a painting from figure drawing at the museum

inadvertent homage to boucher  21x13cm

as the model was settling in for the last pose a drawer (not me) said “olympia” which caused the model to roll on her stomach in a pose not unlike what francois boucher would paint from his imagination, or so i have read.

the lost panda is found

a midsummer day’s dream
this is a portrait of lucia’s great granddaughter early in the next century. behind her is seattle which teams with 30 some million people because it’s cool and wet there while every where else is hot and waterless. the salish sea is not as clean as it is now so i didn’t go for a swim.

dr raczkowski and his eggplant escape pod
in an alternate universe there is a professor who spends more time playing chess on the internet and less writing articles and such. this universe is also increasingly litigious and there it is cheaper for universities to tell the not getting tenure professors they are going to give a paper in nome alaska. instead they are drugged on the plane which flies to kazakhstan where they are placed on a surplus soviet era rocket and sent to mars, where if they can find it they can teach at the university's satellite campus. 55x34cm
