imitate the graininess of photography, as well as the velvety nature of painting.
How did you pick which paintings to draw?
It was highly subjective. Basically, I went with artists I really like, and chose paintings with an iconic quality.
Can you give an example of where your subjectivity came into play?
The Clyfford Still I used was at the Albright-Knox in Buffalo when I was a student there. So, that museum was an incredibly important place for me; plus, the scale of the painting is enveloping.
How important is that sort of scale to you, both in general and in terms of the way you approached the work of Still and the others?
Well, I'm an American, so big is good! And aside from cinema and big cars, those guys got to me. There's a commitment involved to making something big and a commitment to owning it. But with these pictures, I actually changed the scale based on the size of paper of I was using. My Pollock, for example, is smaller than the original, while my Rothko is bigger
What prevents these works from simply being copies?
Again, it's the subjective aspect of the translation process. The most important thing for me is that they're not art about art, but art from art.
You mentioned seeing these paintings up close and personal. What was it like encountering them in that way?
It was like a mix of archeology and forensics. Viewing these works in real life made it possible to figure out how they were made.
Just how closely did you replicate them?
I didn't want them to be photorealistic, but I did use some trompe l'oeil techniques to make the brushstrokes seem more alive. I wanted to locate the works somewhere in this weird zone between photography and drawing, where they could become themselves.
And also somewhere between abstraction and representation?
Well, I'm making representational images out of abstract paintings, so yeah.
Did any of the artists have a particular emotional appeal to you?
Pollock was an interesting case because I thought his work represented an artist who was fucked up and drunk. But I found out that his best paintings—the drip paintings—were made during a three-year period when he was sober. That struck a chord with me as someone who's been sober for about 20 years now.
Getting back to the pairing of the shows, are you drawing a line between global power and art-historical preeminence?
There's a little of that. While doing the research, I discovered things that I didn't know, like the fact that the CIA had sponsored an exhibition of Abstract Expressionism that toured Europe. They were using the work to symbolize American might, and it's role as the hope of mankind.
One of the pieces at Petzel is a sculpture in the form of an American flag sinking like a ship. Where did that come from?
When Congress is in session, they fly the flag over the U.S. Captiol, so the sculpture relates to my drawing, Capitol.
You've also titled it Pequod, after Ahab's ship in Moby Dick. What is the relevance of the book for that piece?
Well, not just for that piece. The original movie with Gregory Peck was part of my life growing up. So was JFK's death, which I also refer to in a drawing of a horse with an empty saddle, the one that led Kennedy's funeral procession. So it's like the flag is the Pequod and the Capitol is the whale; the saddle is Queequeg's coffin. The Abstract Expressionists become the crew. Harold Rosenberg once said that the Action painters were like Ishmael going on a journey. But the icing on the cake was when I discovered that Pollock owned a dog he named Ahab.
Of course, the Pequod finally went down. Are you saying the same for the rest of us?
We have the same hubris that Ahab had. The idea that America has to be No. 1, the best, is what's destroying us.
What do you think this show says about you at this point in your life and career?
To be successful as an artist you have to be driven, have talent and have a good work ethic. But you also have to be lucky. I think as an artist, the hardest thing about getting older is remaining relevant. That's the real challenge, and I think what I'm trying to do with this show is stay relevant.
"Strike the Sun" opens at Petzel Gallery and "Gang of Cosmos" opens at Metro Pictures, both on Apr 10.

This symbol, which is now well-known all over the world, is thus one of the oldest trademarks in the world. Today's name - ZWILLING J.A.

One year, four fights for Urijah Faber
At age 34, Urijah Faber is just days away from his fourth UFC fight of 2013. Not many fighters his age and with his pedigree stay that active, whether they are healthy or not.
The last time Faber fought four times in the same calendar year was 2007. He went 4-0 that year, all WEC featherweight title defenses, including a win over Dominick Cruz.
Six years later, Michael McDonald stands in the way of what would be another 4-0 year for Faber -- and a possible title shot against the winner of Cruz and Renan Barao at UFC 169 on Super Bowl Weekend in Newark.
Embedded below is a video interview with Urijah Faber from UFC's Ultimate Insider leading into UFC on Fox 9 this Saturday in his hometown of Sacramento, Calif.

But the learning comes easy for these bright eighth graders.
Ms. Novello: "Oh my goodness we're getting smarter!"
They sure are ... thanks to this whiz with numbers.
Manuel Figueroa, 8th Grader: "She makes it fun. She always tries to make it exciting."
Monica Jimbo, 8th Grader: "I'm very bad at math, but this year I'm getting good. Thanks to her."
Ms. Novello: "I've got a thing for numbers. They click."
And her students click with her.
Manuel Figueroa: "She's been my teacher for two years and there were times when I needed her and she was always there when I needed her."
Ms. Novello: "School starts at 8, but I'm here at 6:45. I open my classroom up and we sit and chat."
Monica Jimbo: "She always comes happy with a smile on her face. It makes us feel happy."
Ms. Novello: "It's not just teaching the math. It's teaching the confidence, self esteem and all the things kids need role models for."
That includes being a teacher who stands up for her students. Last year Ms. Novello helped start an anti-bullying campaign at Marshall.
Ms. Novello: "They need to feel safe. They need to come to an environment where they know they are safe and secure. The kids know they can come to me and I will look out for their best interests."
Jennifer Solis, 8th Grader: "I think she's awesome."
Val Warner: "Ms. Novello, congratulations on being WGN's Teacher of the Month!"
In recognition of Ms. Novello's achievements, Thurgood Marshall Middle School received a $1,700 scholarship to Sylvan Learning Centers.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press
