Orson Whales

This is more or less a birthday gift to myself. I’ve been drawing it on every page of Moby Dick (using two books to get both sides of each page) for months. The soundtrack is built from searching “moby dick” on You Tube (I was looking for Orson’s Preacher from the the John Huston film), I couldn’t find the preacer, but you find tons of Led Zep and drummers doing Bonzo and a little Orson reading from the Novel for a failed Italian T.V. film…… makes for a nice Melville in the end.

the Library project based vid Butterfly (A collab of A. Saunders, Raszka and Me) made the the daily reel top ten last week and since I’m below water working on Moby Dick, I thought I’d repost it along with a new Book Collab from Caroline VK of The Library project. The infinite butter.

I Made Pictures of Making a Picture of Everyone Who Might Be Looking At These Pictures of Everyone

This was interesting in a lot of different ways… the most obvious here is how do you describe a horizontal scroll on a vertical scroll. That’s one of the many conflicting impuses embodied in this crowd… all born out of monkeybook and being surrounded by a physical audience… who is my audience?… I think I’ll draw them and perform infront of the drawing. Today’s post also asks the guestion (more than most), which here is the real work of art? The drawing, or the film of the drawing, or the whole thing together on the blog, or what?
