One of the themes that I brought with me to Monhegan was "A Snowball's Chance in Hell". I came up with this theme rather arbitrarily, getting the idea a while back when I had thought that I might have an opportunity to explore screen printing in depth or trade art for the use of a screen printing facility along with an experienced printer's skills. I liked the feeling and reaction you got when you just said those words...it is kind of humorous and fatalistic at the same time and I sensed that depicting a snowball in hell might be a cool way of exploring using the white of the paper while somehow building up riotous colors around it. Anyway, this print started out as a morning sketch after a night of thunderstorms. I just happened to open up a "B" encyclopedia and came around to "Bowling" and, well it did not turn out exactly as I had preconceived it, but it was essentially a start on the road to hell! P.S. I forgot to even block out the snowball, so I had to use white ink!!!
