I created card-sized portraits of the characters
in Moby Dick to make fortune cards with quotes from each character. I'm looking forward to using the cards in music and songwriting games at my summer teaching sessions at Becket Arts Camp and the Berkshire Athenaeum.
When making the copies I could see the pictures
would make an interesting painting lined up side by side in five rows.
Here's a peek at one batch of the cards above.
I invited Lenox, MA artist Paul Graubard to make some
of his folksy characters to add to my deck. We each agreed that making a painting of these miniature characters would be a good idea. His spin on my concept is hanging at Ferrin Gallery. My painting will be at an upcoming show at the Book Store in Lenox, MA curated by Jim Youngerman.
