primordial soup

ALT: crayon and ink drawing. On a speckled ground of pinkish-orange fading up to a warm ochre-ish yellow, a bunch of little creatures are swimming around. There are seven green ones that have long tentacles like octopods or some kind of starfish. Then some assorted ones that look more like bugs or plankton. There’s a white “O” and a white chunky star, for no particular reason other than being part of the soup. Winding between and around are chains of imaginary writing.

hold your fire

ALT: water soluble crayon drawing, abstract. There’s a shape like a bent bow with the string pulled to outside the left edge of the picture, but not really any apparent arrow. Also, the stylized, calligraphic shape that might be a person is not in the correct orientation to even be pulling the bowstring. So I’m not sure what the heck is going on there, but the shapes seemed to call to each other for me.

It’s spring and all, but also I recently heard that someone in my pub-sing community is very ill, and he has a humorous song about rabbits that he occasionally trots out. He’s been on my mind and maybe it’s showing.

ALT: water-soluble crayon and graphite drawing of a rabbit among leaves and grasses, looking poised to take off. There’s something that could be a stone or an egg sitting right behind it.
