Overpass in rain Catharsis. A charcoal drawing, 18"x24". Haven't used the medium in over a decade; forgotten how blackened the hands get. My eraser is indistinguishable from the bits of charcoal now as well, save by its shape.

here it is.
The Table Buncha' stuff; two type cabinet drawers; 5.5 gallons of resin. Voila! Just add pedestal base (conveniently found on a curb in Park Slope a few years back). A table to vindicate years of insane pack-rat behavior.
Cartography of Time.
time, quantified. This afternoon I have been largely absorbed in the interpretation of three weeks' worth of collected data into a visual key. It represents [my] time, (which can be a slippery thing when one works as a freelancer), and how it is spent. The goal of this exercise was to find where the largest… Continue reading Cartography of Time.
Oh!
Yes, oh! The FINAL LAYER OF RESIN (have I jinxed again?) has been poured, not two hours ago. By 5:00 Friday a full 72 hours shall have passed, and the table will (at long last) be USABLE. With luck, that is. I have sealed it over with a thin coat of the alternate resin coating… Continue reading Oh!
rusticity, urbanity.
The Rustic City A series of new photographs taken, printed (and in some cases altered subtley) by e. daggar are now on display at Bonnie's Grill. They have been appropriately rustically (though expertly) framed by The Mad Framer, and are available for purchase. The show will be up through sometime in May, so go and… Continue reading rusticity, urbanity.
Ides and such
But more to the point, the calendar has already passed the first week mark in this the third month of 2006. Madness! Soon a whole quarter of the year will have gone the way of the snow from the blizzard. Time is relative, to be sure. As are most things. My recent start at keeping… Continue reading Ides and such
They’re alive!!
snowmen! Prospect Park Well, my camera and I did make it to the park briefly yesternoon, and had I not worn sunglasses I'd have been blinded. So sunny and bright. However, not a single square meter of snow remained un-trounced-upon! Shards of sleds lay about, of both store-bought and improvised varieties. I imagine it must… Continue reading They’re alive!!
second month begins
I neither watched nor listened to the man commonly referred to as the President last night. Can't bear it. (I suppose I ought to at least read about it somewhere. Perhaps in the Onion...) The resinating of the Table has grown epic and tiresome, taking entirely too much material and time. It wouldn't be so… Continue reading second month begins

Happy New Year. the farm in winter Spent Thanksgiving and Xmas upstate at the farm. Sunny and freezing in November, as illustrated in the photo. December was milder. The New Year, as it begins here in Brooklyn, is drenched with rain and blanketed with fog. Sort of weather makes the knees ache and inspires reading… Continue reading 2 0 0 6
knickknactionary!
soon to be a table That's what it looks like, pre-resin. A frame shall be built to hold the two type drawers together, and to be the high-water mark to which the resin will rise and self-level. It's going to weigh a lot! But finally a purpose for 15 years' worth of collecting such nonsense.… Continue reading knickknactionary!
