Aubrey Beardsly

Pen & Ink, approx 12" by 14"

Besides Tiffany, another of my favorite artists is Aubrey Beardsley (You'd think I liked Art Nouveau or something!). I used one of his drawings as a model, then changed it a little to meet my needs for this drawing.

Once again, I have no idea what the deep, hidden meaning is for this piece, but I do know I like it. Oh, and this is Black on White, not the other way around. If I were smart, I would have started with black paper, but I never thought of it at the time.

Stunning! I love Beardsley's work, too. It's got such a visceral hook!

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

I have been disabled for several years now. It's not nearly as much fun as you might think, but there are two very important advantages to being pretty much bed-bound:

1) I never have to hurry. Ever.

2) I have a lot of time to Think. This can be dangerous, but sometimes fun, too.

I like to muse about life. I make strange connections in my mind sometimes. So this is pretty much a philosophical journal, albeit a strange philosophy. It's also a repository of some of my stories.

And finally, this is a safe place to share when I finally get yet another piece to the puzzle. And to ruminate on it.

I make no claim to consistency.

Feel free to comment -- I truly love hearing from you.
