Musings on Marilyn, for Grandpa

So I keep coming back to this image but not knowing where to go with it. Something about it is flat, missing. Maybe it's just too pastel. Maybe the bus just needs to be bolder, stronger...it gets lost in the background. Perhaps I will come back to this over the course of my blogging, visit different versions.

I am not sure whether to turn it into a screenprint at this point. It doesn't seem settled to the point of committing it to ink, but at the same time, maybe that's just what it needs, some ink, then some working into it, or over it.

I am very tired and I should get to bed -- maybe the bus will look brighter in the morning. Probably not.

Checking In

Just checking in. I know I have been MIA with the wedding and all, but I am back and ready to go. I have been a little slammed with freelance work (some stuff I will hopefully be able to show you once the clients approve, etc.) as well as getting some work ready for the Museum School's December Sale. More on that soon.

Jamaica Plain Open Studios, Part Deux

It has been crazy busy. Will catch up with more when I get back from Greece, but for now, here is a great shot taken at Jamaica Plain Open Studios this year.

This is a nice view of the space we work in and of the teeshirts we make. Sad to not participate this year, but will be ready and rearin' to go next year.
