flock of arcs
ALT: crayon drawing. A swarm of green fish shapes, seen from above, swim through a series of interlaced circles and arcs. The fish actually started out as leaves, that’s probably why they’re green.

moon baby seeds
ALT: colored ink drawing, simple lines and shapes, mostly blues and greens with a few pink-orange spots. There’s a crescent moon up top, balanced on the leaves of a plant, which also enclose a compact oval-shape that could be a tiny person. there’s another, larger one, head downwards, off to the right. That one is in a water-drop shape, that is connected to the ground by a series of yellow droplets. I didn’t have anything profound in the front of my mind; I just wanted to relax into simple, pleasing shapes and colors.

hang the night on a janky scaffold
ALT: ink and graphite drawing, abstract. Some fat dark lines structure the page. There are shapes that could be sky, wires, stars and moon on the upper sections, and scribbly lines below that could be the energy of the town’s streets at night. Color is mostly blue, with yellow highlights.

how does this body work?
I confess I have been looking at reels of baby elephants in all their floppy awkward goofiness.

cat quarters
ALT: acrylic painting. Four cats, three of them stencils and one the stencil template, positioned roughly in a square, with lots of spirals and dots and action lines around them.

eight lives
ALT: crayon drawing of a stylized recumbent cat – yellow with blue outlines and a blue star on its back, and crescent moons in its eyes.

methinks I hear an heavenly host
ALT: crayon drawing. Two angel rocks flying (they have wings and halos, otherwise just rocks). A hornet soars above blowing a horn, and faint in the background is something like the archaic angels with no body and about six wings.

reach and hold
ALT: crayon drawing, somewhat abstract. A plant occupies the right side of the drawing, with an orangish rock held in its roots and its leaves lifted toward and overlapping a red rubber ball of a sun.

and the forest fights back
ALT: abstract crayon drawing. There’s some stuff that looks like trees in the upper right corner. A long red shape I think of as a battle dryad has its back to the trees. Some watery stuff in the upper left, and a curve of pink and gold arcs around, pushing back against the dryad, perhaps. Or tell your own story about it.

pair o’ tykes
ALT: graphite and crayon drawing of two toddlers. One is standing, in profile, with one hand on the head of the other, who sits grinning and facing you. Sketch taken from a couple favorite photos of my sons when they were but wee things.
