ISQ
magazines
I have a lot of ideas percolating, as most artists do, many of which I have dabbled with to see how they might translate as finished artworks—and some have become finished artworks, like my most recent multiple-exposure photographic artworks. Other creative interests have been fun to explore but weren’t enough to be a stylistic or contextual series. The magazine format became an affordable way to share the creativity flowing through my studio.
Image Sketches Quarterly, or ISQ. magazine thematically present my “Idea Sketches.“
The first three magazine issues were introduced in the last quarter of 2022. The first two issues are “Revisits.” of two of my favorite photographic themes: flora and church spaces. The third is a photographic study of beauty but from a different perspective.
The following four issues for 2023 will feature favorites from my Halftone Lockdown Series of multiple-exposure photographs. Halftone Lockdown v.I is available now at Blurb.com, with quarterly releases of v.II, v.III, and v.IV to come throughout 2023. More about each issue will be listed below as they are released.

ISQ: Halftone Lockdown Volume I
“A unique visual of confabulated memory’, ~ Bo Stanly
A 60-page picture magazine in which I explore memory as visual engrams (a unit of cognitive information imprinted in the brain [theorized to be how memories are stored] and that are rewritten and possibly changed over time each time we revisit that memory).
Who are we in this world but for our memories and the ideas that hold together our identity and from which we perceive and ascribe meaning to data we acquire in proximity and by association? The effect of family and friends with memory-depleting diseases has led me to wonder about and explore this topic through a body of work developed during the 2020 social restrictions and shutdowns. Volume one starts with the early images from this series/study.
