Gradually I Will Encompass All Smashing Pumpkins' Album Art In My Work, Is What It Boils Down To
Spent the morning in a self-indulgent meandering through old internet haunts, artists' portfolios half-remembered, finding curious dead ends after some rabbit-hole detours, compiling imagery to get minced up and respun into something of my own devising.
Traveling across the continent and back has made my brain feel a bit full and disoriented, so I guess that I needed something familiar to touch back to, as I work my way back into the habit of things-familiar things from when I used to know how to make sentences longer than 140 characters. (And for all that need for the comfortable and known, I have been alerted to the existence of Rembrandt's printing press at his historical residence and this knowledge is burning a hole in my mind.)
17: The Star is nearing completion, by the way. If only people would stop interrupting me in the middle of working on it to ask me if it's done yet. Strangely fussed by how long it's taking me to get the details right, my fellow printmakers are. Tarot cards are not things that one pushes to get done, nor are they something done half-assedly.
Other than that. You know. Things. Working on five projects at once, wondering why it feels like I'm not making headway on any of them.
PS: Does anyone else miss dictionaryporn? I recently went through Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and that was a delectable chunk of language to parse. It made me miss having some very choice words of the English language routinely cross my path.
