Over the last two weeks I made some frames at the frame shop.
These anime or manga characters (including baby Yoda at the bottom) were drawn by a local resident’s teenage son, and he had them framed.
This fingerprint consists of biblical quotes.
This print is by Southeast Alaska’s most famous artist (possibly), Rie Muñoz of Juneau. This artwork was for sale in our store, hanging on the wall since the early 2000’s. I had actually considered it my favorite of all the Muñoz prints in the store, so I’m slightly sad to see it go – though I doubt I’d have bought it myself, at $190.
This is the frame that caused me so much grief last week. I broke the glass, and damaged the artwork (slightly). You can see the damage in the lower right – it’s a crease across the artist’s signature. I actually used an iron to try to work out the crease – but it’s still there. We gave a discount to the customer, who apparently said he appreciated our honesty with respect to the issue. I like the picture, though. It’s a bar in New Orleans, apparently where the famous poet Charles Bukowski used to hang out in the 50’s when he was in New Orleans. The painting is by a friend of the local resident here who had this frame made.
This frame is for my boss Jan. In fact, that man in the 1800’s-era photo is an ancestor of her husband, Richard’s.
This last one is a sale announcement for the month of May, made with “spare parts” lying around the frame shop and utilizing some “practice” mats I did. We’ve placed it in the front window of the store.

Caveat: Poem #1736 “Speak only to the world”
ㅁ Moods can be nebulous, days tend to blur. No one is listening, which I prefer: telling some stories to stones or to trees, even the birds as they sing to the breeze.
– a quatrain in dactylic tetrameter.
Caveat: Tree #835
This tree is a guest from the ancient past. And actually, as you can see, the tree is not the focus of the photo. But there are trees in the background, witnessing things, so I think it counts.
I don’t remember the exact date, but around Christmas of 1994, right after my having returned from 6 months in Chile, Michelle, Jeffrey and I traveled to Los Angeles from Minneapolis, to visit my father, brother and stepmother. This was one day when I think we got into my dad’s 1928 Model A Ford and drove to the beach. In the picture you can see me and Jeffrey with the car in the driveway of the house in Temple City, where my dad was living at that time, which happened to be right next door to the house that he grew up in.

Caveat: 모든 걸 보여줄게
지금 듣고있는 것.
롤링쿼츠, “블레이즈 (Blaze).”
가사.
누구도 쉽게 가질 수는 없어 너도 알잖아
그래서 더 빛이 나는 거야
Don’t look back Get over the distance
숨이 멎을 것 같던 고통의 시간들이 끝을 향해 가고 있잖아
아득히 멀어졌던 지켜온 나의 그 모든 것들이
선명하게 내 눈 앞에 보여져
두렵고 무거웠던 딴 생각은 모두 뒤로 미룬 채
앞만 보고 뛰어가면 돼
We just do it 분명해 want it
완전 해진 확신을 느껴
Keep on going 그냥 지켜봐
이뤄내지 못할 건 없어
본 적 없는 Fantasy 모든 걸 보여줄게
똑바로 봐둬 Now It’s time to blaze
Take my hand I will never forget you
점점 뜨거워져 높게 날아올라
항상 네 곁을 비출게
끝없이 원했었던 믿을 수 없는 이 모든 것들이
선명하게 내 눈 앞에 펼쳐져
두렵고 무거웠던 딴 생각은 모두 뒤로 미룬 채
앞만 보고 뛰어가면 돼
We just do it 분명해 want it
완전 해진 확신을 느껴
Keep on going 그냥 지켜봐
이뤄내지 못할 건 없어
Eyes on me x 3 , Higher up x 3
We just do it 분명해 want it
완전 해진 확신을 느껴
Keep on going 그냥 지켜봐
이뤄내지 못할 건 없어

ㅁ The hummingbirds make a hum, a whirring, a red flashing, a black thrum, here they come.
