It has been a long time since I have been an active member of a faith community; but in the 1980s I was a member of an Episcopal congregation in NYC and at the time I created this artwork for the parish's newsletter.
The prayer is by Frederick Buechner, an ordained Presbyterian minister and author. I struggle alot with my wacked out sleeping/waking cycle. So this prayer has special meaning for me. I am glad that I have rediscovered it.
I think that I used a sumi brush for this drawing, but I can't really remember.... My handwriting of the prayer has much more delicate lines, but the scanner was not sensitive enough to reproduce it properly. I probably used a fine point Pilot pen for the prayer. (Nothing special.) I drew/painted/wrote on gray paper.

I set myself up for utter failure. Or did I? Anyway, it felt like I tried so hard to make this sketch fail.
1) Really big brushes to make rendering finer details practically impossible - CHECK
2) Crappy copier paper that is bound to wrinkle and tear (which is both did) - CHECK
3) Little or no experience in a medium, so lack of skills is a sure thing - CHECK
4) Unlucky number for a day of the month - CHECK
Maybe this is an example that it is so bad that it is actually good. More likely, I was so busy getting things right, I didn't have time to mess things up.

PaleoStallion white ink 12 x 14 inches 2004 [04402]
This was a piece of Ice Age [paleolithic 8000 - 30,000 BP] portable art, carved out of maybe bone, maybe antler. I decided to use this image [unaltered] to create two images, this one using white ink w/black paper, and another using traditional black ink.
Horses were amongst the top subjects portrayed in the paleolithic gallery of art but seldom with this much screaming emotion.
