FIrst up in the art department, here are a few new nature portraits, thanks to the tropical South Beach Miami flora. They are all three silhouettes for a dramatic modern effect, and available on TurningArt and Saatchi Art in multiple formats.

Next is a throwback to 2018, a series of fifty original 18”x24” charcoal drawings called “Gnosis” that I’m looking to touch up and possibly embellish to show while I’m here in Miami Beach. The point in using a word that means divine knowledge is to highlight a personal spiritual journey and the philosophical content. This would make a great installation presentation, so we’ll see what happens. These drawings are also for sale, as an entire book as it’s meant to be presented, or individually. Please inquire on the contact page or with s.ikerd@gmail.com.

Out now on OCTAVES Music is the second movement of the electro acoustic ‘tech opera,’ the Aria Of The Cosmos, available on Apple Music and more. The next upcoming movement is “Dialogue Of The Stars.”
FInally, out on 12.22 is the very much classical release, Bach’s Prelude BWV 998 for classical guitar. Stay tuned as the label continues the exploration of genres, styles and moods.
