"there is a real-enough danger, I suppose, that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and mannerisms. On the whole though, I'm very hopeful." J.D. Salinger

This print was inspired by the amazing illustrations of Mcbess and Scott C.! And thankfully, I finally got around to scanning it! This piece took forever to carve but I am happy with how it came out. It is carved into MDF and is around 40x26 inches.
❝ My real soul, Peter? It’s real only when it’s independednt-you’ve discovered that, haven’t you? It’s real only when it chooses curtains desserts-youre right about that-curtains, desserts and religions, Peter, and the shapes of buildings. But you’ve never wanted that. You wanted a mirror. People want nothing but mirrors around them. To reflect them while they’re reflecting too. You know, like the senseless infinity you get from two mirrors facing each other across a narrow passage. Usually in the more vulgar kind of hotels. Reflections of reflections and echoes of echoes. No beginning and no end. No center and no purpose. I gave you what you wanted. I became what you are, what your friends are, what most of humanity is so busy being-only without the trimmings. I didn’t go around spouting book reviews to hide my emptiness of judgment-I said i had no judgment. I didn’t borrow designs to hid my creative impotence- I created nothing. I didn’t say that equality is a noble conception and unity the chief goal of mankind- I just agreed with everybody. You call it death, Peter? That kind of death- I’ve imposed it on you and everyone around us. But you-you haven’t done that. People are comfortable with you, they like you, they enjoy your presence. You’ve spared them the blank death. Because you’ve imposed it-on yourself. ❞
