        I illustrated <FONT color="#999999"><FONT color="#cccc00">Gravity's Rainbow</FONT>-- 
        nobody asked me to, but I did it anyway. Most of the pictures are drawings-- 
        ink on whatever paper was lying around, but there are also paintings (acrylic), 
        photos I took, and experimental photographic processes. I tried to illustrate 
        the passages as literally as possible-- if the book says there was a green 
        Spitfire, I drew a green Spitfire. Mostly, I tried to make a series of 
        pictures as dense, intricate, and rich as the prose in the book. The entire 
        project was shown in the Whitney Museum's 2004 Biennial Exhibition of 
        Contemporary Art and is now in the permanent collection of the Walker 
        Art Center in Minneapolis.</FONT></FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/title.htm"><P align="right"><FONT size="+2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#00ccff"><A href="http://www.themodernword.com/pynchon/zak_smith/page%20index.htm">Illustration
