back to the studio

I am rounding up this new set, here they are in the works, i am chipping in more to them, this week, kinda places its orgins back to this show i had in 2001, at Alternate currents in Austin, called "White Trash Black Helicopeter"

i would have to say the show is going well, 'the nacho volcano deal", we shall see its results, i am real excited to start some new work on, borders and fort like structures, one funny note i discovered on ebay was the fake lonnie toliver deal, done by this artist chas walker, i thought it was halarious, to begin with. i went to this guy's blog walker something , look it up or research the name lonni tolliver, he has been using an old black guy photo to sell this work with a fake bio etc, but after reading his blog you kinda feel for this guy's desperation, and i went to check out his main site of his work, hummm minialist prim strips, but then there is this other work, lonnie,#@$%@!$%$@%

i don't think i can function in the folk art mind set much anymore, i love the stuff!, and basicly my whole folk art adventure started ohh, 2002 Floyd, the chicken painting deal isn't really folk to me as more as an expressistic creedo's march to death, but i think i have ran chicken george to the ground. the high light was getting into San Angle folk art and having stuff up there, for about a year, and getting booted out of there, but selling two pieces on the last day. it just bothers me and i am too neurotic its like a routine thats run its cource, but chicken will always be chicken.

i think if i ever go back to the folkish notion its to follow a dream of reinactments, like the Civil War reenactors, traveling the roads of the south living like a hobo, when i am older, scratching out some twisted fanticy in the back of a golden chicken fast food joint, some where private and unseen,. its living on the deilusional cuffs of your imagination , to procrastinate one more day of reality, i like that kinda stuff, i live that kinda stuff
but what makes me neurotic over the whole deal is people
hell is other people

people love to run up to you and tell you your imagination is engineered, in the folk biz,

i gueess in the long run, its better to just be annunious,
like a sniper
