The phrase is Herman Melville's; the sentiment is mine. A blog based on my sketchbooks is what you get.

In Tongues Illustrated Future Past #3
I was riffing/ripping off poet Charles Olson. Or was it Ezra Pound? If one can't remember from whom one is stealing, does that make for an original statement? I ponder these things and just like I said back when, "If I knew what I was doing I could wish to tell you."
I externalize randomness in my sketchbooks for later use towards more, arguably, linear means, or, on the other hand (file under: never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing), as an end unto itself. The sketchbook, following, is not unlike the processes of life, at least, my life.
Sometimes here I magnify certain elements for perusal, sometimes I will let the full picture breathe. The additional commentary by myself that appears alongside the images should be read as if one is viewing the sketchbook in person with yours unruly; this commentary provided could be disconnectedly abstracted, just plain autobiographical, or downright misleading.

Sad thing is, I think the thing on the wall represents me.
