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...)
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).
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 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.
stags, lion, lobster and rook I haven't put an entry here in awhile, and I wanted to put some sort of visual, so here are a few thin *slivers* of some bits and bobs I've been working on since last I wrote. In other news: mostly been working– on projects for clients and on 2010… Continue reading The swampy days of August have come early
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
For the few: a sneak peek at the work in progress. This is merely a tiny sketch (about business card size, folded) for the sake of layout, mind– (Who knows what the end result will look like?) There is much to design and draw! Time for such undertakings still a few weeks off– But rest… Continue reading electro.calendarmap.twenty.ten.
In which we visit the farm of an eccentric family and wish to stay– or at least return. Click on the image to see the larger map. It's another long dream... The connection was through Joe– the place belonged to the family of one of his classmates, but Jon, Flip and I were there as… Continue reading dream of eccentrics
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
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.
