Earthbound

My generative art goal for 2023 has been to complete and release one project per month - a goal intended to be proscriptive enough to keep me focused and disciplined, and yet open enough to allow some serendipitous fits, starts, and redirections. My birthday falls in March, and this year it marked seven decades of life on this lovely rock hurtling through space. This month’s effort is dedicated to that milestone. It is a purely celebratory toast to this sensory feast we call life. The title comes from Rodney Crowell’s song of the same name, long a favorite.

“Earthbound... hear the wind through the tops of the trees
Earthbound... summer sun nearly ninety degrees
Earthbound... big ol' moon sinking down... think I might stick around
I'm earthbound”

For those of you following my work this year, you know the drill. For the first week, collectors of my previous projects may collect the token for free. At the beginning of the 2nd week, the remaining editions will be offered for sale to new collectors. At the beginning of the third week, the remaining editions will be burned.
