wackyness abounds

i am still not able to post photos, i am basicly trying to complete two sets of work, here before the spring is over.
One idea thats been rumbling around my head is this stupid idea of a folk art adventure. Where me, Jeff B, and crazy matt set out for Atlanta folk fest and and on the way over there make work and try to get into gallerys etc, from Austin to Atlanta, it would be neet to get a old 70's style van with no windows, and be all drunk and dramatic,
The combo would work perfetly mat would laugh at every thing, jeff would toss fits and i would be the coach, of course alot of the attepts to get into gallerys it would fail cause we weren't folk enough, and i would yell at jeff making him crazy, it would be like slacker folk art, in which we weren't even good enough to be considered an outsider orfolk artist...
where do you go from there?
I rember one of my friends entered a show over at the visionary museum art fair, his work could fall into that catigory but he was rejected, i thought, rejected from the outsiders???
what the fuck? ! you must really be a reject then
one of the appeals to the van trip is about how discusting me, jeff, and matt could get , fat, pale, hairy smelly white guys out on theis desperate trip to make something out lof our lives, kinda like that movie "loser" about that kareoke singer, and Garret Morris was in it.
there is something artfull about desperation,. allowing one to be desperate or just simply sad and pathic
Making work at rest areas trying to pass it around to get gallerys
& shops, of course when it fails, we would like all freak out ,
"we're fucking pathic! come on! what the fuck you don't like this chicken painting my god its only 20 dallars"

Sounds like you should have "gotten on the bus" while the getting was good and followed the circus of artists around the country. Your little red roosters would have been a hit. Every parking lot was a folk art sale, and a long strange trip... Lots of drunk, smelly, hairy, but extremely friendly and high people. You would have fit right in. Oh! what a long strange trip it's been.
