yeah, this was a dumb idea.
shit second pass - red:
piss second pass - red:
i'll keep going, i'll probably change my mind after all the reds are done... then change my mind back again part way through the yellows.

tangents.
inch, half inch, quarter... down to one sixty fourths of an inch:
working with the grids and colour... something kinda nice about the hand drawn grid... each colour at the sixty fourths of an inch:
red at 1/16 inch:
add blue at 1/32 inch:
then yellow between the red and blue:
all the colours at sixty fourths:
still a pretty wee drawing, this is just two inches square.

again with the postal strike (which for me a mere inconvenience really) i kinda held off ordering books, though only a couple of these came by post and oddly, the post ones burned me pretty bad at customs...
enzo mari, woflgang laib, callum innes and a copy of agnes martin night sea to be included with the sale of my lower case g piece.
the callum innes book is a real burn unfortunately, really really nice paintings, but the book only shows details of all but one piece, and there's like fifty pieces(!) don't know why they did that.
a shit book of really nice paintings. i will keep the book though, to remind me of how important composition is even if it's just a central form on a page.
my two copies of night sea... pretty different, think the new one is closer...?

more and more this is feeling like a bad idea.
... but, with the six all laid out, i guess i am kinda getting somewhere.

i think i made a mistake... these are pretty hard and they take a long time to do.
oh well, it's kinda important to see those little pattern patches from 1189 bigger... think they'll read more as fields or textures... maybe...?
piss is a little tricky because it's the only word with a descender (p), so i have to lead it a bit.
as interesting as it is to see the patterns bumped right up against each other (entry 1189), i think it'll be nice to see each word pattern isolated/separated.

and some days are all about the grids.
it's a 7 by 8 1/2 inch grid of 3/32 inch squares on a 8 by 9 1/2 inch page.
it's a stack of six for the rest of the seven words in four colour.

the monopoly houses are an odd thing... i guess.
now that the postal strike is over i can get back to finding "useless" things on ebay (maybe there's a use?)
pretty good haul, though i have no "use" for the hotels and not all the houses are the houses i'm looking for.
it's a pretty specific house, as near as i can tell, it's from a specific time period (don't know) of canadian monopoly.
there are actually two "models" which i collect - two shades of green and slightly different door/windows...
i got 103 and 84 "useable" houses from the lot.
and then i got this little pack in the mail today (which is weird). i think generally a monopoly game comes with around 40 houses and 12 hotels?
some day i'll count them all. there's kinda a lot.
i just looked it up, these houses go way back to entry 84 (2013).

i'm fully aware that it's kinda odd... but i'm making my own index cards.
i ran out, but i use them all the time and you can't just pop over to the grand and toy and by a bunch cause there just isn't a grand and toy store anymore so you have to order them and... it's "a thing" now and it didn't use to be "a thing" at all.
eight on a page... just pencil lines, but the red and blue i have are a little bright so each colour line has a 4h pencil line over top.
... it did make me wonder what would happen if i made a stack of one hundred, so:
don't know what it is or what it means... if anything.
