Looping Illustrations
by Drew Tyndell
Nashville-based artist and illustrator Drew Tyndell creates these looping animations which he paints frame by frame in Photoshop. He was first inspired by a Stan Brakhage piece he encountered at an animation exhibition at the Frist Museum in Nashville.
After creating a 64-frame animation of a cube by hand-painting each slide, he then decided to go digital, exploring forms and shapes found in some of his own geometric paintings on wood. To see more of his animation work check out his Loopsgallery.
Dizzy?
My friend and artist, Mitzi Winks commented, "Thank you, Jacki, for your blog on former President Jimmy Carter. From 1990- to 1995, when I was an International Partner with Habitat for Humanity, I was the Volunteer Coordinator for the 20/20,000 Blitz Build in Sumter County Georgia. President Carter was one of the volunteer carpenters and even Jane Fonda worked with Jimmy. (She got up on the roof). I also attended one of his Sunday school classes in Plains, Georgia, with Secret Service in the room. The media enjoyed portraying Jimmy as an "aw shucks, Peanut Farmer," but, he commanded our first nuclear submarine The Nautilus and actually had a mind like a steel trap. He ran that Sunday school class like a CEO. If interrupted he could return to his message without missing a beat. Further, while he was in the White House he always invited heads of state to his evening devotionals. Anwar Sadat of Egypt attended and became a believer, so that a peace settlement agreement was finally negotiated between Egypt and Syria. Forgot to mention he eradicated the Guinea Worm on his watch---a deadly killer. We've lost an elder statesman and they don't make them like that anymore. I did NOT vote for him, but I was certainly impressed by his sterling qualities."

I so enjoy your blog Jacki. I love the collage at the beginning of this post!
What a good and kind person Jimmy Carter was. We, all of the world, not only America lost a great man.
The advise in your last smile could be from him. Be kind!
Jacki, I understand you are tired. Maybe it is the cold and dark month that tells us to rest to be fit when spring will come. Today I also felt so tired not able to do what I wished to do. But that's the privilege of being retired, we needn't do anything.
Have a good start into the next week. I hope you'll feel stronger soon.
