The Spooky World of Chris Ringler
Welcome to my strange world of Blogs, Books, Movie Reviews, Podcasts, Stories, and Art!
This is gonna be a sort of lazy catch all of stuff I have done recently. It is weird to me how much I am painting of late. I think it's due to a feeling that I lack time to really write, which isn't untrue, sorta. But I have been painting a lot. And obviously… Continue reading Stuff I do
I figured it was more appropriate to give MCS its own post as, these pics don't really fit in with the rest of what I posted, picture wise. They tell their own story. I had wanted to see MCS myself for years, after a friend told me about it and sent me a picture from… Continue reading Michigan Central Station
Sunday was another beautiful day and this time we headed to Detroit to see an art show a friend was in and had put together. It just so happened that Sunday was the big St. Patrick's Day celebration in what is known in Detroit as Cork Town, due to its close proximity to the old… Continue reading Tales of Ruin, Tales of Hope – 2
This past Saturday was one of the first significantly nice days of 2009 and presented a perfect opportunity to get out and take advantage of my camera so, with my lovely girlfriend in tow, we went around downtown Flint and took some pictures near the riverfront. It is strange how much history is here, in… Continue reading Tales of Ruin, Tales of Hope – 1
Here are some random pictures I have taken recently, such as the process of one of my recent paintings, and another couple pics of the bloody knives. It's stuff, dig?
I did a couple paintings over the weekend, and these are them. It is funny 'cause I had ideas for both and neither turned out how I had thought. Hecks, I had to re-do part of Mr. Mouth, but such is the joy of painting. The random pic is one I took for fun. 'Cause… Continue reading New paintings and tools of the trade
Some pictures I took with the new camera. I cannot wait to get outside with the thing but, for now, am resigned to creating messes indoors. these are the stories that no one knows c
So I got a new camera with my gubment money/tax return money. I love, love, love the thing but haven't had a lot of time to use it, not to mention that the weather the mitten has been having makes it hard to want to do much of anything. So, I give to you, nerdy… Continue reading Hardcore Nerdity
Just some funky photography I did around where I live and one of the bookstores where I work. Winter doesn't inspire me as much as the other months for photography so I wanted to shoot some stuff.
For some weird reason I am drawn to doors. Especially old doors. It started, I suppose, when I started a story cycle I haven't shared a whole lot and which I am in the middle of writing. The stories deal with keys which people find that open certain doors. The doorways lead to different places,… Continue reading Doors to Dreams, Dreams to Nightmares
Having fun with a frame I found at work. The days are turning cold, and so are the thoughts. Can you smell the burning leaves too?
These are just some random photos I have taken recently. Not great, high art, but fun stuff that I edited down to focus on the images. I am still learning, with each photo I take, but the stories are there, waiting to be captured. I just have to learn to capture them in the best… Continue reading The world through a prism
Dreams of doors and nightmares of windows and in between is you.
