the station sign off

preamble

so we amble through the pre

searching for a voice

at first it just gets more and more

tangled and dark

until

 we finally find a small light

 we find one small voice

eventually

ad infinatum

it just goes on and on. ad infinitum.

there is a bunch of writing too.

too boring to photograph.

I'll try to try to take selected pictures tomorrow

just to provide a better sense of the thing.

inside and outside

these are a few pictures of the book Guthrie made and I filled.

this next one is some page in the book

and just another page at the beginning...

and this is the cover that guthrie put on it

and here she comes...it is now one massive book

and this is the back of it

the title page...

hey I'll put up some more pages next time...I can see it is hopeless.  

I'm just trying to give you a sense of it.

the summit

Oh it is definitely weird that way any painting gets made...there is never an image

 in one's mind

and then you produce it, replicate it..

Even if it is crummy, ugly or just plain stupid,

you must first

make it ugly.

get out of jail

get out of jail and be free...then one can and must face oneself, eventually.  

the jail can be anything -any addiction

any dishonesty

any ruse fabrication lies 

to oneself to others

time -ex

One strange thing that happens

when you are older

is that you feel time

passing by 

saying goodbye to you

-that was your life

drawings

the moon and me

I'm finally back.  Man I worked on that darn book for a long time.  -a long time. a new focus.

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.

and thinking is hard.  I'm glad I'm done, or almost done.  one more story.  one more quote.

then I will be at peace with just the moon and me.

the receptacle

the artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place:  from the sky,

from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape,

from a spider's web.  -picasso
