Snake Eyes

There he is now, cozying up to Miss Snake Eyes. Doesn't it just figure that these two would find each other? Two of a kind. She's as bad as he is. Tiny little black-hearted thing.

I guess we've all got to have somebody.

Bad Habits

Well, well, look what just rolled off the Ship...

He's coarse and he's mean. A thoroughly unsavory character. He's got a lot of very bad habits. He drinks too much. He smokes. And...I think he cheats at cards.

(Sigh) What can one say but,"Alea iacta est."

At least I figured out what to do with all those old wine corks.

Double, Double, Toil and Trouble...

I feel the need to fall in love again - with an idea, not with a person. But how to conjure it up? I'm casting about in the only way I know how - by touching and moving fabrics and papers - swirling gel mediums, semi-precious jewels and other elements. Something will emerge from the Cauldron.

I found part of the bottom of a shoe in the street the other day while walking my dog. Perhaps if I ink it and put it through my printing press?

Walk with me awhile.

Copycats? Let's hope so...

I'd very much like to think I've been an influence in this new project from the DIA (I think I have!):
