April Fools

I've let more than two months pass without writing, guess I'm the fool as now I'm at a loss of where to start. Most important first: my art that I've been showing / selling on the Zoo Fence each weekend. I've been making 11 x 14" pen and ink drawings, enhanced with color pencil and some with hand dyed paper, a new technique I've developed that gives a flat area of color that works well with the fine lines. Some examples of my current work is attached, including a diptych and a triptych made by stacking images - an effect I really like. When I'm not doing art or just out enjoying the warm weather I have found lots of good visual art, and wonderful experimental theater - just saw 'Thread Hell' a fasinating, kind of surreal, Japanese contemporary play. This was the premier production in English. Have seen three other plays, all very good. And then all the films! The Hawaii International Film Festival just ended: saw Midnight's Children; a North Korean film called Comrade Kim Goes Flying; but my favorite was Cutie and the Boxer about wife and husband artists in NYC.
