My 2016 Lenten Sketchbook:
A labyrinthine prayer from Carmina Gadelica “…Carmina Gadelica is a compendium of prayers, hymns, charms, incantations, blessings, literary-folkloric poems and songs, proverbs, lexical items, historical anecdotes, natural history observations, and miscellaneous lore gathered in the Gaelic-speaking regions of Scotland between 1860 and 1909.

This year’s advent sketchbook is going to unfold like a narrative. I have no idea where this is going, so I’m along for the ride as well… Here’s how it begins… Editor’s Note: This series ended almost as quickly as it began.
My hands had a small cameo in a film where I drew the Cameo Theater, which was the theater in which audiences saw the film’s debut. A cameo of the Cameo in the Cameo. Cameo Theater, by Paul Soupiset, part of a title sequence of a 48 Hour Film Project by SimpleMan Productions, Jonathan Zitelman…
Three years ago, I invited a group of retreat participants to join me in a collaborative art-making project. Complicating matters — this was done with no verbal instruction: we were participating in a contemplative retreat led by Mary Earle, and had taken vows of silence for the day. It ended up being a sublime afternoon…

[x_video_embed no_container=”true”] [/x_video_embed] I’m working on a new tattoo design (not shown here), but it led me to go find these old ones and post them.

It’s strange to see a piece of art you’ve made years ago, having not seen it in person in the intervening years. Yesterday I was reacquainted with two such pieces. In 2008 I crated up two large pen-and-ink drawings on gesso board and shipped them to Los Altos, California, where they have resided in the…
