Based on a few photos I took at Medieval Times in Atlanta (see yesterday’s video post), today you get a timed pastel crayon-on-illustration board piece.

The board was just under six inches by six inches, and I gave myself twenty minutes to do it, and to be honest, it came out way better than I expected it would. Laying down the black areas with a thick magic marker first probably helped.

I used some thick, gloopy older pastel crayons to get an Impasto look, and laid it on a sheet of acetate before I scanned it, so I don’t have to do an intense wash of the scanner bed (again). There was a little color-correction afterward to offset the yellow tint I tend to get from the acetate.

Over in radioland, Monday at 2 PM on The AIR, we bring you encores of a classic episode of Psychedelic Shack, and then at 3 PM a recent edition of Herman Linte’s weekly showcase of the Progressive Rock of the past half-century, Prognosis.  You can listen to The AIR at the website, or on the embedded radio player elsewhere on this page.

Psychedelic Shack can be heard every Monday at 2 PM, with replays Tuesday at 9 AM, Wednesday at 10 PM, Friday at 1 PM,  and Saturday at 9 AM. You can hear Prognosis on The AIR Monday at 3 PM, with replays Tuesday at 7 AM, Wednesday at 8 PM, Thursday at Noon, and Saturday at 10 AM.

At 8 PM you can hear an hour of songs from the still alive Tom Lehrer on a classic episode of The Comedy Vault.

Tonight at 9 PM for the Monday Marathon we devote ten hours to the second five episodes of Sydney’s Big Electric Cat. We will be alternating between Prognosis and Sydney’s Big Electric Cat for the next several weeks, because we’re going to be pulling the early episodes of those shows from the server soon to make room for newer programs. After they’ve been offline for a year or so, we’ll bring them back into rotation but for now, you can hear them Monday evening into Tuesday morning, and then those episode will go on hiatus.
