I came across this 1968-ish SOTMOFA slide in a transparent

bag before “baggies” were introduced as a “new and improved”

step forward in the trade.

I remember the drawing and my disappointment with the slide,

transferred from 8mm camera film by “professionals”.

Maybe they didn’t like the drawing and made it blurry on purpose.

As I remember, I rather liked the drawing now dwelling

with the saints in an undiscovered latitude.  

The facts of the case:

Paper:  Strathmore 400 heavyweight off white / 14”x17” (?)

Medium:  Conte crayon in various colors.

Genre:  Complete invention.

Methodology:  Haphazard, helter-skelter like the children do,

or de Kooning, or the Manson family.  

Setting of the scene: could be my place, could be her place

or in keeping with the genre of “invention”, no place at all.
