markdown dispatch with nine supporting stillsYear
2026The garage table is full of fragments.
Comic pages cut apart. Panels rotated and recomposed. White structural beams crossing the surface like trajectories through the field.
Some pieces are finished. Some are still deciding what they are.
I’m holding them in one hand while photographing them with the other.
Glue shine catches the light. Edges remain torn and exposed. Layers stack and lean across the table.
Meanwhile I’m on the phone with my mom.
She’s reading from Bunnie XO’s new book.
She pauses on the dedication. It catches her immediately: grateful, candid, even congenial toward people who once stood on the other side of things.
Then the conversation moves into another theme: the author’s love for animals.
Rescuing them. Living with them. Protecting them.
She mentions a treatment facility connected to Jelly Roll, a place meant to help people recover and rebuild their lives.
An act of giving something back.
She says:
I love people like that. All about giving back. Doing good things in the world.
Across the table:
Captain America fragments. War panels. Soldiers mid-explosion. Speech bubbles frozen in crisis.
One bubble reads:
I CAN’T MOVE ANY FURTHER. I’M STUCK.
Paper conflict. Meanwhile the phone carries stories of repair.
Rescuing animals. Recovery work. People giving resources outward.
Then another call comes in.
My son.
Multiple requests.
Immediate things.
The dispatch ends there.
Fragments still on the table. Phone in hand.
The work paused.
Not finished.
Just waiting for the next moment to continue.
Object State
Edges visible. Layers unflattened. Mounting provisional.
These works remain in garage-state.
The archive begins here:
mid-process, mid-conversation, mid-life.
Garage Environment
The final images pull back from the table.
Shelves of books. Stacks of materials. Framed works leaning against the wall.
One image shows the framed surface reflecting the operator holding the camera.
The work and the maker occupying the same field.
The garage continues operating.
No marks yet.
