<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">well I have always been dedicated to the accidental, the happenstance, the least egregious way to make the work, and I am usually rewarded when I look at them when I wake in the morning or the afternoon when I get up. Now when I write about them, I often get mixed up in spelling things, I don't know why or how but the words all turn into some complex chalkboard, with strange equations done in hieroglyphs </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now I can often look things up on the computer and fix the spelling yet I often don't wanna do that. I want the painting to all be soaked in accident and the most amature of tools and so I don't wanna correct spelling and change the words I use. I don't want to order them, to present a shiny thing of gallery standing. At least that is how I feel a bunch of the time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So where have I been? Well, about three years ago my laptop crashed and I couldn't process any photos of my paintings. I got sick of trying to figure out my laptop so I went back to just painting. Which was actually kind of heaven. There was an ancient Chinese scholar who said the struggle between for and against is the mind's worst disease.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally I got a new computer which has taken me almost a year to figure out. But I really missed all of you. I loved the comments that you left and the discussions that would happen. That all made me really happy. So here are a couple new watercolors that I hope you'll enjoy.</span></div>

I love reading Mohammed Mrabet, Henry Miller, Gertrude Stein, and Blaise Cendrars...I simply do not think I've ever come across such brilliant writers again, writers blessed with such honesty, such self-revelations, such interesting mind-meanderings, such an abundance of love, with an understanding of art and its place in the world -a world filled with magical words, fantastic words, words dropped in the most unusual places, and conveying such a sense of wonderment...</div>

I posed for him all winter, eighty times and in the end he painted out the head, he told me he could not look at me anymore and then he left once more for Spain. It was the first time since the blue period and immediately upon returning he painted the head without having seen me again, and he gave me the picture and I was and still am satisfied with my portrait, for me, it is I and it is the only reproduction of me which is always I, for me. -G Stein</div>

I'm finally back. Man I worked on that darn book for a long time. -a long time. a new focus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a new scale. a new process. It was hard. writing is always hard. and working on that strange new scale was hard. coming up with 300 or so drawings in a month of this was hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and thinking is hard. I'm glad I'm done, or almost done. one more story. one more quote.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then I will be at peace with just the moon and me.</div>
