Pace yourself the air is freezing

Early afternoon yesterday, before the news broke about the plane ditching into the frigid Hudson river, I made this larger drawing from a chunk of words I first entered in the small book on Jan 7th (click the pic for a larger version):

Is it megalomaniacal of me to think that I might be God, controlling fate with my words?

Chiseling a painting to life

Sometimes, scraping away many layers of paint that ain’t workin’ is best accomplished with a sledgehammer and chisel, at least when the painting is on plywood.

Now it’s ready for a new beginning.
