to Diflucan and friend. All those URLs frightened me so I deleted the posting. Sorry. Thanks for your praise. T

(A Rantipole Pingo Bar Tale) The orig.Rev. Bartlett, Masker COMING SOON dated 2001 was a 10.5"x.5" sidestepped artwork.
Encircling his likeness were cameos of him playing many parts including baby + moustache.

Now The Rev. is updated as legend in Binder 05, NARR. SCRAPBOOK.
Storyline has a broker locating (mostly unsuitable) suitors. The search deteriorates. Finally, a detective has to be called in. Knowing the daughter, the question is, who among clowns, criminal elements, flatfeet and roustabouts is father of the child?

...from my lane. One, 5cm across, somewhat translucent five- petalled blossom, white, quince, forced since feb10.

As well as being hardly able to climb, clothed, into a bathtub to clean it - I barely remember what I did yesterday. Apt. 'zones', piles of stuff, binders and your machine- world tell this Time-blind old lady what to do.
And gearing down, I don't use my oven (except to take the chill off the place) or the other three burners on a stove-top. As well, after 3 yrs no ptgs have been hung. Purchases lean against walls stopped by a vow (yrs as head of a co-op mtnce cttee) I'd make no more holes. No walls to fill at move-out time.
However, one is tempted. After immersion in OBJEKT mag and other current colour/ minimalist supposed trendsetters, a run of ATCs produced gave back to me, a maskMaker. I can see Bartlett2 just as he is (or minus storytelling tag), very large on a wall.
The Rev. Bartlett, Masker, 4 Hearts, a legend in his own time, returns to audit the Jingaro's (Capua c4 pleasure/ trade centre) new season of clown acts -- Binder No. 5.

Q: how do you know when ?
A: when you can no longer climb into the bathtub to clean it...

"...anime style and why artists draw the way they do..." (my italics)
One is left unfulfilled as to the complete 'why' of Japanimation but does find instructns re how it's done for magazines, manga or comics for heads male, heads female; eye- styles, noses/ mouths, all graphic and in one place -- the SFX Anime Collection pp. 122-6 a format unusual for a magazine.
Disney, the Simpsons and other established animation studios have their -- 'conventions' worth re-examining.
I taught myself -- circle with one eye and word 'base' was the way I approached children (faces) after months of trial/ error populating the Jingaro with adult faces.
The one eye is constructed at magnification 6X. -- COPY/PASTE/FLIP establishes the other eye which is then tweaked out of symmetry.
After, one picks up any full- face rendering ( album photo, newspaper/ mag., / Nat. Geographic, etc.) from anywhere. Digital portraiture starts as easily as this.

My querent wanted to know about a story well over twenty years old:
1. who are these various people? -- my Caravan Woman, her grandson, her father the King; her former husband the Knight? Maybe even the fairies?
2. What are their histories?
3. What is the story's framework?
4. What of my own experience was/ is structuring the story?

This kind of enquiry might occur just after seed-sowing, or as checklist after story completion or long after -- is the tale worth redoing or making adaptation?

we didn't argue about the story dated 1981, but came close. The solution (?) e-mail went like this:
'the way through DMC (Dragon...Missing Claw) and other authorial impasses might be to think of one component you liked; open it out, as you say, by elaborating one chunk at a time. What do you wonder about? I've always wondered about the Elders; who they were, what they meant to the King, to the Caravan Woman, to caravanserai, to themselves. Remember though about the matl interesting you: In the words of a Central Park (outdoors) chess player observed by me, circa 1953, the game has progressed, the author you try to do this with/ to, might be "...not there any more."
So, is it possible to update concerns by exploring some of my more recent scenes, circa 2003; setting the DMC 'jewel' as tale told in a specific pub -- a legend's shortcomings argued about by Widows, not us?'

Once upon a time there was a father who had three daughters. And three sons - one daughter/two sons by his first wife one son/ two daughters by his second. And a dwarf give or take a few (courtiers). He was a Leif King. Sometimes Ralph, sometimes Chu. Never deposed but on the run, like now - just off the prison ship SS BEATRICE. Still young, but fatherly; wanting to see his daughters. SHUFFLE DECK. CUT. Turn cards to the first Queen.

From a 'signature' (16pp) accompanying an Oct 2003 'Recycling Fine' art exhibit in Chilliwack to get this Handbook off my desk:
1. "Sometimes Claes (Oldenburg) and I would go out at night with a cart. Everything we made was from found things which we then elaborated with paint and collage. We didn't have any money but more to the point was to use the garbage, to use the city." (Jim Dine).
2. same with Matisse.
