The Agony and the Ecstasy

Michelangelo is trying to finish his giant David.. and he's been offered a commission of carving 12 apostles (one every year for twelve years)and in return he gets a house and studiolo. He doesn't really want to do sculpture of clothed people- he really prefers the nude male form... (I think he's still a virgin.. but he seems to get the loin-burning from a girl named Clarissa...) So he's torn: a steady job for 12 years- or do what he wants when he wants... Decisions decisions. Oh- and he's twenty-eight years old and he told his family they can't move in with him if he takes this job...

Riveting stuff for a Sunday afternoon at the University of Vermont at Fletcher Allen.. (this is rumored to be the new name of this place soon)

Yours in Blue Pajamas, Jess
