Googles Happy Birthday to Keith Haring .. celebrate a life

Lets celebrate a life.


Googles Happy Birthday to Keith Haring .. celebrate a life, originally uploaded by GAC'63.

When I got to work this morning and turned on my computer and this is what a I saw.

First I was sad, Keith died from AIDS in 1990, a wonderful creative artist lost to a horrible disease. But then I began to go thru the links that Google has for Keith, a saw the whimsy, the intelligence, the sexuality & the fun in Kieth's work. I remembered why I have always found him a inspiring artist. A creative fixture on the culture and freedom of his generation.

If you have a chance go thru the collection of his work at www.haring.com or if you can get to the Brooklyn Museum they have a exhibition of his work on right now.



Enjoy. Live. Have a great day. and Smile.

I don't know how you feel when a artist or artists pass away.. for me its a loss of my youth, a loss of memory's, a loss of a creativeness. I know people are supposed to die. I know that for some they will be remembered for a long time because of the impact on our culture. It's just a shame to say goodbye. R.I.P. Levon Helm, Dick Clark, Greg Ham, Bert Weedon

Beaver Lodge at Hidden Lake

I took 7 teenagers for a walk to the hidden lake on McLaren island. Little did I know that it would take a hour to get there, one hour at the lake rowing them around, and 3 hours lost in the bush trying to get home.

Dallas Rapids, the mouth of the French River, Georgian Bay, Ontario

My Great Grandfather Knight, and great great Grand Father Logan, stood at these rapids and fished over a hundred years ago.

With this map you can see what the mouths of the French look like. This is all glacier carved rock. We started by boat at Key River, entered the Georgian Bay at Key Harbour and and arrived at the lower Pickerel River 50 minutes later. True Georgian Bay wilderness.

I live on a park in what used to be North York. It's very beautiful and quite, but I just live south of a very busy and dangerous area called the Jane Finch corridor.

This is what I got to wake up to this morning.

Okay, sitting here in the office while it seems most of the world is getting ready for Christmas Eve.

Have a very Merry Christmas .. I hope everyone gets what they want and what they didn't know they wanted tomorrow morning.
