If a cow jumps over the moon, why then can’t a fish fly over the sun? A treacherous act, no doubt – but such dangers are to be faced head on if one is to make something of himself, the slippery fish thought. Certainly Evel Knievel did not bow out when threatened by death. No. He faced it head on. Injuries were simply battle marks of all he had accomplished. Flying so close to the hot star could bring dire consequences – a fish fry was not out of the question.

As he peered up into the sky, longing for recognition, he determined it was worth it.

Day 58 (6/25/12): Field & Stream Page 67Goal: To create one piece of art each day for 365 consecutive days

Yesterday I pulled out an old, October 1954 issue of Field and Stream. As I flipped through the magazine, I came upon page 67. The red/orange illustrations that went along with the article were fantastic and I really wanted to incorporate them for day 58.

I started the piece by crossing out part of the text in the article – keeping at least one word per line. The result is abstracted images to accompany a relatively non-sensical article. Below is the “new” article.

When you cover the spot by making the center of your search your bird, often it takes only a smoldering fire. So shred all matches and build. For it takes a long, long time.

Water also leaves its normal tang. One probably doesn’t improve but feels better.

High in the upland, charges just as powerful deliver the plate. When you swing and let drive without being kicked under your hat.

Like life, too good a trip spots the happy days. –A store of pleasant memories.

Here’s a stringer by Albert Zanelli: Cut the toothbrush to a point. Stout around the middle – the other end a plastic pocket – will accommodate fish.
