Bizarre Horizons Magazine is alive and well, just a bit dormant

March 19, 2012

I’ve succumbed to the pressure. The imaginary Bizarre Horizons Magazine is now a reality.

First Issue of Bizarre Horizons 2012 … Cover Image Photo, Alexis and Mum 1984

I have a plethora of material and images that have been frothing at the bit to be published in Bizarre Horizons.  Unfortunately, I have switched from PC to Mac and I need to fire up the all-but-dead-PC to retrieve the images.  I’ll start working on it, but your patience is required.  Please feel free to let me know you have material to submit for publication if you feel it is appropriate.  Comment on the post and I will be in touch with you. Brenda Demings’s photos of the ballet dancing in the Produce Section of the supermarket is already in queue for publication. It may take a while to find the files and get them onto my Mac.  This took twenty-seven years to become a reality so a few months won’t really matter.

The organic shapes of the figure are forever changing as a body moves through space catching and reflecting light as it transforms through the shadows of its environment. Even at rest, the figure inspires variations of form and color as it moves slowly with each inhalation of breath. I am driven by my attempt to capture the energy of movement in pencil and paint. Watercolor allows me to explore unknown territory from which I extract the suggestion of one or more figures interacting with the surrounding space. Oil paints challenge my ability to stay focused on a moment of action prolonged over a long period of execution. Pencil and ink are simply a delight, dancing across the paper as swiftly as the figure before me moves to the rhythm of the music that fills the air. Though my work is diverse, ranging from detailed landscapes to totally abstract fields of color and juxtapositions of lines and shapes, I return to the figure to regain my sense of balance and to renew my spirit.
