In The Community: My digital watercolor made from Footsbarn parade images, Masques On Parade, was formally entered into the Members Only! Autumn Salon 2006 at the Hockaday Museum of Art yesterday. Y'know? I ought to take a shot, inside the circusy frame, and post it here. I'll shoot a picture of me and my artwork tomorrow, since I'll be there (early) for Ed Gilliland's lecture and reception.

Media Watch: Trash-O-Rama! I read through Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Eternal Savage. It features Lord (Tarzan) Greystoke as a secondary character in this ridiculous tale of reincarnation and time travel in ERB's version of Africa -- starring handsome troglodyte Nu of the Niocene, his beautiful long-lost mate Nu-tal, and Oo the Sabertooth Tiger -- who dies early, but whose skull is carted around the whole damn book.


As Jimmy Castor used to say: We're going back -- 'way back! ...Cave Men, Cave WOMEN -- troglodytes! Three versions of Edgar Rice Burroughs' non-series potboiler with a cameo by John (Tarzan) Clayton as a British colonial landholder. Left to right: illustrations by P.J. Monahan (1915), J. Allen St. John (1927), and Roy G. Krenkel (1963).
