I Now Have In My Lab Freezer Over 8,000 Samples Of Human Urine!

Lumps?

E is for Edward who died on the Cape.

While teaching for the week in Cape Cod, we got a chance to visit the House of Edward Gorey.



Original artwork and Edward's watercolor set.



Ready for print.



A look inside the peephole:



Edward's weather vane:



Dolls he sewed while watching the X-Files:



And my personal favorite: The gravestones of the Ghastly Crumb Tiny's.




The class went well, the trip was great. We stayed with Cyndi.


My sunglasses cheating on me (Moya sans hula hoop):



And Again (Johnny's first day off since mother's day . . . He opened a restaurant on the Cape called Sol).



And I even got a good start on a new plate:



All that AND an ass-kicking set by the Squirrel Nut Zippers at a small bar on the shore of the ocean.

Cape

We leave for Cape Cod tomorrow. Melissa is teaching a lithography class and I will be "assisting" her. In order to demonstrate the technique we had to draw on some litho plates for the class. When you draw litho there is no erasing. You draw and don't make mistakes . . . right.

Oh, and you can't touch the plate either. I wore a sock from wrist to elbow and a rubber glove. I think the first plate took four hours to draw, it's 18" x 12", and three ultra fine sharpie markers:



Now that I've got the first one out of the way, I think I am getting a feel for how I need to work on these plates. I've been looking at a lot of Edward Gorey stuff for inspiration.



And a bonus digital image, in case you think I'm just sitting around the house and patting myself on the back about being unemployed for the next two years and left to my own artistic devices:
