Address: Stadtplatz 1, 94234 Viechtach, Germany I am showing the following works: The promotion of the book PIGMALION 2017 and the opening of the exhibition will take place on Tuesday 13.2. 2018. At 19:00 PM at the NLB BANK GALLERY The exhibition continues until March 20th 2018 I feel very privileged that I was chosen to participate in this project PIGMALION, organized by Gorazd Čuk annually for over 25 years. My artwork presented is EROS THANATOS II Besides the large catalog of PIGMALION 2017, there were also individual Monographs of the participating artists produced.
I had often said that in my days at the University of Lethbridge, I rarely took notes. I did not see any use of it at that time, since based on the course outlines, I studied the subject in advance, and came to class already prepared to add my own 2 cents worth in comments - even prepared to argue......... But just for looks, I did have my notepad open. I may have written down a few things, but for the most part, I was doodling. Checking through a pile of old papers, I found this - probably from a English or a Mythology class I took, around 1980 or so (we had some advanced classes where several departments were involved - they were called 'Colloquial Studies'). In case you are wondering about the writing on top: it's my own version of shorthand. I have not used it in decades, and frankly, I cannot even read it myself anymore! You may think (as many of my fellow students did) that I am just a goof - but the end results were that I graduated with a GPA of 3.96 out of 4.0, second highest in my class of 82. I initially posted the note pad images on Steemit
I just joined a new social network, called STEEM. The sign-up process was rather complicated - it took 2 days to get in. If it wasn't for a couple of artist friends that had also recently joined, I may have given up. Lets see how it works out. Eventually I made it, and for some reason I can't explain (unless I did something wrong in the process) I was assigned the pseudonym "thermoplastic". Anyway, this is what the top of the landing page looks like: check it out and see what's up: https://steemit.com/@thermoplasticIf it works out, I will be contributing on Steem and sharing on my other networks, such as Google+ and Facebook.

I finished the work and had it professionally scanned. The detail image below links to the new page with the 'improved' images, as well as links to available prints and a cool zoom image ▼
