notes from a widening gyre

i am in the cadman library doing the usual. afterwards i will probably take out a cowboy movie if i can find one as good as Lonesome Dove. also i am listening to TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS which is always like a slap in the face (esp. “pictures of success”), but i know it doesn’t mean to hurt me so i keep coming back.

here is a picture i painted on silk suit lining that was supposed to be of robert duval (mustache-d) drinking whiskey in a cowboy hat, but i guess that wasn’t in the cards. i made a killer frame for it, but for some reason this painting photographs really terribly with and without it, so i figured i’d just slap up an early shot with this caveat.

MOLOCH! or “why i am a feminist”

DETAIL:

this is probably my least favorite of anything i’ve done except for the lady, who’s a heartbreaker. she’s worth the thirty cents she comes with, i think!
