ink

elementary, Watson!

making the monoprints has a photographic immediacy...   Click.  it's done.  there have been times when the atmospheric conditions have been quite conducive to making them... it's like one after another, pop right out of the cookie cutter. these I think are from the extremely wet june of 09.

this post has languished in draft file for some weeks now... I guess the images are such distillations it's kind of sad to write much about them.  (some people can't stand vanilla?)

and this is from the extremely wet may of 2009... (something good came of it)

some dark chocolate here...  with nuts in it.  this needs something of a rhumba beat.

this next one is kind of old.  almost 4 years after the disaster...

this wasn't too clear to me for a while after I did it.  and then for a long time everything looked like it was referring to that.  along the same lines I found myself w/a pencil starting on one side and drawing a mouth... I rarely use a pencil except to make marks for masking... this started with the jaw and sort of drew itself, not sure I can remember what i thought I was drawing at the time.  had no real sense of purpose... it's kind of typical of Homer... I guess I needed to draw about it.
