jasper johns

thinking of jasper johns, with a nod toward tim lane.

there's something whimsical and yet deadly serious all at the same time about this piece--grey alphabets.

once, when evie was still a tiny-tiny (less than three months old) tim and i took her to the kresge museum on msu's campus. if memory serves me correctly, that was the day tim discovered a jasper johns sketch tucked away in one of the back rooms of the museum.

one of the great unknown treasures of the museum--the other being warhol's gold marilyn. and evie, asleep on my shoulder, didn't see much of it. sigh.
