Next etching and a start of a small series (I really need to categorise my stuff by series as well), this time encompassing different printing techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you guess what this picture is about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you did congrats, if you didn’t – just google its name and try not reading next paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an illustration to a haiku by Matsuo Basho. It goes something like this (hopefully the text is right):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An octopus pot -\ninside, a short-lived dream\nunder a summer moon.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nHere as it is usual, I’ll let myself take some artistic liberties as well as try writing a short verse instead of plaintext prose description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is an octopus that found a pot and stuck his head inside.\nThe thought than crossed his mind:\n\"Why don't I wear it like a hat, and be a gentleman of sorts?\"\nHe sat and thought and reasoned with himself about such a use of broken pot.\nTentacles curles around stones, and stick protruding from the earth.\nThere sat our octopus till moon has risen\nIlluminating nightly world with all its summer might.\nThis was a quite productive day. Since octoped has found a hat.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nTake a look. It is permitted\nBut please, be quiet and don't wake up the creature.\nAs for the ship...\nDon't worry, it doesn't interfere with story...<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
