Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |
Sunday, February 26, 2006Illustrator and Photoshop Pix
At the local branch of the state university, got unexpected access to educational versions of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
![]() Made this at ArtCluster with the usual lack of other suspects present. Modified it in Pshop. ![]() Fooled around with Illustrator. Like the Fude brush. ![]() More Illustrator painting. Couldn't quite get the hang of its thinking. Rather a haggard, Schiele-like woman. ![]() Changed the whole thing in Pshop. Labels: image |
