King test sketches... OH! I forgot– I haven't yet made manifest the plan. Well, the plan is a Cabinet Card Portrait-inspired deck of cards. Yep. So it begins...
Kingly tests…

Sketch for a new project
I've been working on a new idea for a project that will (with some perseverance) culminate in a deck of playing cards. Won't say anything more at this time, but here is an initial conceptual sketch. Many more to do, to get at it properly, get the right feel and scale of things. Stay tuned… Continue reading Sketch for a new project
Red in the sun
Prince and Red. His mane is exceedingly long, quite proper for an Arabian (though his face looks mostly Thoroughbred, despite his having only 25% of that breed in his Anglo-Arab genealogy.) Some photos of Red from my trip Upstate to the Farm. He's getting up there– 28 years of age; still the master of the… Continue reading Red in the sun
Polyester plate litho, round two
a caravel at sea and a very small house Yesterday was lo-fi lithography session two (read about out first session here). This time we came at it with drawings more suited to the medium– fewer tonal areas to get blocked up by ink. I'd read that thinning this type of ink is generally necessary to… Continue reading Polyester plate litho, round two

Polyester Plate lithography

The last few supplies arrived Wednesday afternoon, so Kim and I embarked on some… Continue reading Polyester Plate lithography
The genius of Gorillaz
Two talents: a musician and a visualist– embark on a collaboration that is both timely and topical, the fusion of whose efforts proves a perfect melange, exporting products (for lack of a better word) that feel tailor-made for the times. I've been on board since the first record (having already been a fan of both… Continue reading The genius of Gorillaz
The Sketchbook Project
I picked up my sketchbook from Mailboxes on Fifth today- for this. Beginning to think about what I'll do with it.
reading, 2.
Finished: The Ne'er-Do-Well last evening. Finished A Voyage to Pagany just now (begun two months ago at least, and set down inadvertently for some time). lso watched US v England- a draw! Little else today.
Summer Reading
I've put down the Caesar commentaries for the time being, as I've found myself in the middle of too many books and feeling a need to finish some. I recently picked up a book at an antiques shop in Lewes, DE, that I began out of curiosity and it's interesting enough I want to finish… Continue reading Summer Reading
