Platypus of Truth

Sandman Overture  is quite possibly the perfect comic book. I read it  through twice over the course of the school year and I think I will only be more impressed by subsequent readings. Here, then is my poor study of one of Williams III's pen and ink drawings for a variant cover. Like Lizzie, I need more practice...

Cover of Evanescence: Synthesis Medium: Red and black pen Why: Pen forces you to commit to every line and own up to every mistake. It may raise the stakes, but it also forces you to get better at your craft.

Birthday 2018 Today is my birthday On this day was Cassius born I write my life in bricolage Of Autumn leaves and poems for persons That I meet (real and unreal) Who shimmer Whether all alone on the Forest floor or grandly swaying on the tree When God turns all the Hills to gumdrops in New England. I cannot see the Whole but only in parts as The Apostle says: Through a glass and darkly. Each part considered Carefully connects back To the branch from which It fell at that first Moment of Creation. My life remains a pile of Leaves; Sybiline Books of prophecy -a child's jump and the meaning's gone- The Meaning and the Moment missed.
