As I previously stated while I was working on Bird on a Wire a whole series of paintings came to me. This series is a result of my recent immersion into social media. I am a noob (a neophyte) to things like FaceBook and Twitter, but I hope to get better. I even took a class for FaceBook, just before they completely redid the layout. ARGH!
I am still looking for FaceBook fan page tips. My RSS feed is double posting and since they redid the layout I can’t find where the RSS Feed link is at on the fan page anymore.
Anyway, when I posted TweetDeck, one of my commentators said that Retweet came to mind. Of course I was already working on it as it was such an obvious follow-on. And now it is done-enjoy.

Retweet by Jake Beckman. An orange canary sings to four other yellow ones who seem to be listening. The binary in the background reads "Retweet."
Its a little abstract in concept, but also kind of literal too. The ASCII binary reads “Retweet” from Left to Right, and Top to bottom. In this version I explicitly included a spiral as a place for my canaries to perch. I opted to fill the entire background with binary so the upper most bird would have something to stand on, otherwise it would have been hanging upside down like an orangutan.
What do you think?
