So you apparently didn't grow up in AC. We lived briefly on Bartram Ave in 1950, not far from Teresa Place. I remember falling into a rose bush near the beach and Doctor Sweeney stitching me up (still have faint scar), giving me my first chocolate covered cherries. Downbeach, near Ventnor was bleak, at least compared to the rest of the town.Forti Radicihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901846069399270000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-9420588854692219572020-02-02T22:42:12.562-05:002020-02-02T22:42:12.562-05:00Robert, just to let you know I was moved by your m...Robert, just to let you know I was moved by your memories of your father, read on my phone, lost but found your blog here. Sad that he couldn't enjoy being a father when his kids were kids. My old man was either drunk or dry (which was worse). I grew up in the Inlet and was in Chelsea, failing out of ACHS when you were born. I started leaving AC at 17 and was on the road (still am) by 1966. I see you like Caravaggio. His 'Calling of St Matthew' at the Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi is my crisis point of reference.<br />I became a dad at 52 and still play soccer, ski, chess, fight with my 20 year old son. Many, many mistakes but raising Martin is not on the list. RISD, huh? I went to PCA on Broad St for a month or two.

I remember seeing the footage live and seeing what seemed like specks falling from the building and finally wondering 'are those people?' Up to that point in history, news coverage was very sensitive about showing deaths in progress without some sort of warning. That is indeed what it was but I don't believe the networks were aware at that moment what was actually being shown.<br /><br />Here's a reference I incorporated in my work years later . . . the image is so indelible!<br />https://vimeo.com/97660301 <br /><br />For me, it's an image that speaks of disbelief and incomprehension - a paralysis/suspension of being and belief.<br /><br />That same image has inspired quite a few artists . . . check this out:<br />https://www.lukejerram.com/falling-man/ <br /><br />Robert, thanks for sharing your work!<br />Vonda Yarberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14845761724118132688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-41593161382704654022017-02-25T05:42:57.255-05:002017-02-25T05:42:57.255-05:00Thanks Steve—great to get this feedback.

You looked familiar to me, and after a couple of clicks found myself at this blog. Wonderful illos and a worthy project to break down The Inferno. I especially like your Minos and Farinata degli Uberti, and did not know that Dante practically invented intertemporality.<br /><br />Simple, good.

In your mouth and not on someone's silver platter on a dinner date. Haha! Kidding aside, I'm sure your dentist did a fine job with your crown. I know you'll miss your chipped fang, but it really had to go. At least you can now smile a bit more openly. Thanks for sharing that story, by the way. It both was interesting and funny! Take care! :)<br /><br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/115633134504314818214/about" rel="nofollow">Justene Doan @ A+ Family Dentistry</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421259236671365097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-78214606442595306522014-05-06T14:04:31.484-04:002014-05-06T14:04:31.484-04:00Thanks!Thanks!Robert Brinkerhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083568482543682031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-44866286742670666652014-04-04T10:37:46.463-04:002014-04-04T10:37:46.463-04:00Now that's a trip to the dentist that can riva...Now that's a trip to the dentist that can rival war stories. Have you bothered visiting other dentists? Aside from feeling horrible about your tooth, do you have other problems, such as chewing? Most crowns are temporary. If yours was one, you can find a dentist that can fix you up with a permanent one.<br /><a href="http://dentistkelowna.livejournal.com/3225.html" rel="nofollow">Stephen Malfair @ DentistKelowna.ca</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370009827110852727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-91747730928873241162014-01-24T02:46:49.735-05:002014-01-24T02:46:49.735-05:00your poster is great.

I especially LOVE the alliterations: "lethal little cream puffs and candy colored cakes concealing malignant motives."<br />I take a reverse approach to sweets. I put candy on my residents' doors and make them smile. I bring food to studio and help friends stay awake, or at least gain some motivation. I make cake and offer it to people in the dorms who are still working in the middle of the night and hopefully offer them some brief solace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922653031537633434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-4910731676635213182013-04-18T12:19:36.402-04:002013-04-18T12:19:36.402-04:00Dear Mr. Brinkerhoff,

I'm 28 now (I was a senior in high school in 2001). I may be a little past the kids of which you speak, but I feel like I'm in that crew. Yes, today's youth are consumed by the good vs evil escapist themes that you mentioned. But I don't see this as a bad thing. It's the simplest way to try to understand the overwhelming complexities of a world where good and evil are NOT as clearly defined as we would like them to be. We escape into stories that parallel our own world's themes but give the good guy power to overcome the bad guys in ways we dream were true. But I've seen this escapism in action, and all the joy it has brought people. I've been surrounded by college kids dressed as characters from Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or Star Wars of The Hunger Games, discussing how much they LOVE something---books, movies, etc. The popularity of Comic Con or PaxEast and things like them are proof that the mainstreaming of nerd culture is replacing apathy with passion. Super nerd passion for stories or games that take us ELSEWHERE. <br /><br />When I think of "editorial" illustration, I think of imagery that artfully and usually abstractly depicts complex ideas--many times resulting in a murky, somewhat depressing tone. (An unfairly sweeping generalization of course, but there you have it.) It doesn't surprise me in the least that kids aren't queueing up to create these types of images. They require deep, critical thinking, and self-expression that doesn't offer clear right or wrongs. The trend may be towards art that has a right way to do it, and a wrong way to do it. Editorial illustration doesn't have such clearly defined parameters for evaluation. But with character design, you either succeed in portraying the character you intended or you didn't. Once you learn a few rules and strategies of character design it's easy to implement them and create a "successful" piece. <br /><br />Editorial illustration may never be the popular choice for people so overwhelmed by the world they live in that they'd rather imagine a different version of it altogether than attempt to understand it as it is. <br /><br />While my own art may not prove to be anything especially worthwhile in the grand scheme of humanity, doing it makes me happy. And I like to think that if enough people make art that makes them happy, perhaps it will rub off in other ways as well...happy people, happy world?<br /><br />And if not...it can't possibly make things any worse, can it?<br />Courtney Autumn Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742991732046145339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-74789564512327507822013-04-12T20:49:40.708-04:002013-04-12T20:49:40.708-04:00Thanks.Thanks.Robert Brinkerhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083568482543682031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185311238171173849.post-14600375197488901652013-04-10T22:14:48.785-04:002013-04-10T22:14:48.785-04:00Fantastic analysis, boss.
