Illustrators
Notes: Game on...on the radio...Angels and Royals...bottom of sixth...Angels 4-1...found the 'road' that ends at the ocean, looking out to the sunset track...see previous post...an illustration...

Geoglyphs that modified the landscape are still visible, delineating a path to where the sun sets on the summer solstice.

Royals made out....to top of seventh...Illustrators do a really cool thing...they work like the ancients did, more as artisans than artists....for sometime that difference!...this to say, they try to stay faithful to what the archaeologists have found...so an exactness...kind of like the illustrations on the boxes of plastic ship models, and such...every detail is sourced...having said that, one wonders if Diego Rivera, the artist, turned artisan, and kept to the archaeological record in his murals...but in this painting of El Tajin he is exact with the step frets going up on either side of the stair case!

I've given the step fret a bit of an emphasis!...viewers commonly I imagine see it as a decoration...El Tajin is in Mexico...Bour hits into DP...

two posts back, I went on about the canopy...here it is illustrated, maybe true to what it was...seems more likely to me the poles were more robust, and the roof a woven mat...but, I dunno...the other motifs are in the ballpark...

another take on the canopy...and the motifs...motifs to include the activities...Trout up...Calhoun on first, I think...and, a DP...Angels make out...to bottom of eighth...Angels 4-2...top of ninth...rain falling...and, and as I've noted before, gamers are the best illustrators!...was looking, and found a page...

that illustration is the badminton like game...which has been re-created from Moche illustrations on their pottery, who were faithful in their depiction of it...in previous post...which is what they do with everything...they are exact as the gamers!...which has given archaeologist clues to what they have been digging up...note the chacanas, the step motifs, on the tunic in foreground...just like the ones on entry at Saint Catheryn's Monastery, Sinai, Egypt..that post about four or five back...a long reach of course, but there it is to see...illustration page a must see and read...it's a comment thread like a comment thread can be!...oh...Bour hit a three run home run...Angels 7-2, or some such...Bour can poke his nose out of the dog house, a bit...Royals up bottom of ninth...lead off hit...it is raining too much...like asking Royals to roll over...bloop hit...figure left back has step frets on skirt...many of the 'usual' motifs are here and there...and the canopy is in top right corner...two out...down to last strike...passed ball...runner coming home called out...obvious obstruction...and...on the appeal...yep...safe...Angels 7-3...oh...batter continues with 3-2 count...oh, Angels lost yesterday, won the day before...neglected updates...W...runners at the corners...1-1...1-2...2-2...ground out...that wraps it up...put a halo over this one!
