AND SOMEBODY SPOKE –
This piece was conceived in 1970, and. the castle and skull dream scenes completed nine years later. The drawing is in black India ink with neutral grey highlighting on Bristol board.
LEGEND - A rainbow streaks out of the blackness of space, illuminating a Jupiter-like planet in a mass of cloud. The text is displayed anachronistically in modified medieval Latin uncials. The eye totters for a moment at the end of the word dream, and sees that the loops of the final m change into two arching streams, which pull the eye crazily into a huge boiling cauldron hanging poised without base in the void, its belly glowing with fierce heat from no discernible source. From the cauldron roll down two rivulets of dense, amorphous vapors, which roll viscously down and billow out as if onto some unseen flat surface. The vapors are composed of some mighty primordial ether, because wherever they spread, fantastic worlds are formed.
