But is it art?

It is hard to say why one would want to imitate these (a representative sampling). Hopefully my dear artist friends -- Greg, Mike, Drew, Spencer, Martha, Max, Pete, Christy, Susan, Alexandra, and probably someone I'm ungraciously forgetting -- are not too horrified. If you have any suggestions, please do let me know! Really, I mean that. I am anxious to draw something else, like, I don't know, an apple. Or a person.


Channeling Poe's manic depiction of monotony:

Keeping time, time, time, 100
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the throbbing of the bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells—
To the sobbing of the bells;
Keeping time, time, time, 105
As he knells, knells, knells,
In a happy Runic rhyme,
To the rolling of the bells,
Of the bells, bells, bells:
To the tolling of the bells, 110
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.
- Poe, "The Bells," lines 100-112







Aliens in Hell


Rebellious refusal to draw a pot or a bell.
