i post with trepidation ~ but boldly

( why )

so i've done the deed. i've committed myself to relaunching Reconstruction (the current content of that site, by the way, is going to vanish now that it's being replaced). i know, i know ~ i've relaunched this thing before. but the reborn version will be radically different and finally in the form it was originally intended.

after entirely too much angst, i have decided to slosh all of my writing together in one fantastic morass of sequential art; serialized, and completely random in order and context. presumably all of the stories will get told (from Figfield to Exposition) within the framework of Morse's attempt to reconcile Lewis Fletcher with Linwood Brown.

this feels "right" in a way it never has before. i think i have finally reached a point of realizing that i don't have to compromise. and i've been trying to think of something more to say about this, but i talk too much as it is.

rembrandt & the gospel according to mark (4:35-40)

the sun sets on another sunday ~

i have worked on a lot of odds and ends this weekend (prolly more odd than end, but that's about par for the course). it took me most of the evening to draw the "rembrandt" picture i mentioned the other day. it was a lot more complicated than i anticipated and i'm mostly pleased with the results, though i am not sure if it "reads" well. i posted a preview under the cut if you want to take a gander at it and tell me what you think. it ain't finished, but the shape is basically in place.

the lettering will be larger and legible on the final, but in case you can't read it, it's Mark 4:37-40ish. i'm sort of torn as to whether the image conveys well enough what i want it to, and don't know whether the quote helps or just confuses the matter. again, mebbe you swell flisters can give me your impressions. other than dead andy lying in state, this is the "opening" image of the story, so i feel like it has to carry all sorts of important tonal/metaphorical junk (you know, all that writerly crap).

okay, enough of me blithering again.
