“Danaïde” Blotter 2026 • Edition of 300 • 6.25 x 9 • Shakedown Gallery • (without border)
Perforated into 900 quarter-inch squares • Signed and Numbered
In celebration of Bicycle Day 2026, I released my newest blotter “Danaïde” through Shakedown Gallery – now I’m making it available to my friends and supporters through EQL!
I will make a limited online launch of “Danaïde” through EQL opening on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 9 am PST. The launch closes on Friday, May 29, 2026 at 9 pm PST. The ballot will be open for 36 hours. As long as you enter during this timeframe, time of entry does not impact your chances of purchase.
You are free to register once for the launch. Multiple entries per launch will be penalized. You may only win 1 blotter from the live launch within this 36 hour period. One per household.
Join the Launch, countdown, and Set a “Notify Me” Reminder:
“Danaïde” wears early spring flowers and carries her terracotta amphora decorated with the winged horse Pegasus. As Pegasus stamps the earth, so bursts a spring; as Hippocrene flows on Mt Helicon, so flows inspiration from the source of the muses.
The myth of the 50 Danaïdes, condemned for all eternity to toil, to endlessly carry water to fill a leaking vessel. Sisyphus fated to bear his heavy stone uphill, only to lose his burden near the hilltop, and to begin again.
This is our struggle for equal rights, for our democracy. To paraphrase Albert Camus: the struggle itself — to continually work to fill the leaking jar — is enough to fill her heart. One must imagine the Danaïdes happy.
