Pumpkin Harvest
Artist Benjamin Wu was born in China in 1961 and now lives in San Francisco.
It’s still very warm here but no longer feels like I’m entering a blast furnace/sauna when I step outside so I guess the SE #Texas #autumn is finally here. In the spirit of the season we went out shopping for our #Halloween #pumpkin yesterday.

"Puppets are infinite. If you know love, they do. If you know sadness, they do. If you breathe, they do. You give them steps and they make them strange. They are sometimes silly, sometimes serious, always honest little vessels.”

Black Cat Season
Australian artist Vanessa Stockard paints whimsical portrayals of her muse cats - Kevin, a ball of fut, who is often featured in tributes to famous works of art - and Satan, a black persian almost always seen ruling over an elegant old chair …
“I’ve always had a thing for cats. I love and hate them for different reasons and I find them endlessly entertaining. I grew up with a black Manx cat who was, shall we say, ‘pretty scratchy’ and, well, I guess she stuck with me. She lived a long life and I loved her regardless … Obviously, the mangey black Persian I dubbed ‘Satan’ started a journey several years ago, and eventually, I saw an old sock in the studio and thought… That’s a kitten! It wasn’t. But that wasn’t important. That’s a kitten and its name is Kevin. Logical.”
Theda Bara, ‘The Vamp’
The studios created a fictitious persona for Bara as a woman born in the Sahara ‘in the shadow of the Sphinx’ to an Italian Sculptor father and a French mother. They created an heir of mystery claiming she dabbled in the occult. Her contract requite that she wear a veil in public and only come out at night. They even mentioned the fact that her name was an anagram for ‘Arab Death’
Bara made more than 40 films in her career, but most were lost in the 1937 Fox vault fire and only 6 of her completed films remain.
