The dart is still in the dartboard and the beer is still on the counter in the bar. So untouched is DYE-2. Slowly, the weather and wind have encroached and in a few years it will probably be difficult to get in and see this unique, American cold war relic on the ice sheet in Greenland.

“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.
