Pencil-piercings — the critics vs. the artist?

Ken Shaddock and J R Compton trade artly critical remarks about sculpture by Kelly Garrett Rathbone showing through August 11 at Hal Samples on Main Street. Rathbone asked Ken to review her show her show at Hal Samples through mid-August. She liked his Elbow of Art story here, and together we emailed together a review incorporating a lot of pictures, so you can decide for yourself, also.

See our words, read her sculpture on Witness to an Apparition.

Benzene Counter

The left number continues to count visits here since 1:11 pm Weddy May 25 2005. The number in the middle, from WebHost, our most recent and perhaps best host yet, now includes the 121,617 hits to this page when we hosted with Earthlink, before we moved to DreamHost, as well as all of the hits we got there and the couple thousand since we joined WestHost.

Our web hosts have been, in order, Earthlink, DreamHost and WestHost, whom I hope we can stay with more longer than the four years we were with the Dreamers.

The two outside counters started off even. Since then, they've grown farther and farther away from each other.

TMI about counters.

If you want to show someone one of our pages, send them the web address (URL), because we update some pages often and have not yet learned to update previously printed pages. Our Time Travel Module will be down for next couple of centuries, I'm afraid.
