FREE MONEY!!!
I just found out that I received $50 in supplies from Painted Moon (a local art store) for the chalk drawing below.
Woohoo, newsprint, drawing pad, charcoal pad, charcoal sticks, ink, and silverpoint if they have it, here I come!

Dan, I hadn't checked your blog in a while. I'm amazed with the new stuff you've got on here. Those drawings (going all the way back to the two transcendant people) are better and better. Every time I see something you've created I see improvement. No lie. Your work has so much personality now - more and more each time. Have you ever read Brideshead Revisited? The main character is a painter. He paints architecture; Evelyn Waugh draws parallels between the man as man and the man as painter. I'm not sure I can explain it, partially because I don't fully understand it.
The bowler hat: he talks about it later on, if you've gotten there. It symbolizes their connection to an archaic past. They don't quite fit in their time (a time when they are so light). When are you coming back. Thanksgiving? We should talk about it then.
I am rereading Ben Franklin's autobiography. Once again, I'm astounded by that man. But I was thinking about his junto, which was a club of amateur intellectuals he put together. They met once a week and one person would give a presentation on a topic, and they would all discuss it. I was thinking we should do that eventually. Maybe not exactly like that, but close. (I guess we kind of do already, but it's time to take it to the next level.) It could be like a multi-media (poetry, fiction, art, film, philosophy) workshop. What do you think.
Tell me when you finish the Kundera book. He wrote a book called the Art of the Novel in which he explains several of the ideas in that book and about novels in general. It's short. You could just skim a few chapters even. But it's pretty interesting.
Alright, send me an email if you get the chance. Peace.
