so its thursday

"Chicken looking at snake on the back of a hog"

its been fun talking to all the folks about the high score show, its going to be, the conversations ,
i had a real rapid conversation with Tieman this visting artist here on campus, he has been quiet controversal,
he is like , 70, heavy set , beared and has the humor of a sailor, real gutteral, but also exceptional sharp in the old ways of painting in regards to abstaction,, alot of Zen stuff, he reminded me of an aged Marlon Brano, he is sorta looked apone with contempt but i like the old guy, kinda like what a male will become if left to his bad vices, ,
one thing i like to do while i am up here is give the profs the works, except my trail boss, i like to lay it on them with post modern therorys about whats art now a days, Tieman is an adernt modernist and has a difcult time or any pations about any thing new, its alot of catch phrazes and quats about ego psychology and warning signs of represssions, very famliar. he is also from UT back in the 60's,. i find his knowlegege of what went on back then interesting if not rare, his profs and what the atomosphere was like in the early sixtys in Austin.
His work is in the minialist vien,
i woudl say i had one of the most rapideds conversations her with him cause of his awarenes to psychological issues, creative procesess, and politics( not world stuff) but even worst Art world stuff.
its all to complicated to go in here
the only useful comment i heard was from an undergrad , who basicly explained what i did as a movie,
I said Yes , thats it, !

But i am abit tapped out on everything,
i think i need to find and new obsession my old one is fadding away,
but who?
This sumer is going to be a recape on things alot of work is going to be done, the mamoth of work cause no one is here,
next up
David Elliot's painting
