FLYING
Still 7.24.20
I still haven't picked a title. I'd like those pages to look. The words demand to come quickly. The words don't knock. They run in, move through me and demand to land on paper.
The visuals are often a record that comes later.
Today was supposed to be dedicated to private envisioning for 29 pieces. - Rights
