climax of the masque


Gentleman in top hat (including his crazy face) from a painting by Jim Shaw.

This was a difficult theme for me because I've been depressed—not in a party mood.  I still can't walk more than about five steps, so I have a long way to go, disability-wise. But at least I've gotten so proficient at knee-walking up the stairs, it hardly hurts at all.

  1. GORGEOUS colors, Fi, and this guy is spectacularly creepy...he appears to be getting ready to give someone a prostate exam...

  4. Oh Fi I'm so sorry to hear of your 'long way to go', my thoughts are with you, but you sure made a cool carnival collage with all them black people! The background is stunning in red, and the whole collage reminds me of a Tim Burton's kind of carnival.

  7. Yes...may Spring put a spring in your step. I think of you often and wish you all the best. Your collage is a real stunning image and I am not familiar with the work of Jim Shaw but will check him out.
