SCREWNOSE

sometimes, candle lids have exxxtras on top,
like a hook, or a little doodad, or a little thingy, or whatever.
y'know?
like, to make it seem fancier, the lid has decoration on it.
i'm not hatin', take it easy.
however, i couldn't remove all of the attachment from this one,
so there's a star-lock and a screw poppin' up out of it's face:

yeah.
i think this one's like three and a half inches?
give or take.
hmm?
yeah, that alchemical astrology jaun on it's head is crooked.
i told you- these happen in between appointments, man.
that's not an excuse, it's a reason-
they exist in the spaces between spaces,
and you get what you get, and you don't get upset.
i'm letting the weird wood and the very cheap paint dictate what happens here.
i'm just a hand holding a frayed and splayed set of budget brushes,
making small art for the small spaces in between square frames,
filling in and filling up the flavor and the atmosphere of AMPERSAND TATTOO.
there's no room for taking it easy, only for making MORE.
i'm dippin' paint out fast and loose, and i s'pose it's a lil tiny bit formulaic as well-
but that's how a series of something comes into being, i think.
a template is laid out, and extrapolations occur on the continuous theme.
right?
i'm pretty sure that's a thing.
i know i've got over a dozen of 'em so far,
and i'm still stocked with my hoarded heap of circles still, too-
i'm gonna keep doing it until they're all used up,
and then, i'm gonna do a whole new thing.
i might even learn to draw something else.
we'll see;
never quiet, never soft.....
