el tumulto del mundo

this is a monoprint from '07?  or early '08... not sure but I felt like I got something when this came up.  for the longest time I wanted it to be something it wasn't... something more abstract than it really is.  something more formal.  it's actually personal and very sentimental.

this is from the end of '09.  unlike the one above it, there's brush work on the paper, not just printing.  I dreamt the house I was living in was having work done on the foundation and a storm was coming up and the thing was rocking on it's supports.  so when I big gust came along and pushed the whole thing over it really wasn't that big of a surprise.  there was no one around and I was going to crawl in it to get my things and then I remembered that there was a body wrapped in mummy cloth in the closet (in the dream,right?).  what a drag if the authorities were to discover that...

the basinets.   there was an explosion on 6th ave. this morning on the other side of the block. some kind of fuel leak sent a fireball up the side of the building and it caught fire.  no one was hurt as of the last report.

been wanting to post this one but it got buried on my desktop, this photo of the print.

this one too, I think it's from the same morning in dec maybe?

these are revisions or between the revisions.  that whole process went more smooth this time around not even thinking about the months in a panic.  january is dated and filed.  the sumi part of it.  did some new ones this morning.  first I've done since the weekend.  with the panels they've gotten second billing

I found something I've been deliberately ignoring and it's seriously more of a problem than I ever could have imagined.  on the inside mind you.  to complicated really to go into here but it boils down to carrying a torch for someone I forgot even existed,

can't get to the shore this week.  just too busy really.
