Guestbook

There is no form here --- a form with nowhere to send itself is worse than no form at all. If you want to leave a mark, write to guestbook@example.invalid and I will add you by hand, the way it used to be done.

In the meantime, here is who has already signed:

found this via a webring of all places, did not expect to end up reading about a 17th-century monk's treatise on brushwork at 11pm. the "one brushstroke" chapter wrecked me a little.

back again --- the gallery has a sixth painting now? the hibiscus-and-rock one is doing something with empty paper I did not expect from someone mostly known for mountains. glad this page keeps getting redrawn instead of finished.
