Luminous Earth

Those of you who are regular visitors know I have been slowly overhauling the pages here at The School of the Transfer of Energy.  If you are new, know you know too.  There are still some pages to rebuild, but for the latest, please take a few moments to visit the new Painting page.  This has been perhaps the most personally interesting page to remake.  Seeing so many of my paintings re ordered and in a fresh context has been revealing.  Below are a few samples.  I hope you enjoy them,  and thank you for visiting.  -Jack

The Puppet Pages

I have completed and installed four different pages about puppetry for The School of the Transfer of Energy.  The main page is under the work heading, hover over it and there are three additional pages, including drawings, and the script for The Two Deaths of John Beartrist Laceroot.  I hope you enjoy them, and thank you for visiting.

New Pages

The first batch new pages are up.  They are a new Printmaking page and a page called the Legend of Walking Man.  You can find them under the title “Work” from the main menu above.  The Walking Man page, I expect to be adding more information about Walking Man over time, so if you like that fellow please check back every once and a while.  In celebration of the new pages, todays image is pulling from both, to wit, a print of Walking Man.
