Happy Monday y'all.

i thought i'd start the week off with a few of my old acid etchings. word.

Banana Board 101.

Oh my goodness, I am nervous. First posting = Lots of pressure. I am starting this blog as a place to keep my inspiration and samples of my work (until I actually have a real website). I'm hopefully going to limit the amount of writing, but it will creep in there occasionally. Meanwhile, I'm going to quote one of my favorite passages from Murakami's "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle". The photos are of my brother's old banana board. Merry Christmas. 

"To tell you the truth, I have no idea what this long strange story of mine will mean to you, Mr. Okada. Perhaps it is nothing more than an old man's mutterings. But I wanted to--I had to--tell you my story. As you can see from having my letter, I have lived my life in total defeat. I have lost. I am lost. I am qualified for nothing. Through the power of the curse, I love no one and am loved by no one. A walking shell, I will simply disappear into darkness. Having managed at long last, however, to pass my story on to you, Mr. Okada, I will be able to disappear with some small degree of contentment. May the life you lead be a good one, a life free of regrets."
