Pretty much the full drawing: 30 x 44″and ink on paper, as usual. The drawings this size really do not translate well into jpeg format.

    Looking at this drawing does make me want to see it up close and personal for sure… I’m eager to hear more about the diseases you are addressing as well… such rich subtext…

    Catherine, it actually looks quite lovely online; not as wonderful as the original drawing but I think it translated better than you thought. Thank you for another wonderful workshop. Joan

    Thanks Joan!

    The title of your next show should be “Victims and Vectors”.

    ah, the bulging quivering cheeks…always in motion..the dead doll-like eyes, black as an adder’s gall……the hairy lip hiding the dull yellow-brown razor-sharp incisors…and those tiny hands…disturbingly unhuman, but still able to do you up a treat…and those really cute ears. Throw him a peanut…wait, I forgot the peanuts…quick! run for your life!

    STOP THAT!! STOP EVERYTHING!! THERE WILL BE NO SINGING ‘ERE!! BLYME, I”LL ‘AVE UR ‘EAD MATE>>> (all that should be read in the color “blue”)

    scuse me…. Did someone say “NNI”?

  7. Alina, on March 13th, 2008 at 11:26 am Said:

    The ears are ridiculously cute!

  8. Mark Lynch, on March 13th, 2008 at 1:23 pm Said:

    National Nanotechnology Initiative?

    (even smaller hands and ears, I mean really minute.. Lilliputian…”wee” even)

  9. Catherine, on March 13th, 2008 at 1:56 pm Said:

    ok – what’s NNI?

    AND: should I draw in the vignetting – cause it looks really cool – but is it too literal/historical? If anyone wishes to, please opine (scuirine) away…

  10. Alina, on March 13th, 2008 at 4:23 pm Said:

    hmmm… to vignette or not to vignette…
    I’d say that your photograph that vignetted the drawing is another series you could include in a show… have your drawings on one wall as part of a show and maybe include a photography series of the drawings with the vignetteing and framed like daguerreotypes on another wall? Just suggestions of course…

    ambiguity is next to godliness.

  12. Mark Lynch, on March 13th, 2008 at 4:58 pm Said:

    Always use a vinegrette sparingly.

  13. Jed, on March 13th, 2008 at 5:29 pm Said:

    What she/he said.
    smaller drawings—new series—mostly portraits—some landscapes—can become gimicky

  14. Catherine, on March 13th, 2008 at 5:49 pm Said:

    I hate gimmicky… but love my vinaigrette…

  15. Mark Lynch, on March 13th, 2008 at 6:47 pm Said:

    Holy Short Attention Span Theatre, DNA is the eptimome, the mascot even, of gimmicky. How can you hate DNA? Now gimcrackery, that’s another story.

    Ah, Banarama!

  16. Alina, on March 13th, 2008 at 8:55 pm Said:

    Come to think of it… after looking up daguerreotypes on google image, I can see how that wouldn’t really work for your comtemporary approach… I got carried away with the vintage image of it in my mind… maybe a little to retro.

  17. Catherine, on March 14th, 2008 at 1:33 pm Said:

    Bananarama? Do expound. I’m trying to avoid Google for one day. Which is near impossible, considering I like it better than Bim Jeam.

  18. Mark Lynch, on March 14th, 2008 at 9:11 pm Said:

    Bananarama: As is typical, I was multitasking:

    1. transcribing 80 years worth of records into material for my book on the Blackstone Corridor (amazingly tiresome, which is why I was posting here: I HAD to break often to stay awake/sane)

    2. On one break: Just saw one of the Bananarama “babes” on TV: come to find out she is married to the “other half” of WHAM! (choose life) and says he just drinks beer all the time, while she looks and sounds like some uppity crusty Brit country dame. Cruel Summer indeed!

    3.So I put on Bananarama (they’re cover of VENUS)on the PC

    4. At tht moment, while I was writing the post to you above, I heard (via e-mail) that I got an interview booked with PETER CHAPMAN of the FINANCIAL TIMES, who just wrote a book titled:
    “BANANAS: HOW THE UNITED FRUIT COMPANY SHAPED THE WORLD.

    And VOILA! Bananarama: the synchronous event.
    And speaking of gimmicks: BANANARAMA was a clssic Brit pop group of the early 80s. Like Britains answer to the Go-Gos.

    BANANARAMA IS MARRIED TO WHAM????

  20. Mark Lynch, on March 15th, 2008 at 5:45 pm Said:

    Well, one of BANANARAMA (Keren Woodward) is married to one of WHAM! (Andrew Ridgely), I guess making a WHAMARAMA. Listening to her talk, I couldn’t tell if she was being droll or actually ready for Andrew to finally “grow up” before she goes-goes.

    Andy’s main reason for living is SAS: “SURFERS AGAINST SEWAGE”. In the words of Jack Paar: “I kid you not.”
