Original pencil on vellum drawing w/ text for litho run long time ago sent out as holiday cards by SBGallery

Some people posing for a picture at the holiday party at work while Wilson-Phillips is on the radio and, following very different sequences of reasoning through their different circumstances and without suspecting the same thoughts among each other, feeling remarkably similar, mild doses of melancholy generated by stronger kicks of anxiousness, mostly caused by perceptions of themselves as inadequate based on standards they can't quite wrap their thoughts around, which in turn are being brought out of dormancy by the unregistered yet pervasive expectations that are part of big holidays

Drawing-titles copied in pen over 15 yrs ago for unknown reason discovered in back pgs of bio on Habsburg Charles I of Austria

I have "The Last Habsburg" by Gordon Brook-Shepard on my shelf, I read it a few times in the last 15 yrs. I flipped through the book today and discovered that on the last page of the index & the final blank pages, I had written long ago in pen a handful of titles of my drawings, and I have no idea why. Some of the corresponding drawings are posted on the Stolperer blog, some are earlier versions of stories I rewrote for new drawings, some are in the orange book, some I'd completely forgotten about.
Anyway here's the titles:

Anthony Bourdain Finnish Project, #2

Anthony and some co-workers at the Dreadnaught looking through a vent opening watching the head chef out back behind the restaurant ramming the bride that just came into the restaurant with her wedding party on some boats from across the bay, and he’s ramming her from behind with his apron up on her back while she’s bent over some trash bin

Anthony Bourdain Finnish Project, #5

Tyrone the head chef at Dreadnaught screaming at Anthony for being a pussy and showing him all the blisters on his hand while everyone in the kitchen suddenly froze and went silent after Anthony asked if there was any hand lotion, I think or maybe oven mittens but I think it was hand lotion during a mad busy rush in the kitchen at one of his early jobs in Provincetown
