Tracy St. Warehouses, ca 2007

"...before the art galleries, the hair salons, the confectionaries, the trapeze canopies and recording studios, they were a series of vast, neglected compartments of darkness and detritus...home to pools of stagnant rain water and rotting lumber, filled with stifling black heat, reeking of turpentine and mildew...populated by turkey vultures and feral cats...harboring twisted yet powerful trees growing up from the collapsed foundations...
     This drawing will appear in an ATHICA book project about historic Athens as seen through the eyes, stories, and memories of Athens' artists. 

"I am the garden" to appear courtesy Black Hill Press!!!

The good news continues: I have been asked to submit a drawing for the Black Hill Press anthology, The Cost of Paper. This is an anthology showcasing various writers in celebration of National Independent Bookstore Day. The anthology will be available for the paltry sum of four American dollars (the actual cost of paper it is printed on, no more)! Visit blackhillpress.com to find out more, and while you're there, check out some of their other available goods!
