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.

New Pages

The first batch new pages are up.  They are a new Printmaking page and a page called the Legend of Walking Man.  You can find them under the title “Work” from the main menu above.  The Walking Man page, I expect to be adding more information about Walking Man over time, so if you like that fellow please check back every once and a while.  In celebration of the new pages, todays image is pulling from both, to wit, a print of Walking Man.
