Hi Mark, it's been awhile. The texture on this reminds me of the parchment on a century old book in my little art library. Is it possible you found some ancient vellum or you have invented some way to accelerate time? Whatever the case, it works nicely.
If you do have a device to increase the speed of time please stop pointing it in my direction.
Hey Tom, nice to hear from you- Hope construction's concluded safely, and you're settling into your new space.
The paper's actually just smooth-surface Bristol, thoroughly overworked. Every time I finish one of these, I say I'll never do this much stippling again. And then, midway through the next one, I think, well, I'll just smooth this a little, right here...
When I was twenty, a wise friend told me that time passes faster the older you get. I was twenty, so it didn't mean much to me. Then.
I'm an artist and writer. My work has appeared in American Art Collector, Endicott Journal, Bluecanvas, Word Riot, Metazen, Fictionaut Selects, and many other publications. Original drawings, prints, artcards, more at the links below. Thanks for looking.
