Kodak Instamatic X-15 Camera
16" x 24" oil on canvas ••• I transfer my commentary from the emails I send out to my subscribers to these blog posts. These blog posts are usually far behind the emails. Once you fall behind, it just keeps snowballing. • Anyway, I am so far behind that the commentary that went with this painting is too far out of date to post here on the blog. • The best way to keep current with my latest work is to subscribe to my emails at http://madmimi.com/signups/111163/join . The emails go out about once a week, but you cannot hold me to it. Sometimes I am doing other things like painting. I am a typical artist: I would rather paint than post. Please take the time to subscribe to my emails. • You may also follow me on FaceBook ( www.facebook.com/raymondlogan.artist ) or on Instagram ( www.instagram.com/raymond_logan_artist or @raymond_logan_artist ). But, as it is with this blog, so too it is with FaceBook and Instagram, I post to my email subscribers first.

Kodak Teague Box Camera
34" x 26" oil on canvas ••• Here is another piece from my show currently hanging at the Brittany Davis Gallery. ••• This camera is a special one for me. It took me several years to find one in good condition and at a reasonable price (yes, I am cheap—it is called being an artist). • It is so special that I ordered a custom canvas for it with the idea of using it to expand my box camera array. By adding this piece, the display extends out another row, about 14 inches, making the overall array over nine feet wide (see picture below). ••• If pressed on the issue—and make no mistake, it is an issue—I would guesstimate that I have over 80 box cameras in the studio alone. I do not dare go into The Logan Manse and count what may have migrated into there. Like I said, it is an "issue," and no, I am not seeking therapy for said "issue."

Dad's Drill - Revisited
46"x46" oil on canvas ••• As with any profession, being an artist has it obligatory deeds. Things like studio visits and writing an artist statement being just a couple of examples. (Artist statements are dreadful, torturous things to read and write with most sounding like they were written by inebriated Great Danes chasing their own tails. And yes, due to certain... youthful experiences, I know what a drunk Great Dane looks like. What you really do not want to encounter is a pickled basset hound. Especially when you have to give it a ride home. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever get that smell out of your car.) ••• Oh crud, I went off topic and find myself without a remotely adequate segue. ••• NEW START: A studio visit is when a gallery or museum director/curator visits an artist's studio to talk direction or to pick pieces for an upcoming show. They are necessary, but for someone who does not normally have people visit his studio (family bearing cookies excluded), they can take a little getting used to and—I have learned—can produce unpredictable results. ••• Before I go on, I must state that I have been extremely lucky in that my curators have all been great. ••• When Brittany Davis came over to pick work for my current show, she picked some pieces I did not expect her to pick. Two of them being a bit older than her other selections. They are very important pieces to me personally and any chance to show my work in public is great, so I am extremely happy that she chose to include them. Both are seminal pieces marking my successful transition to producing larger pieces. They are so important to me that I wanted to revisit one in this email, hence the huge drill you see above and below. It is titled "Dad's Drill" because it was my late father's drill, the one I used my entire childhood, hence it is doubly special to me. ••• I hope you enjoy the revisit and, if possible, can visit my show at Brittany Davis Gallery to see the piece in person.
