Nice to hear a bit about thee savage pencil. Only was really familiar with the wire mag stuff and felt a kinship with his work. It makes more sense when I see his Machen, AOS, etc influence. Machen was and is a favorite writer of mine. And automatic drawing as spearheaded by AOS was influential to me when I stumbled on his work as a teen (I didn’t realize what I was doing had a name — although I am in no ways comparing my work to his). I’m sure I’m missing a vital piece as a Midwestern American. But something of the English weird continues to make a mark on me. Thanks for the writing.
