‘As for What the Rain Can Do’ by #DAPowell #poetry from The Paris Review
As I am in summer shower territory and they’re both on Bluesky
wash me in blossoms yet to come lift my boat flood the rice fields where the egret lands complex math rinse off a bench turn on a dime give you something to think about feed an aspiring stream tell you by thunder it's coming stand you up play a little music on the rooftop get a body good and wet open the golden tulips mix us a drink

After 40+ years of freelance inking, some axioms:
1. Ink as much with white paper as with black ink.
2. Choose line width/pen nib in relation to final printed size.

Example of myself making a pig's breakfast of #2 with all of above illustrating a 3rd axiom:
3. Always be hard on yourself.
Naked man paddling atop an immense naked dead man, all amidst an endless sea. Illo from the German edition ofCocktails by @dapowell, an anthology of verse by a really worthwhile American poet. These poems are often focused on the impact of AIDS in the USA and other aspects of life as it was lived in a certain era. Of all the books I've done, this is my wife's favourite, both for art and poetry. It was a white stone book in every possible way, despite my knowledge that I really should have it inked somewhat differently. Of course, the fee was a laugh but that's often that the price one pays to work on texts by genuinely good authors. It's a balancing act, being a freelance illustrator, but only if you take it seriously.

@quinncy.bsky.social Thought you might appreciate this compliment from someone with excellent taste in movies.
Screenshot of a convo in replies to a post by Benjamin Dreyer: D. A. Powell @dapowell.bsky.social I just don't get The Goodbye Girl. But people love it. Benjamin Dreyer • @bcdre... • 1h Quinn C's first-rate work aside, I have no use for it at all. D. A. Powell @dapowell.... • 54m I stopped waiting for her to be in a reboot of The Bad Seed. But gosh she would have eaten up that role.
