AN UPWARD LOOK

Oh heart green acre          sown with salt
by the departing          occupier

lay down your gallant          spears of wheat
Salt of the earth           each stellar pinch

flung in blind           defiance backwards
now takes its toll           Up from his quieted

quarry the lover          colder and wiser
hauling himself          finds the world turning

toys triumphs          toxins into
this vast facility           the living come
dearest to die in           How did it happen

In bright alternation           minutely mirrored
Within the thinking           of each and every

mortal creature           halves of a clue
approach the earthlinghts          Morning star

evening star           salt of the sky
First the grave           dissolving into dawn

then the crucial           recrystallizing
from the inmost depths           of clear dark blue

An Upward Look By James Merrill

Better late than never I guess, apologies this took so long to put up.

An Upward Look was our (Jefferson, Laura, Hannah, and myself) entry to the Chicago Hole Competition “MINE THE GAP” which won an honorable mention. The content consisted of the two boards above, you can click them to enlarge if you want to see some of the detail, or at least as much as a online image can offer.  I hope you enjoy.

THE PUTTING LOT


This image is already old, but great.

Soooo the putting lot should be open this weekend, our hole works, just needs a few minor things to finish it. Unfortunately for us it’s been raining all week, and you can’t paint things or use carpet glue in the rain. It works mechanically pretty well though, we were on site pretty late enjoying a testing session.

THE INTERNET.

This is the first comic I’ve drawn since June last year.  Pretty sad huh.  I’m liking how it turned out though.  I don’t know what to call these but they’re the first slice of life comics I’ve done I think.  Each will be one page long.  I have several captured already, but this is the first complete.  I’m guessing most will revolve around domestic life, maybe work.  Anyway c & c  welcome.

It’s in the 80’s today.

California State Fair 2007

Just sharing possibly the best gift Hannah and I have ever received.  Received October-ish 2007.

Also of note, the ghost cat found a mouse and made him a ghost mouse.
