40 Harry's ... Deadlines and the Creative Process in a World Without Time … SRO#308-347

If time is fake, then deadlines must be also. Right?

And yet. Tell that to an editor.

Smooth Ray was on deadline the other day. Nothing taco-related, sadly. But as time appeared to whittle away, the studio beckoned.

Deadlines produce work, but not always the work we expect.

The studio’s call cannot be ignored, and the result was this small lino cut: 40 Harry’s. Or Harries. Harrys.

It is #afterMiro, with coloring in watercolor.

Eventually, the original (deadline) work was completed as well. The illusion of scarcity and urgency were satisfied. The lines were read, the part played.

Why is the figure named Harry? There is no reason.

A couple of these prints will go into the shop, including 1 for free.
