Jesus Miracle

Tonight I cut part of a lino block image of Jesus. The miracle that happened was that when I cut through the block his face turned to flesh color. The whole block is white. How did that happen? I've cut more lino blocks than I can say and this is a first. A miracle and message from our Creator. Holy ART!

Kate says she can't wait to see the lips cut...to see if they turn pink or red and start talking.

a broom

i spotted this broom near the elevators in the long term visitor parking at ohsu. what history, timeless personality, and aura of good old fashioned function. this one's for you, robert...i know you would've wanted to cast this in glass.

i'm too busy to cook.
