Whether created by the hand of God or Man, the cycle of creation and destruction is all around and within us. All the world is art. You are art. For this issue, we want you to make art and share it with us. We want to see your creation, read your thoughts on the process, hear your tales of working on your opus, see artwork and photography you pined over, and feel that feeling you had when you spontaneously formed a masterpiece, the delirium that was creation.

Johnson’s Ranch Presentation at the Cinnabar Theatre January 28th 7:30PM   
Through the focal point of the only documented aircraft crash at the ranch in 1932, the slide presentation will focus on the unique personal, cultural, and military aviation histories associated with a truly storied place, now but a remote marker and campsite on the River Road in the National Park. A forgotten photograph of a curious metal assembly found walking the area 17 years ago, leads to a search and rediscovery of the part, and the subsequent tying of it to the specific aircraft and crash. The story of the pilot, who later went on to be a German POW and a Brigadier General in the Air Force, helps illuminate a fascinating tale of survival, perseverance, innovation, and satisfaction in a pivotal era of the Lower Big Bend. A cool tale. BYOB with donations to Last Minute Low Budget Productions; Questions - Todd Bureau (432) 386-7846

Earth & Fire Gallery guest artist for January is MFA Jadene Mayla.  
Inspired by the awesome scale and rugged topography of Big Bend National Park, which was recognized by National Geographic as one of its “Best of the World” for 2023 among the 25 Most Extraordinary Places and Communities - see NatGeo.com/BestOfTheWorld - her newest series of manipulated photographs highlights distinctive features this region of far west Texas is known for.
Her goal with this and others in the series is to suggest that the viewer look through different eyes to see the landscape from the perspective of a natural mystic (like her).  The medium and style choice came out of the way that manipulating photography often highlights or brings to the surface atmospheric details and shadows that otherwise tend to take a back seat to the main subjects. In her direct experience of phenomenological events she would describe as 'mystical' if not 'paranormal,' she often perceives the life of a place in the atmosphere created by that force which animates it.

Big Bend Series by Jadene Mayla

Inspired by the awesome scale and rugged topography of Big Bend National Park, which was recognized by National Geographic as one of its “Best of the World” for 2023 among the 25 Most Extraordinary Places and Communities (see NatGeo.com/BestOfTheWorld) these manipulated giclee photographic prints express the way I see the park.  My goal with this and others in the series is to suggest that the viewer look through different eyes to see the natural landscape from the perspective of a natural mystic (like me).

               The medium and style choice came out of the way that manipulating photography often highlights or brings to the surface atmospheric details and shadows that otherwise tend to take a back seat to the main subjects.  In my direct experience of phenomenological events I would describe as 'mystical' if not 'paranormal,’ I often perceive the life of a place in the atmosphere created by that force which animates it.

Corba's Last Chorus ‑‑ All Friends, Family and Fans of Corba Jones are invited to "Corba's Last Chorus - A Celebration of a Life Lived Loudly.”  Our family greatly appreciates your prayers, patience and the love you had for the “Lil' General.” We are trying to make plans at the speed at which Dad/Gregg is comfortable, while also giving us to focus on his care and affairs, as well as allowing ourselves to start the grieving process from this life-changing loss.

               We also acknowledge how this has affected so many of you.  Our family also extends our condolences for the loss you have also endured.  It is an emotional time for all.  

               After getting to spend time with all her children together, Corbie was ready to be pain-free and with the Lord.  Corbie will be greatly missed.  Rest assuredly, she went to heaven knowing she was loved by you all and had left one helluva legacy . . . thousands of memories and repeat-worthy stories of a loud woman who lived loudly and loved the loudest.

               Whereas we do not yet know all the details of the celebration event, we do know this . . . It will be filled with love, laughter and loud music.
