doug duffey painting in new orleans


these should probably have been posted in foto-mondo. this is a shot of me painting in my "studio room" in my house @ 4000 dumaine, new orleans, in the early 90s.

i'm not sure what happened to this huge painting i was working on [over 6 feet long] in this foto. i was doing a whole voodoo and totem series... not only as art but as a security system. i'd prop them up in the long hallway [that ran the length of my house] to deter anyone from breaking in. i also hung voodoo dolls in the windows, had a cow skull on a table by the window, and left the classical music station playing all the time. too scary for the thugs.

detail from one of my totem paintings [circa 1991]; these were done on boards- using white and black enamel paint.

st. francis

found this little "saint francis" head on the street [carrolton] in new orleans, walking back from buying groceries. i've had it for years.
i did a series of webcam shots... using a cheap webcam [one of those 'eye' looking things] i'd set up, i shot vignettes with the it. i'd use various things that were laying around: in this one is an old rusted iron, and old papers, fake flowers, the saint head, etc. this is one from the series of many! cant decide if it should be categorized as a foto or not... if so... it's in the wrong blog

that insect spirit

a small scanned version of a big collage done in NYC in the mid to late 90s. i'd just come back from Brussels, where i'd had 'carpel tunnel' surgery on my hand and was staying with my friend mary in brooklyn heights. i was getting antsy, from doing nothing, so began chopping up her magazines when she was at work to make collages [even though i was NOT supposed to be using my hand!]. this is one from the NYC series/book.

don't get too high

a small collage done in Holland in 1993- from one of my small portable collage books. i've actually scanned these small collages at very hi resolution, thinking i would do enormous prints, poster sized. i still might do it.
