Of Past and Future Prints

Plenty of two-dimensional work today:  First, some hand-colored prints of Jacob Wrestling the Angel of God.  A few of these are available if they strike you.  Next, are some studies for a large, 18″ x 12″, lino-cut of Obed Edom.  Finally, a few more prints and drawings.

Finally and thankfully, I was engaged by the keen and mysterious richness of this astonishing poem , from Tom Hirons yesterday.  As a rule, I generally do not to link to other work here, so Sometimes a Wild God represents an exception.

Out on a Limb

I am stepping out on a limb.  This time it is about the song.  I have no realistic aims at professional musicianship.  I tend towards the traditions where music was a social or intimate art form practiced by amateurs who spent more time in the dirt than the conservatory.   That maybe a justification for a poorer quality than what is available, so be it,  but it seems important to share a little more than just fragments.  The song is called Good Father.

The drawings are for Rima,  Thank you for the honor.

The Puppet Pages

I have completed and installed four different pages about puppetry for The School of the Transfer of Energy.  The main page is under the work heading, hover over it and there are three additional pages, including drawings, and the script for The Two Deaths of John Beartrist Laceroot.  I hope you enjoy them, and thank you for visiting.
