one more voice in the wilderness
"Raving Artist" might be a misleading title. Yes I usually rave, and yes, I am more of an artist than not, depending on the definition of the word. But most of the stuff I write here is not about art. In the end, this is just one more blog about nothing in particular by nobody in particular. I write because I like to do it; or more specifically, because "vira e mexe" ("every now and then", but more like "every now") something tweaks me and compels me to do it. I find that this is as good a place as any in which to dump my thoughts; and moreover, I am always pleasantly surprised when someone actually reads it. ...That being said, I do feel guilty about the ridiculously enormous amounts of energy it takes to run the servers that power our contemporary living.... oh well, outasite outamind...
My grandpa died this December, and when I came home for spring break this week, my mom gave me these bookends that had been in his house for a long time that look so much like the figures in this painting! I just now randomly thought of seeing this last summer and I had to come find it and compare. He was in the Air Force, but I'm not sure if he was ever stationed in Africa or if he got them somewhere else. Anyway, I don't know when you will see this because it's an older post, but I just thought I would comment anyway!
