And here are the last two collages in my BTS series:
Actor Jin is staring into the small screen and the small screen is staring back.
V is creating his own sky full of stars.

BTS and Their Non-Hiatus.
I am working on a new collage series to document what the beautiful boys of BTS are doing on their recently-announced
Jimin is dancing at the edge of the world.
RM is feeling the rain again.
Jungkook is singing with some new friends.
J-Hope is exploring some darker corners.
BTW, you can tell Suga and Jimin (and maybe Jungkook, if he wants) that I am willing to serve as their American Grandmother, if they need one. The rest of you lot, I love you, but you'll have to get your own American Grandmother. Sorry.

Exhibition News
I have books vacationing on both coasts right now:
The 11th Annual Members' Exhibition of Puget Sound Book Artists has been installed in the lovely Collins Library of University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA and will be available for in-person viewing June 6 - August 5, 2022. I have two books in the exhibit: The Age of Reason, a 2020 book reflecting my pessimistic view of America as revealed during the Covid pandemic...
...and GHOSTS AND SHADOWS, an album of altered photographs, which begins with text from an imaginary novel: "All memories are fiction, Martin; all photographs are lies."
Meanwhile, out on the East Coast, the Rochester Public Library in Rochester, NY, is getting ready to open its annual Art of the Book & Paper Exhibit, which will be on view from June 27 - November 1, 2022. They have a wonderful selection of books and paper sculpture, and I'm proud that three of my books have been accepted into this exhibit:
A Little Bird Told Me
Roundup: The Class of 1929

Mare Boreum
Recently-completed collage piece called Mare Boreum, (Northern Sea), which refers to an area near the north pole of Mars, a region that appears as darkness when viewed telescopically from Earth.

Hopes and prayers...BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Here we are again, America. Another school massacre. And once again the only "civilized" country in which this regularly happens throws up its hands in despair and offers hopes and prayers to the little victims and their grieving families. Enough with the hopes and prayers, America, enough with the public hand-wringing, could we finally do something?
Go ask Mitch McConnell why he cares more about preserving the filibuster rules and catering to the gun lobby than the lives of school kids.
Go ask Texas Governor Greg Abbott why he cares more about enacting "the strongest Second Amendment legislation in Texas history" than the lives of 19 fourth graders.
Go ask Republican lawmakers why they are more worried about catering to pro-gun interests than passing common-sense measures like background check requirements, assault weapon bans, and restrictions on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Go ask responsible gun owners why they put up with this crap.
Go ask the US Supreme Court why they are poised to strike down a New York law that limits the carrying of guns outside the home.
Go ask America why this epidemic of gun violence doesn't happen in any other country on earth, why since the tragic Sandy Hook massacre almost ten years ago American has MORE guns and FEWER protections, and why, despite all these dead children, we don't seem to care enough to do something about it.
