Observed this pattern in one of the used bricks that are part of our living room fireplace. Made this attempt to capture it:

    This started as a simple note to a sleeping Beverly about my whereabouts just before I left for The Best Little Donut House in Concord, a longtime secret treat that I rarely patronize now that I'm a full-blown Type 2 diabetic. Love all their sweets, but the crumb donuts are my all-time favorites. Happy Thanksgiving, all!

I have been reading "The Joke's Over" by artist Ralph Steadman, his account of his journalistic relationship and friendship with Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the premier practitioner of Gonzo Journaism back in the day. Steadman provided the awful but brilliant illustrations that often accompanied Thompson's work, including "Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas" and others. I was taken with Steadman's portrait of Thompson on the cover of his book and did this attempt at a kind of copy. Nice to get back to the drawing board. Thanks to Steadman, who's now 89, for all the brilliant artwork!
