watercolor of a model in class
Washington circa 1911. “Government Printing Office, typesetting.”
This photo is fantastic. I’ll tell you why.
First of all, it is typesetting. That alone is pretty neat. But if you look at it in full size, you can see the drawers of letters, reading things such as “10-point Italic” or “8-point Roman”. I mean, forget drop menus, these are goddamn drawers of type, tables and compartments of formatting. And, as I said, that’s pretty neat. And there’s this ball of paper, sitting beside the trash, and that sort of makes me laugh. This sort of flippant, “Yeah, I know we’re having a photo of the place taken, and yeah, there’s one piece of trash sitting right next to the garbage within an otherwise pristine place.”
more cats (but like Jerri Blank says…go with what you know!)

This counts as art, right? It’s amazing, anyway.

Going to make a much bigger version of this in acrylics! (This is 8x10) It’s supposed to be hedges…in the final version, it’ll probably have birds or bugs or flowers in it.
