I've been tracking calendar-map hours along with freelance project hours, and just did a quick tally– since my return Monday night, I've clocked in 20.5 hours of cartography. Last night I did some drawings to take a break from it for awhile. (they all have prominent chins...)
Here are a few snaps from my trip to visit Kelley in Baltimore– a smattering flavor of the oddness and utter silliness that tends to pervade our visits; laughing til it hurts. Concocting plans like the founding of The Institute of Fun (for Higher Learning)*. Or, upon seeing a hideous and depressing structure (eg The… Continue reading A Baltimore weekend
a tease, again– bit o' the map for calendar 2010. Remind me to tell you about it the day of wandering and feeling 'away' in Long Island City– map scanned, pub lunch, PS1 and the pool installation... Also– I will post photos from the Rochester trip soon as well as some from the Delaware Water… Continue reading Long Island City Day
Drawings from last night (world's first flying buttress sneaked its way into that medieval castle.) Today I take the map to Long Island City to be scanned! * kirk being church in Scottish– or, if you're in Amsterdam– de Oude Kerk (specifically old).
Just for the record. Quite nice. [later : 6 pm] The light is changing. The shadows are long on the buildings across the street already.
(A woman in my dreams, that is. It probably has to do with the death of Teddy.) There was this most eccentric family next door. Well, the perspective kept shifting; I was ostensibly watching a movie, only each time I watched it, things happened from a different perspective, based upon where I was– because I… Continue reading She reminded me of the Edies*
The top two images were things found via Google image whilst searching for the Two Knights upon One Horse Masonic Seal (in addition to finding several examples of the seal in question, not represented here at all, in fact). The drawing of the knight falling off the horse is fantastic, and I wish I'd noted… Continue reading inspiring imagery
I had a rickety old pianoforte with no lid (which I painted gold, as my apartment walls were an off shade of turquoise). I had also an elephant, which I subsequently lost (as a character might lose a prop to poor continuity after an edit in a film). There I stood, in the same little… Continue reading In my dreams this morning…
I sent them my Block Island maps; they are numbers 152 and 153. It's a wonderful site I came upon during research for the calendar-map.
Here is a detail of a three-shilling note (facsimile); one of several found in the "Interpretive Center" building of the Minisink Battleground on the banks of the Delaware River, near Narrowsburg, NY. We were up that way over the weekend to visit Ben's family for the weekend, and a bunch of us hiked up the… Continue reading Three Shillings. To counterfeit is Death
