the first commandment


Here's something I'm having fun with - unrelated to the film. It's about 11" x 20" - using watercolors, pencil and ink. I think it's about half done, but I should probably stop sooner rather than later.

The First Commandment is:

"Thou shalt not not draw
or thy name will be in vain
and thine paint will not maintain its stain."


More modern religions and bohemian poets translate it thusly:

"Draw or be Drawn."

The Second Commandment is more confusing. There is much discussion and debate concerning its deeper meanings:

"Hallowed be the Rain
its okay to be insane
propriety is pain."
