At the H&H Lounge, 717 Hope St, historic Shreveport, Willie Hall was jamming on congas and chanting with the music.

The towel turban atop his head is a mystery. All of a sudden, there was a turban.

Stefan was between numbers on a Texas St outdoor performance when I caught sight of his rakish hat and glasses and marvelous performerly attitude.

Cool, sir.

The ear / fractura: a mandala for the summer

Spontaneous yet influenced by Mark Burt's world of diverse beings, I wanted this to be a fractal-like structure. But organic rather mechanic.

Everything seemed to slip into place.

Going to paste up a 3'X3' enlargement of it at the Beauty Supply Gallery - formerly called En Pleine Air Gallery - on the corner of Kings and Youree.
