To coin the term "Frankensteined"

Speaking of Art-In-A-Box (see previous post, which is directly below this one), here are some images they took of the work I have available through them for October:


A whole bunch of spirit transfer prints (aka Dittos) sewn together, featuring the poem "You Are Old, Father William" from Lewis Carroll.


A portrait of my new sewing machine.
You will note the little Braile touches here and there.

A "Frankensteined" version of my new Time Wasting Machine print, made from the four artist's proofs I had left over from the edition of 100.

to Frankenstein - verb - to sew (or otherwise compile and attach) a bunch of components together to make a whole. 

I also want to just point out that Frankenstein technically isn't the name of the greenish monster made from reanimated corpse parts, made popular by Boris Karloff. Technically that is "Frankenstein's Monster", who doesn't have a name. Frankenstein is the doctor. That book is so good. It was written by a teenage girl almost 200 years ago!

So, anyways, I'm trying to keep busy in the studio while still having a good time all the time, everywhere. My beginner piano self-lessons are coming along slowly (Every Good Boy Does Fine), we're playing baseball every Thursday evening and our defense is actually really improving, my leg is slowly getting back its strength, and I generally love October anyhow, so I say things are all right. And we all know everything lasts forever so I'm all set.
