Again...and a.....

The print is taking shape...the plex intaglio (hate wiping the thing) is roughly half edition...the small etching has been ready to edition for a year now...and soon the litho. I'm getting a 12" wide by 3" dia. brayer due on Wednesday...what this means?....11" x 12" of band of ink without a lap mark! I am considering adding text to the litho...I'm really hung up on this image...it makes me angry that I have to do it...I would rather be doing escapist art that is just for the imagination or just life stuff...but feel compelled to complete this image and some how get it out there...anyway...

BUSH

During the first gulf war (Bush 1) I started working on this image...titled "again...and a..." and after all this time I am finally getting ready to pull the editions...now W wants to start a war with Mexico...or at least get out all the support he can from the bigots he can...divide and conquer...any thing to distract from this administrations total incompetance and criminality...the "free press" finally figures out thier phones are monitored...duh...your either with us or against us...since Ws ratings are down to 29%....this must mean the other 71% of us are down and dirty terrorist...and have no rights...period...this is getting all to real

Again....

A summer like spring day...the sun came up and then went away...slipping on the horizon between tree trunks...crimson...a flitting inferno...natural drama...I caught mouse and set him free.

Found this on the inside of a matchbook that I had written in the 80s:

"How to turn Yellow into Midnight"

That's all.
