Peter Stevenson is a fine artist and illustrator. He has lived and worked in various markets, including Washington D.C., center city Philadelphia, northern New Jersey and New York City, where he is a member of the prestigious Society of Illustrators. His illustrations have been featured in many magazines and publications, including The Washington Post, The Washington Book Review, and The Wall Street Journal, and his work has been commissioned by clients that include AT&T Communications, Crayola, Earle Palmer Brown, Citibank, and J. Walter Thompson. Stevenson simultaneously spent decades in advertising as first an Art Director and then Creative Director for leading agencies and corporations, such as AT&T, Aramark Corp, Marra Advertising and Stiegler, Wells & Brunswick. Eventually founding The Stevenson Group, he served as principal and executive creative director, establishing a robust roster of regional, national and global clients, and winning Gold ADDY Awards, Gold Art Directors Club of Philadelphia awards, and the Business Marketing Awards, both nationally and internationally. Now residing in Lancaster, Pa, not far from his childhood roots in Chester County, his latest gallery exhibition Biospheres II focuses on the place where land and sky meet, and rural life happens. The simultaneous contrast of two juxtaposed colors, depicting earth and sky, offers a simple abstract scene that is set for a meeting point. It’s at this intersection—the horizon line, where the buzzing, humming flurry of life and human emotion can be felt, sensed and imagined. http://www.PeterStevensonArt.com https://www.peterstevensonart.com/blog

Ever wondered what the music of the spheres would sound like? Hubble brings us cosmic sights, but these astronomical marvels can be experienced with other senses as well. Through data sonification, the same digital data that gets translated into images is transformed into sound. Elements of the image, like brightness and position, are assigned pitches and volumes. Each translation below begins on the left side of the image and moves to the right. No sound can travel in space, but sonifications provide a new way of experiencing and conceptualizing data. Sonifications allow the audience, including blind and visually impaired communities, to “listen” to astronomical images and explore their data. Below are sonifications recently published by NASA: Here is the sonification of Hoag's Object: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Xo3HajfkrKQ Sonification of the Bubble Nebula: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buCP1UtT9I0 The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 1300’s arms hold blue clusters of young stars, pink clouds of star formation, and dark lanes of dust sonification: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyf1UDm-GyU Data Sonification: Black Hole at the Center of Galaxy M87: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVleUUmU44E Sounds from Around the Milky Way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N9RnmwIWbA Cat's Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) Sonification: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfFoUWm3NDA Sit back and enjoy!

A kiss is its own purpose. Joining of lips is merely, The external, physical manifestation. When two lovers place their lips together, Join mouths most intimately, Bodies not merely touching, Caressing, inch to inch, Soul to soul, All mixed and mingling, The kiss is all there is. - Donovan Baldwin

Yes, I'm in no I accept, I'm in denial, head over heels, madly in love with living each day in the dark The bite of truth is so much harder then the occasional sudden bark It's easier this way It hurts less, makes the truth seem so much less important; until it's not Denial feels safe but never truly real, and now the bite I can finally feel; the ripping of flesh bit by bit with subtle nips of truth Dark was good, but grey ... this frightens me I have too many questions that I'm too scared to find answers to, too many clues that leaves me asking, What do I do? So yes, I'm living in no; let fate question the answers ... ~ Priya 🕉️ Feb 20 Artwork from Pinterest "Denial is a way to handle what we cannot handle" ~ from hell to well, by Facebook

Photography Surrealism is alive and well and getting better all the time in “Heji Shin: The Big Nudes,” a wonderful show at 52 Walker, through Oct. 7, that’s not just about its subjects—brain scans, a pig (a detail of “Reclining Nude,” from 2023, pictured here)—but about photography itself. Working from a palette that includes Irving Penn grays and calling to mind body-scan photography by artists like Kurt Hoerbst, Shin shows and tells what makes a sensibility. The forty-seven-year-old German balances the often self-serious “art” photography of the past fifty years or so (the exhibition’s title refers to the late Helmut Newton’s large-format series of big nude women) with an outstanding sense of humor that takes the piss out of the concept of the nude. Are pigs naked? Are they showing us their emotions? And are emotions a landscape that a brain scan can convey? These are among the many questions raised by the very distinctive artist.—Hilton Als(https://link.newyorker.com/click/32476487.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)

I am founder, president and CEO of ArtsKeeper Inc, the social media platform for anyone who loves the Arts, for all artists, writers, musicians, photographers and performers, as well as enthusiasts and patrons. ArtsKeeper is the only social media site that focuses on the needs of all artists and artisans; whatever their art or craft, whatever their stage in life. Why did i found ArtsKeeper? - To make it easier for people to make a living as a creative, as an artist. Previously, I was founder, president and CEO of XBI Software Inc. In that role, I was a past chair of XBRL Canada and member of the SBR (standard business reporting) Forum. I was an editor of the first Canadian GAAP PFS taxonomy, and of the International XBRL Global Ledger Taxonomy. I am an SBR and XBRL evangelist and consultant, and I have served on many XBRL working groups. Before that, I was founder, president and CEO of Dr Tax Software Inc, a premier supplier of tax software to Canadian accountants and tax professionals, and of Dr Tax -UFile.ca Inc, the first company to create a Web-based tax preparation program in Canada. Under my vision and leadership, the Dr Tax team developed Dr Tax Software from an idea to the second-largest company in its market segment. We actualized the dream of easy, quick web-based tax preparation and led the UFile team to build the first and best Web-based tax application in Canada. The Dr Tax group has been sold to Thomson Reuters. Perhaps most important, i am a poet and aspiring novelist and would love to hear from everyone at ArtsKeeper

Why can't I touch you? Why can't I see you? Even words were taken from me, When I was sent away Condemned to empty streets, Looking through The windows of strangers, In hopes of seeing you... Here and there a word A whisper on the air, That perhaps you Remembered me, Left messages for me, Perhaps, to much to dare, Sought me also? Did you not know, That face and words, And smiling heart, Torn from me, Did to me? A look, A word, A smile, All I ask.

Sunset, Moonrise I stood barefoot in the sand where solitude and peace collided between the shore and a fading horizon I was mesmerized by the light of the last sunset of the year It was as if the sun was gently floating through the waves to say goodbye I stood still at the edge of the world and I could see my breath slowly evaporate into the air As the sun set her eyes down, I waited for the one magnificent blink, when the first moon of the year would rise high above the clouds It was in that very moment, the moon light glistened upon the waves; as if to bid farewell to yesteryear ... ~ ©️ Priya Patel, Jan 2, 24 🕉 Breathtaking photography of Sunset 2023 and Moonrise 2024 by Prashant Verma Photography

Eight ball side pocket. I called it, The Bear nodded, Slight smirk, Impossible shot. But... I knew the way the table rolled. Enough English on the cue ball To make the eight hug the rail Until it hit the little soft spot In front of the pocket, and, Forward momentum dying, Hesitated a moment and Dropped in... Stare of disbelief from The Bear, His Mosconi cue in hand. Got to know the table. True story. • Donovan Baldwin
