Quaker pop

Most of the pop I do these days is for the Quakers. In fact I will show it to you. Go to the Cloud Quakers site, click on photos, and there you have it, my production for the last month or so. It's kind of my role in Quakerdom. I'm the Andy Warhol of Quakerism.

For a while I took just any old picture, and made it into pop. It was fun, because there are so many pictures out there. Some people asked me if they could have them, though, and I didn't know what to say. Finally I said no, I can use these pictures, since I'm not making money off of them, and since I've doctored them, but I can't give them away, because they aren't mine. Now I do pop only (or almost only) on my own photos. And I keep them coming.

The problem is, I'm locked down, and the lockdown isn't going away. In fact we are feeling more trapped. For a while we let our kids run around town, relating to other kids, doing their thing, but they have no concept. To them, the idea of a mask or social distancing is kind of a joke, imposed on them by grownups with their twisted fears. But anyway here I am, I have a phone, I take pictures of the country, and the road into town, and I make pop out of them.

Not that I expect anyone to notice.

Now my pop art site, which I tell you about a lot, is rolling right along. I put stuff on it whenever I can. Lately I was flirting with another demonstration exhibit, as you can see, but I backed off. There wasn't enough of it. Going back to the Quakers, you can see I've drifted there too.

So, in pop, I have several problems. One, I have to keep cranking out Quaker pop, but don't quite know what to do (I would like to keep them original too). Two, I don't really like the "skin" of my pop blog; it's not displaying up to my standards. And, it has the only link there is to this one, but it's hidden. So it keeps people away from stuff I say about pop.

The only reason I mention it is, I'm looking hard at my blogs these days. Might do some blog marketing.
