When I was growing up most people who had tattoos were former military or otherwise living on the edge. Maybe more people are living on the edge now?
The tattoos drawn here were drawn from my improvisational imagination. Do they ring true or false?
As of this writing I am myself untattooed, but you never know.
Here is a portrait of my Uncivilly Disobedient Uncle Paul, done two years ago while I and my brother Brian were houseguests of his. Today is his 83rd Birthday.
My friend Karen W. provided the photo source for this drawing of a photogenic yet invasive pest of the Gulf of Mexico. This makes the second Fish entry in as many days, but it is not a trend.
Here is the text of the acrostic: Periwinkles otter twinkles Ain’t Bea wrinkles–sweet/Perturbations of the ether tell the wormhole’s trait/Pacifiers paltrifying worry-warts–not great/Endothermic flareups make a Harper’s day complete/Egomania occludes–don’t hire an old comptesse/Axes grind these systems down–they injure on that basis/Antifreeze your quaint chagrin to ease homeostasis/Artificiality still creeps in nonetheless
Questions? Comments? Denunciations? All are welcome.
My hope is that weekly or oftener I’ll post one of my creative works or works-in-progress, and keep myself energized and growing as an artist/poet. Time will tell.
