Marcel Duchamp in Washington Square Park I changed the prior page - moved one of its panels to this page. Not sure if I'm going to continue this - I think it's done as is.    |

Marcel Duchamp in Washington Square Park Last week was disappointing. I didn't get much done. I'd be ok with my lethargy if I was going out and reveling in hedonism, but I'm not. Last week was spent staring at blank pages, wallowing; I was incapable of doing anything productive, yet also incapable of doing anything fun (out of guilt from being unproductive). Hopefully this week will be more fruitful.   For a picture of Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase," click HERE.For a picture of The New York Evening Sun cartoon called "Seeing New York with a Cubist: The Rude Descending a Staircase (Rush Hour at the Subway)," click HERE.For a picture of John Sloan's etching "The Arch Conspirators," click HERE. (John Sloan is supposed to be the guy in the heavy coat and scarf asking Duchamp what he's doing for the night. The drawing I found on line is MUCH better than the reproduction I copied, and, well, Sloan is a better artist.) For pictures of Duchamp's studio, click HERE, and HERE, and HERE. |

Lee Christmas  Lee Christmas was a man from New Orleans whose career and reputation was ruined after wrecking a train. He moved to Honduras, started working on the trains again, was kidnapped, and became a mercenary. He was a 'natural' mercenary and quickly climbed the ranks. He was reckless, had a death wish, and had a reputation as unkillable. At one point, he was in front of a firing squad and said, "Don't bury my body, so the buzzards can shit me on your heads." He escaped or they let him go.
When Gen. Bonilla of Honduras was disposed, Christmas and Bonilla escaped to New Orleans. In 1911, Sam "The Banana Man" Zemurray organized Gen. Bonilla, Lee Christmas and Guy "Machine Gun" Molony. They hired a gunship and a bunch of mercenaries, sailed down to Honduras, and took it over. |

Visual Notes: ( More of this page... ) ( More of this page... )So I'm working on a larger project. It will be a historical graphic-novel and I hope to serialize it here. I don't know how long it will be, and I don't know how long it will take to finish. The plot is worked out, but I still need to do a lot of research. I'm spending time in the NYC Research Library looking through their photo collections and digging through books and primary sources. I'm also reading a lot of fiction set in the period I'm interested in. There's a lot to the story, but for now I'm staying quiet about the specifics until I actually start posting section. The plot is massive and I'm not sure what is staying in and what is going to get cut. I'm going to be posting various research based prep-drawings with only an occasional Book Review. Hopefully in another month I'll start serializing the story. |
