One Beautiful Spring Day
“During the course of creating the 100 pages that brought ONE BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY into existence I redrew a number of pages several times. In the case of the drawing here I drew this large 2-page spread no less than three times. Why? Because of the aerial elements. The plummeting ball with the twisting smoke was too literal, having been foreshadowed in a way intended to be symbolic. The other objects in the air had too much personality, which raised unwanted questions; and there weren’t enough background explosions. In short these’s nothing at all wrong with this drawing; in fact in some ways it’s the best of the three. But it wasn’t exactly matched to its connecting moments, so I re-drew it.” -Jim Woodring, india ink on bristol, 18.75″ x 12.25″, 2020.

Saturday Matinee – The Pogues, Chelsea Williams & Johnny Winter
The Pogues lost one. RIP Shane MacGowan.
Nice bluesy cover of a Tom Waits song sung by Chelsea Williams, with John Schroeder / guitar, Vikram Devasthali / trombone, and husband Ross Garren / harmonetta. Should have been filmed in 16mm b&w – in 1927.
Too soon for Christmas music, so how about some Winter? Fire it up!
Another week gone in a blink and the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone. Nothing to do but be back here tomorrow and think thoughts while we still have time. See you then.
