From the Black Butterfly series. Mini portrait of Oscar Wilde – 10×8” Charcoal and white pastel pencil on Mylar film. A copy of an early draft of Roses and Rue, in Wilde’s own hand, shows through the translucent Mylar. Roses and Rue by Oscar Wilde, for actress Lillie Langtry Could we dig up this long-buried treasure, / Were it worth the pleasure, / We never could learn love’s song, / We are parted too long Could the passionate past that is fled / Call back its dead, / Could we live it all over again, / Were it worth the pain! I remember we used to meet / By an ivied seat, / And you warbled each pretty word / With the air of a bird; And your voice had a quaver in it, / Just like a linnet, / And shook, as the blackbird’s throat / With its last big note; And your eyes, they were green and grey / Like an April day, / But lit into amethyst / When I stooped and kissed; And your mouth, it would never smile / For a long, long while, / Then it rippled all over with laughter / Five minutes after. You were always afraid of a shower, / Just like a flower: / I remember you started and ran / When the rain began. I remember I never could catch you, / For no one could match you, / You had wonderful, luminous, fleet, / Little wings to your feet. I remember your hair – did I tie it? / For it always ran riot - / Like a tangled sunbeam of gold: / These things are old. I remember so well the room, / And the lilac bloom / That beat at the dripping pane / In the warm June rain; And the colour of your gown, / It was amber-brown, / And two yellow satin bows / From the shoulders rose. And the handkerchief of French lace / Which you held to your face- / Had a small tear left a stain? / Or was it the rain? On your hand as it waved adieu / There were veins of blue; / In your voice as it said good-bye / Was a petulant cry, “You have only wasted your life.” / (Ah, that was the knife!) / When I rushed through the garden gate / It was all too late. Could we live it over again, / Were it worth the pain, / Could the passionate past that is fled / Call back its dead! Well, if my heart must break, / Dear love, for your sake, / It will break in music, I know, / Poets’ hearts break so. But strange that I was not told / That the brain can hold / In a tiny ivory cell / God’s heaven and hell.

Charcoal on Mylar drafting film, 12×24”. A surrealistic impression of John Lennon’s murder. For the drawing, I’ve used a reference photo of the Charter Arms .38 revolver the police confiscated at the scene of the crime, tagged as shown in the photo. The butterflies, white lily, and stormy backdrop are from my own references I took on recent vacations. The flower placed inside the gun barrel is reminiscent of 1967’s “Flower Power,” photo by Bernard Norman, showing a long-haired antiwar protester shoving carnations into the gun barrels of MPs during an anti-Vietnam protest at the Pentagon. The caterpillar and butterflies are symbols of the earthly life, spirit, and transformation in the afterlife, and were often used by artist Salvador Dalí. Lennon was murdered on December 10, 1980, shot four times in the back. In 1979, Lennon’s assassin (nameless, as Yoko requested) began drinking heavily and developed an obsession for contemporary art. He bought numerous items of art, including a Salvador Dali, amassing a debt that was becoming way out of control. He began reading with an insatiable appetite, especially “The Catcher in The Rye.” He often interpreted lyrics as if they had been written especially for him. #9 Dream from Lennon’s “Walls & Bridges” album was a special song for John – some say the strange and haunting lyrics of #9 Dream are John’s premonition of his own death. According to John, the foreign-sounding phrase “Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé.” doesn’t mean anything…it is just a phrase that came to him in a dream and he decided to base a song around it. As I was drawing from the storm landscape reference photo, I noticed a vague dark spout along the horizon. There was a tornado touchdown this past July during the storm I had photographed while we were driving, skirting the eye of the storm near Galena, Illinois. I’m not sure if I had captured the funnel’s beginning, but I emphasized the funnel effect in my drawing. The sense of impending doom was strong that afternoon and it matches my unease in the current climate in the states. My motivation for drawing this piece is the surge in gun sales since U.S. President Obama was elected, just one of the many issues in the current American landscape. “It’s simply paranoia,” said Thomas Mannard of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence. “And it’s irresponsible, from my point of view, to be touting how wonderful this is. More guns definitely equal more death.” Mr. Lennon still inspires. I have a dream… #9 Dream (video) / / So long ago / Was it in a dream, was it just a dream? / I know, yes I know / Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me Took a walk down the street / Thru the heat whispered trees / I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear) / Somebody call out my name, as it started to rain Two spirits dancing so strange Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé / Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé / Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Dream, dream away / Magic in the air, was magic in the air? / I believe, yes I believe / More I cannot say, what more can I say? On a river of sound / Thru the mirror go round, round / I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel) / Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold / The spirit dance was unfolding Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé / Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé / Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Lyrics, by John Lennon The butterfly wings along the flower stem are after this painting by Salvador Dalí:

Leaky rollerball on copier paper. Featured in Finks of Inks. Don’t ask. I have no idea what happened … I know, I am just as surprized. I do have a couple of ideas for people who’d like to try doing this though: 1. Buy new rollerballs. Make sure they’re the cheap version that leaks. / 2. Have a glass of dodgy red wine. / 3. Get a broken stereo. One that will only play “Days like these” by Van Morrison, which you found by chance because it tells you No Disk for any other CD in your rack you put in it. / 4. Have a glass of dodgy red wine. / 5. Make friends with someone who lives in Kentucky and whose current work is inspired by dolls (love ya, Tammy!). / 6. Suddenly remember that you have freckles (thanks, Mimi!). / 7. Spend 2 days previous to trying this watching “Lord of the Rings” part 1 and 2. / 8. Forget everything you learned about human proportions. / 9. Have a glass of dodgy red wine. / 10. Stay up late. Having a friend in a different time zone (i.e. Kentucky) helps because they’re preparing lunch while you’re skipping dinner. Provided you live in Central Europe. If not, move there. The climate is terrible. / 11. While doing all of this, simultaneously draw. PS: Make sure you incorporate something you’re used to drawing (birds, flowers, butterflies, decorative elements) just to keep drawing and not get too confused by what is happening. / 12. Oh, and to celebrate, add something you’ve never added to a drawing before, i.e. a signature. You don’t need to be crazy to do this, but it helps.
