ECLIPSE
Note: This took a long time to come out
or...!!!!
when does a division become a divide ?
Did you ever wonder what it is like when a teacher is surpassed by a student ? Probably not
SAM CLAYBERGER
was my teacher, friend, mentor
Did I surpass Sam? No
Technology did When does a division become a divide?
As in the internet divide
When computers and the internet hit I managed to pick up social media and photo shop
Sam did not This led to tension between us Some how I surpassed him
When I last visited him in 2015 I shot some pictures of 25 + pieces of his art
When I returned to my place I ran them thru photo shop and put mats around them
At the time I was in luv with the "posturize"
filter in photo shop Out of curiosity I applied it to one of his pieces I liked the result and did three or four of them Then filed them away and for got about them
In one of my last conversations with him he said he had digitalized all of his paintings I told him he should digitalize all of his work then put them on at least a half dozen "thumb" drives then distribute them Put some in a safe box Give some to his daughter, maybe give one to me He asked why I said for safe keeping He didn't answer
Sam passed As a tribute I posted the pictures I took in 2015 Without thinking about it I included some of the pieces I had posturized
I got an email from his daughter asking me to take down the pieces I had altered
Why would she have even noticed unless Sam had clued her what to look for My question is.....what was Sam afraid of? What did he think I was going to do with them?
I took them down No problem
Then I joined a Face Book group called L.A. Artist Then & Now
As a tribute to Sam I posted this piece
Apparently, Lori his daughter also was on the same site
When she saw it the shit hit the fan
For the record The piece posted was NOT digitally altered

Many times I invited him to my place He never showed
Promised me when he got a settlement he was gonna buy some of my art
