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.

The following is an early description of Walking Man as it appears in the play The Two Deaths of John Beartrist Laceroot:
Walking Man does quite a good bit of doing things, but often
is found plainly walking; in circles or in unjoined lines.
Also with regularity, in simple curves as well as complex
compounded curves accompanied with series of strait lines.
Less frequently, but often enough to be mentioned, he walks
in lines forming letters that sometimes are random and do
not spell out any sort of thing, but at other times they
make up words or sentences.
Walking Man is found often to have walked from one geographic-
al location to another geographical location extremely far removed from the
first, kicking the leaves underneath the trees.
For the ‑ uhmm… individual, the imagination is much more endued
with the powerful swaying grip of reality than that of the
actual objective reality. That is to say that, umm…ahh, to some people,
the life experienced within the imagination is just as real, if not more real,
than the life experienced outside the imagination…
if…the…ahh…two can be separated at all. In this consideration,
Walking Man is John Beartrist Laceroot.

Mikey, here is the photo of Moses which you requested. I did my best, for it is a tricky painting to photograph.
