Exquisite Corpse 06 is right up the Lesser Key of Solomon. All he needs is a tiny rapier to be included in the pantheon. Unfortunately like the little bird with rapier he will be excised and become apocryphal.

At this point I am struggling with what to talk about. I have done personal stories. I have discussed the past, present and future of my work. I have complained extensively about my Sisyphian to do lists.

Now it is just about finding inspiration. This morning I had a flash of how to incorporate the old OpArt set. A simple idea of copying repeating patterns manually through photocopiers. This could be an easy ticket to custom papers.

Maybe doing white collagraphs onto magazine pages and then copying. Maybe it is too much or just good enough in its own. I will have to work the process out. All I know is it is a good idea.

If I work extremely hard I could make a year of all new work posts. That could be a great celebration of my fifth anniversary. Plus it could drive me even further into insanity.

Let me see how this year goes. I know that the response has been greater than ever. And I do have so many ideas. No promises, just hope.
