Sez he’s, “…partial to the Kremlin model… let everything burn to the ground, and THEN take over.”

Distressing watching the war rage on in Ukraine where the Ukrainians are fighting with one hand tied behind their back and know they cannot take the fighting to the Russians even while the Russians are targeting Ukrainian civilians and inf. That this has become a political volleyball with ultra conservatives siding with Russia leaves no doubt how the former president and his followers feel about attacking the innocent and they wouldn’t be restrained by Geneva Convention guidelines.

After dinner, prepared by my darling wife, she retired to do some reading with the understanding, hubby would clear the table, wash dishes, and tidy up.
Welllllll…..he, that being hubby, decided it might be the right time to try his hand at a little naturalismo, and brought out the tools for some sketcheroo.
But kinda the same thing happend when he attempts some Uber realism as when he makes for to do dishes. He just kinda, sorta, like….loses interest, and it’s off to the next thing.

Drumstick Distraction


Hung out with Jennymouse2003 in a department store in downtown Chicago before I had to head off to get my next generation booster shot.
Can you guess which department store in which building this sketch was made? There are 2 clues.
BTW, I think it was John Lenin who said,”The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.”

Killing Time In A ……

 
Went to The Music Box Sunday night with GBabe and two Italian friends to see L’Inferno 1911. The first Italian film three years in the making that was released in March 1911 and directed by Francesco Bertolini, Adolfo Padovan, and Giuseppe de Liguoro. The viewing at glamorous The Music Box Theater was set to a live musical performance with soundtrack by Maestro Stefano Maccagno who also played the keyboards and bassist Furio di Castri as part of the Chicago International Film Festival in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. I grabbed a quick sketch of audience members before the lights went down and later ad libbed King Minos and Charon into the sketch. Jaw dropping in it’s visualization of the first canticle of Dante’s Divine Comedy, and so wonderful in the low tech pre CGI effects such as Lake Cocytus, the frozen lake of the ninth circle, where those who committed treachery against God are punished. (The lake itself was formed from the tears of Lucifer, and the flapping of his wings kept it frozen.)
A fantastic cinematic event, it will be performed again in the Chicago area. Don’t miss it!
The dialogue of the two begin,
Man in hat,”Madonna! Italiani dappertutto!”
Her, “Tra il pubblico?”
Him,”No! Tra I dannati!”
Again, catch this influential masterpiece.
