Beth's Writings
...about things that are personal. I don't know how to write about things that aren't important to me. I enjoy writing about what I draw, too. (Writing and drawing are inextricably linked, for me.)Scroll to the bottom for some essays/articles I've finally put up here. Thanks for reading them!
You won't find this fancy number in your typical shoe store. It's a shoe used by a diver wearing the Mark V suit- you know, the one you saw in "Men of Honor". Didn't see it? That's okay, I'll be drawing some of that equipment, and putting it up on my site in the near future, I hope. I find all of it to be beautifully complex, and fun to draw. (Even more fun is watching people suit up, and walk in these things, before and after diving.)
I don't know how anyone can grow up in Coney Island without having a fascination--rather obsession--with the place. Some people I know have run away from it, trying to forget they ever came from there. I'm proud to come from Coney Island. This is a drawing I did in the Coney Island Museum of an old beach chair, and one of those chairs people rode in on the boardwalk-- pushed by someone a lot stronger than I.
He's finally up here after all this time. Who? (Don't bother reading this unless you love animals.)
"Froggie"
Here's something I wrote awhile back.
"Dust, and Then Daffodils"
Here's a story about my great friend, Bruce.
"Life Secrets"
Here's something I wrote when I taught one year.
"When Angelo Really Left"
