Two poems, “[
Pastoral med – ian ]” and “Franc – / {AND} {is} / es.” appear in Vestiges _02:
Ennui, published by Black Sun Lit; the launch was August 11 at Unnameable Books
in Brooklyn. In keeping with the theme of the issue, it is wholly appropriate
that I neither attended nor was invited. Several did attend, brought together
by anti-ennui violence, including Haley Hemenway Sledge. Her short story, “Two
Girls,” is my favorite work in the issue. Her middle name, Hemenway, is also the
name of a street in Boston, where the mysterious [ M ] once lived on bagels and
acid.
Why're Sharpies called so? I never heard of them til LOST season 3 finale. Are they like 9H pencils?
ReplyDeleteWhy are western fashion mags often so severe.
Have you heard of POSCA pens? I hadn't, til maybe a year ago.
POSCA? No. Do tell. Are eastern fashion magazines less severe? I think the theme of the spread I used was nuns in Soviet Russia.
ReplyDeleteah, sorry, I forgot to click the "notify" button...
Deleteposca are water based marker-pens, they can be blended together for additional hues. Old ones pick up the hues of others.
japanese fashion magazines are hyper-cute. They lose the "hyper" when aimed at the over 40s but otherwise retain the "cute" . . . and no perfume samples.
maybe like gouache in a pen? I'd never heard of them. An artist friend asked me to send them, as they are cheap here. So they must be a japanese product.
ReplyDeleteA self-taught artist called ai-madonna does live-drawings etc, of hyper-cute possible NSFW girls. That is the current culture here.
Soon the severe soviet-era nuns will move in and sort everything out & onto a path of righteousness.
