Tuesday Edition: Rachell Sumpter
8"x10" ($20) | 11"x14" ($50) | 16"x20" ($200)
Back-to-work Tuesday greetings my collector friends! It's unseasonably but appreciably warm and clear round these parts. This fair weather's put me in a grand mood though I'm sorry to say that rain will surely plague my next stop: San Francisco. Before I'm bound for monsoons aboard a cross-country flight, I'd like to introduce you to Rachell Sumpter and her new print, Gauntlet.
Some of you who are not so new to 20x200 may know Ms. Sumpter from her previous (and nearly sold out!) editions, Grande Finale and Cave Dwellers. Or perhaps, you recognize her work from the cover of Dave Eggers' The Wild Things. The creatures from The Wild Things and these sailboats are appropriate subjects for Ms. Sumpter who calls an off-the-grid island home. Srsly! Off the grid! There could not be two ladies less alike than Rachell and my city-slicker self — I can't imagine a day without the internets, let alone making it a lifestyle. Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are some of the first places I turn when I am procrastinating working at 5:00 a.m. and thinking about all of the artists on my 20x200 wishlist, instead of, say, packing for my impending departure. But that's one of the great things about 20x200 — it gives us the chance to work together and find the things we do have in common, like an affection for these sunny sailboats upon a colorful, if somewhat chaotic sea.
Though I must bid you all adieu, in my wake, I'll leave you with some sparkling, select words from Lewis Carroll.
A Boat beneath a Sunny Sky by Lewis Carroll
A boat beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July —
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear —
Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream —
Lingering in the golden gleam —
Life, what is it but a dream?
