Birth of a Newsletter - R30 Issue #1
I was doing Chess Puzzles while listening to France Musique, and after a while a show started that was dedicated to variations on Pete Seeger’s Where Have All the Flowers Gone. Read more in this week’s edition of the R30 newsletter.
ODY
A play I wrote around the end of 2022. It’s a take on the Odysseus saga, featuring the heroes and their deeds in a modern setting. It’s written in verse, kinda. An important step to Bravour.
Interview with D. Holody about AI
My first Youtube interview. Talked with Devin Holody about ’the pitfalls and opportunities of Art & Artificial Intelligence’. Too long. Not edited. The next talk will get cut down to ten minutes.
Temple Mount Cat
Cat on the Olive Mount in Jerusalem. I guess I called it ‘Temple Mount Cat’ because it sounds cooler. But actually this kitty was crawling up an olive tree on top of the other Mount. Nice scene. Afternoon light. Serene.
Die Steine liegen schlafen
This is based off a photograph I took in Jerusalem in 2014. People holding a funeral service at the graveyard near the Olive Mount. The text is some poem I wrote on the fly. When I painted it. See below for translation.
Weinberg
Vineyard in Lower Austria, where I lived at the time. Nice, serene. Not too unhappy with this one. Figured a wine-maker could use it for promotional material. You still can! Just contact me.

Digital painting showing a korean empress super-imposed over a street in Seoul. Was it an empress? Don’t remember, I couldn’t use the picture of a K-Pop idol, which is what I originally wanted to do. First time experimenting with text. The face kinda looks like mine.
