Long Island City Day

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

castle and kirk

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).

inspiring imagery

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

Hand Drawn Map Association

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.

flooded window well

Dark and rain. I awoke to find a puddle had formed on the window ledge during the night; another day of gloom in this wettest of Springtimes! A couple of things had to be thrown away. I've been listening to Harry & the Potters– laugh, but they're actually quite good. Fun listening, some of it… Continue reading flooded window well

A world in progress: macro

That is to say: I can't resist putting up some more teases. An archipelago off the coast of the Kingdom of March (mechanical pencil; cold pressed paper) A cartouche in progress... (mechanical pencil; cold pressed paper) A compass rose comprising multiple locational systems: (digital; hot-pressed recycled paper) 90º meridians for points of the compass; 30º… Continue reading A world in progress: macro

remiss at updates

It's just because I've been so busy with work, and nothing else much to write about. I realize I have also been remiss about Emily's Flat Stanley. Again, haven't had a chance ot take him out in Brooklyn! (Although I did bring him to DC...) Another map from a dream: Excerpt: There was a wedding… Continue reading remiss at updates

Vercingetorix wept.

If the kernel were (not a colonel) a general, the general is Caesar (swift, sudden and devastating attacks!), my poor iMac is Vercingetorix (doomed!), and his luck has run out– Today it's crossed a threshold and it's utterly unusable– even with nothing running save iTunes, it experienced the panic. I'm waiting to hear from the… Continue reading Vercingetorix wept.

“Berlin & the nature of Abstracts”

Finally, a drawing! [It's been since 03/12. This one was done on 04/17. Too long in between]

of lapses and misleading evidence

lacunar eyes and not a hair out of place Despite all visual evidence to the contrary, today has dawned decidedly the coldest of the week– much to my dismay, as I'm longing to open windows again. Already life grows busier. March is one-third through and lists grow longer, which is a good thing, but it… Continue reading of lapses and misleading evidence
