INKTOBER 2023 - Unfamiliar Faces For Unexpected Anabasis of Homeostasis

I have had playmates, I have had companions,

In my days of childhood, in my joyful school-days,

All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

Ghost-like, I paced round the haunts of my childhood.

Earth seemed a desert I was bound to traverse,

Seeking to find the old familiar faces.

-Charles Lamb

High Tech Low Tech - Just get the idea out of your head

You can put words in any order you want.  I have a great idea and not sharing it with anyone cuz of reasons.  

First Post of 2021- Wild Turkeys and Unloosing the Caboose

This is my first attempt at painting wild turkeys on a wild turkey tail feather. Summer production for Fall Markets. I think it would look nice framed above or across from a cabin toilet. 

Feather are very delicate and great touch is required to paint without ducking up the feather. But I will get better and sacrifice better feathers. I’m also gonna build some Adirondack and barn wood frames. They will be fun to look at while murdering a brown snake. 

INKTOBER - ALL DONE

 I heard the news - watched some of the coverage and went to bed at 7PM.  She was confirmed by a 96-3 vote during the Clinton administration. Has there been votes like that since? No, I checked. 

 

First post of 2020

 

So old man Lenin need someone to fix the top of the spire due to damage during a storm. The cross was crooked or some such.  He put the word out.  Some workman dude is like "fuck it, I can do it." So he climbs the interior to the highest window which is just at the bas or the spire. Climbs out,  and shimmies up the tapered part until he runs into the ball at the top, which looks small from the ground but is quite large in person. So he takes a rope and lassos the cross and just trusts that it will hold and climbs up, sits on the ball and fixes it.  Comes down, Lenin is almost happy, he wants to reward the man but how, money seems to easy, give him a job, fuck that.  HE GIVES THE MAN A CUP with Lenin's likeness or symbol on it and says anywhere you go in the city you drink for free.  This was cool with he dude.  But eventually he lost the cup. Of course he did.  So he tattoos the symbol onto his neck and taps his neck to the bartenders.  And now, in Russia, if you want to go drinking with your friends you make this gesture; flicking the side of your neck with your middle finger.

It's slightly lest than a year since we went to Scandinavia and the Baltics.  It takes a long time to scan stuff do to not wanting to do it and general laziness.  Can you relate to that?  Have you ever had a time in your life you didn't want to do something so you didn't do it?  

St. Peter & Paul's Cathedral in St. Petersburg, RUSSIA.  The Cathedral is architecturally famous yet it is the detailed stories about it's life that is of interest to me.  Yes, it's old and has survived sieges and rulers but have you heard about the spire? (the tall, point thing with the cross on top) 

Scandinavia & Baltics & double points for INKTOBER - I

To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.”
