April 2004 Archives

well, i am planing on getting a cable out to the studio and solve this problem of not posting, the computer works finnaly,
humm i went over to brenham for a couple of days , and are rotating something like 20 paintings in this set, lokks real good, the work, its like raiations of swamps and creek seens , expressive, i have photos of this weeks activitys, humm,
comming back here, in San marc this house takes on a particluarly pungnet smell its, humid and we are expecting some thunderstorm,
one thing that i thought about on the drive over here, is,
"you really don't know your own history" i think personal history or history in gereral, is all subjective, , as for your own, what may be import to you, may just pass with you and the memory of your life, may have statement or moral, that you might not ever know??? if there is any
i guess being an artist history is spoke through your work, its whats left behind,

i kept having these fanticys of swiming out in stagnet pond in the big thicket, drunk and comming to shore in my little tent and easle, spitting out a whipped painting of water mud and snakes,.

well, its a dark sunday here,
overcast, looking at videos, wandering what could have been,

my computer is almost ready, i think, i am headed over to Brenham to paint some more, i got in this large roll of canvas. I also visted Drek over in San Antonio, it was fun meet these two guys from "the good bad art colective" out of Denton Tx, we wrapped for hours about wierd cultural trivia.

The coffee show was good even sold a couple of things,
i ll be back soon!

well, April is comming to a close, and i am still waiting on my computer to be repaired,
we played a funny joke on Creazy Mat, i found a fake camra and put it in his shed, mats basicly going squitziod as we can figure, but he can appear totally sain, but he starts rambling these paranod obsessions about the place or the town being bugged, . he found the camra and started busting out laughing when he realised it was fake, he isn't laughing as much as he used to, i keep telling him to start making art about these delusions of his, and explain them as facts of this case why the town is bugged like display models for a lawery proving there is a conspirecy about this place,. its funny listing to him.
I also drove around Wimberly last weekend , around this place Jakkobs Well, i could see a whole body of work based around tree trunks viens and shadows.
The hill country has a particular look to it, clean, airy.
i will post photos soon!!!!

stil cann't post photos, maybe next week, when this computer gets repaired

i guess while i was cutting the dear meat down, and let me tell ya it was goood, we got hold of some premoe stuff, but i love to cut the meat down into sandwitch slices. it reminded me, back when i worked at Albertsons back in 97 the last job i had, where i had to get dressed up, and now that i think about it, Drek worked with me, it payed 10 bucks an hour, we were night crew restocking the shelves, it was tuff work, like eight hours of nonstop aurobic exersizes drek lasted a week on the job and threw his back out cause of all the bending over.
After a while at the job i switched over to the deli, and worked behind the counter cutting sandwhitch meat, and dealing with the snotty rich custemers, i don't deal good with the public in these kinda jobs, the place was somewhere in Austin real rich. My Deli boss was a way serious bitch, big tall kicker woman, in her late fourtys and needed to go to anger management,
I used to do grocery in highschool , its the only job i every had except carpentery and house painting. the world of ther grocery store is kinda like junior high very political and they work you to death then your outta here, i worked in stores that didn't have "union concept" being back there emerced inthe tight atmoshere...
but i rember once teking something like a dozen of these boxs of chickens, that we deep fried, an breading them, the color of raw chicken is amzing, i had the birds all layed out on a trays with their little bodies all in a row, and sat in amzement, now this is an abstract chicken painting!

me and crazy Matt broke out the brinkman smoker, Matts got all this free chicken from the food bank and we cleaned this bad boy up and let her rip!. i also put on a whole ton of dear parts handed over to me from some guys frezer in there, is dear meat good after two years? i don't know i wil smoke and season the shit out of it to find out. Matts been struggling to get a job, but i would say he has been behaving himself and every thing is cool.
and i am offering this CD-rom of 32 paintings called Chappel hill and Marathon collections,bio,res etc nicely done up, it will be complete next week, so if any body wants one the cost is 5 dallars, shoot me your address,
