Just something I doodled up and added the most basic color to.
I don't know if this thing is genderless, a very masculine woman, or a very feminine man. Or somewhere in between.
But I do know that it predicts the future and is kept by attendants of the temple.
This was supposed to be just a fun little exercise, but it ended up being WAY more popular that I could have predicted, so gets it's own album.
Because I'm in a mystical, celestial mood this week... This is based on a character I once wrote about.
"...she moved under the light of stars, a specter beneath the black cobwebs of tree limbs. She could see the world as it once was and as it would be; with one touch of her hand she could remove the veils of a person's heart revealing its true desire and glimpse all the pleasure or peril it would bring. The immensity of these revelations brought considerable pain along with a sharp responsibility. Therefore this gift drove her to seek solitude. She could often only be found wandering the mountainsides at night... high above the city where the ether melts into moondust and the silence is as enveloping as a black silken cloak."

"El Coco and my son, Curtis Momber, at the band shell in Tompkins Square Park. El Coco, Born Jorge Brandon, was a survivor of the Ponce Massacre in 1937 in Puerto Rico. He was kind of a political refugee living a very obscure life in NYC, most of it on the Lower East Side streets where he often looked like just a bum. But many people knew him to be the oracle he was as well as a poet and a sign painter.
While gentrification in 2011 has seemingly gained over the Puerto Rican population, it is very clear that the presence of the pre-gentrification indigenous struggle has preserved much of the 1980's structures in the hood."
