I stalled out for several weeks, trying to complete several roughs that didn't want to go anywhere. Or they did want to, but they were too similar to things I'd already done. So I took a break and loaded some new items onto my ephemera page, Then I came back and threw out almost all the half-finished works. Then this one snapped together in only a day. Maybe there's a lesson here? Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2700 X 3450 pixels. See one original source here .

This one got about half-finished and then sat around for months before I finally got serious about completion. By coincidence, there was a brand new post-mortem about *Titan* on You Tube, just a few days ago. The phrase is a play on "Lush Life" by the late Billy Strayhorn. I always forget what a pain text-heavy works are, until it's too late. :D Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2454 X 3625 pixels.

The thick gray border and the beach scene are from a 1930s black and white photo by H.K. Job. "Royal and Cabot's terns. Air full of them. Battledore Island, Louisiana [USA]." Alas, I don't have the book anymore. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2950 X 3600 Pixels. Enjoy! :)

A little more cool, bright morning weather before the blazing heat comes back next week... or so they say. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2400 X 3162 pixels. See one original source here .

Title from a song by Catherine Wheel. Not sure if it was a hit, but it's one I've always liked. Finished just under the wire for Mastodon.Art's annual #Mermay challenge. Woo! See more by other artists here. See one original source here .
