painting again. feverish. there is so much work to do, so much time to put in. the
ideas have been coming in waves, which is good because the commissions
have been keeping pace. i find it odd that when i'm in one of these sessions, one of these
creative frenzies that you've all seen me go into from time to time,
how people start watching, start wondering, start asking whyhowwhen.
they are most interested in what inspires. i do my best to explain the
need that is always just below the surface, that waxes and wains but
mostly waxes within artists (this one, at least) to make the lines and
colors they see in their heads into something tangible. it's like putting your jacket on when you know you're about to step
out into the cold. except that it's a straitjacket, with long sleeves buckled to the
back, and you are bound with chains and locks, hanging head down,
immersed in a pool of water and you only have a few minutes to escape
before you are lost to the delirium of hypoxia. or something like that.
