Ray Johnson -
"The
most well-known unknown American artist"
Ray Johnson was born on October 16, 1927 in
Detroit, Michigan. If you want more information, all you have
to do is Google.
"How to Draw a Bunny" is a documentary film about the life and
times of the late artist Ray Johnson. I only mention Ray
Johnson today because Easter is only a day away and some Americans
have an eerie (and sometimes scary) interest in rabbit symbols on
this holiday.
The following images are available on several web
sites, so I'm not sure who really owns the images. Clearly, I
am not trying to profit from Ray Johnson's art. Besides, Ray
Johnson (the man who created the images) is dead and it's unlikely
he will return to hire lawyers and sue me. I guess it's
possible that some of his kin will haunt me with threats of legal
action. If that happens I will simply draw reasonable
facsimiles of the images, scan them, and post them to the web site.

Ray Johnson.

Q: But given what's transpired in the last days
and weeks in Iraq, aren't you in a -- aren't you
having a more difficult time making the case that
things are going well in Iraq?
SEC. RUMSFELD: Things are -- we're trying to explain how
things are going, and they are going as they are going. And we're
here pointing out what's taking place in the country. Some things
are going well and some things obviously are not going well. And
you have -- you're going to have good days and bad days, as we've
said from the outset. And this is a moment in Iraq's path
towards a democratic and a free system. And it is one moment,
and there will be other moments. And
there will be good moments and there will be less
good moments.
