An odd thing happened tonight while working on Field I:

The little vertical strokes got messier, more complex, and then I started adding the little black shapes above the their usual place in the white field. All of a sudden I felt as if I were looking at a small, inchoate Last Judgment: tiny souls ripped from their frozen waste and sucked up into an even colder empyrean.

Awful. I hope it lasts.

I just remembered that I hadn’t updated my fans on what happened with Field II. It was sold for $60 at the “Tulips & Juleps” affair on Saturday night. I actually do not know who bought it. I’m trying to find out. The start of a brilliant career.
