The Wonderful Plague

by Will Santino

Stretched Canvas

$0.00

Fine art print on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using latest generation Epson archival inks. Individually trimmed and hand stretched museum wrap over 1-1/2" deep wood stretcher bars. Includes wall hanging hardware.

But something else had been growing in those notebooks: a pen-ink population of polyps and anemones that we can confidently classify under the genus Doodle. Then, in one final coup d’etat, the doodles usurped the page: I declared a Studio Art major, and purchased my first unlined sketchbook

The Wonderful Plague spread
glance by glance from eye to eye
the infected laughed and danced,
and cried and cried

Thanks! my hand ached when it was finished, so hopefully it was worth the future arthritis.

I can only imagine! (and hope for the arthritis to never be upon you) The texts are thought-provoking and inspirational, they make me want to make up stories that match them.

Please do, and hopefully your stories will inspire others to draw stuff! Spread the Wonderful Plague!
