Sneak Peek at Athenaeum from BoSP

Those are great. Plus the descriptions are CLASSIC.

I like them. At first I thought all 8 were sold but going back I see there are something like 13 pages of 8 each. That's a hell of a lot of drawings. I hope Bill gave you bread and water after he chained you to that drawing table with nothing but an old french book and some markers. Hell, I'd buy one but I'm selling shit like crazy myself to save up for a financially challenged January.

I still have some of this artwork in titles of the set for sale. If anyone wants a copy, I can let you know if your inkpoem preference is still available. It would be for the full set of 5 books, of course.

Markers? Ah, you're killing me, man. That's like someone saying, "Hey, David, dig your book ghost. Where did you get that Xeroxed, it looks cool..."

I've been doing those for 7 or 8 years, and I use hand ground ink and brushes. I know they look like they were dashed off in a minute, but the simplicity is an illusion, baby. They actually take some time to make. And only the first 28 were made for Athenaeum.

We received ghost, by the way, and it is a thing of beauty!

ink poems are good for the soul!

I updated this site with all the ink thingies I did for this Athenaeum project.

so, I was looking at these, and I came across this one:

and I thought 'christ, I hate that song!' then I read the description and realized you weren't talking about that song. either you fortunately never heard it, or it was an event so traumatic, your mind has erased it to save you.

I'm here to fix that!


you're welcome!

 

[mjp]

Ah, the 90s. When even the bastard son of Herman Munster could have a hit song!

But just the one. Don't get greedy.

You know, stripped to its core components though, that's a catchy pop tune. But the production is so SOLEMN and IMPORTANT and there is a MESSAGE, you see, a MESSAGE about...about...well, I'm not sure what it's about, but I can tell it's IMPORTANT.

Fucking Canadians.

mjp, who needs diplomatic wikileaks when we've got you?

I remember the CTD from that Solomon Grundy line. Didn't even realize until a few minutes ago that SG was a super villain from the comics. I never did like super heroes.

Of course, CTD went all Minnesotan with back then as well, Minnesota being one of many honorary eleventh "fucking Canadian" provinces.

 

[mjp]

Minnesota being one of many honorary eleventh "fucking Canadian" provinces.

That's odd, because whenever I went to Canada as a kid, the sign at the border said, "WELCOME TO AMERICA JUNIOR."

 

[hoochmonkey9]

why did they call you Junior?

 

[mjp]

I was diminutive as a lad.








But that would be just like Canada to forget the comma.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

some kid from Minnesota ate the comma. it was in all the papers. he said it looked like a Pogo, but tasted better than anything his Mama could cook up in the magic frying machine.

 

[mjp]

I don't know what a Pogo is, but if it goes into a Booya pot, I don't care to know.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

no, it's kind of like the Sticky Louise Two-Finger, but with more cumin.
