"Buster the ting that eats things"
"the thing that makes things"
ever so often i find these bits,
be back later
i am getting prettyburned out on this project, need to shelve it , and reactivate it,
dealing with those chicken bones has left me with this wierd taste in my mouth i think its the hot glue burning old dryed chicken fleash, ,melted together, , it has this residual flavor to it
by tommoror this thing will have some factsimuly of being done,
i feel like Rommel constructin fortarace Europia,
"We need more mines and wire! like millions!"
I think its like this with every project, i get just about there and quit, turn it awound and shelve it for another day, but when that day comes, i am relaxed to know how to stop it or make it complete, the final act of sumerising the whole thing, its nessary componetes,
This is the back side of the troyan castle facade, still in the works and i have two days to blow this puppy out, cutting and hotglueing consumes alot of time.,
after this project is comeplete, i got three new ones comiing up all in this same element,
what have i gotten done
its dizzing
*****
me and herald talked about women and what not
view,
check out this video,

cut back the fat,
get rid of a few things,.

Inside or basement, of the trojan facade
you know one thing, i started thinking about
and it sorta irrtated me about the whole art biznesss,
well you rember when i went and visted Dick Wray, back ohhhh in 2003, well sitting here listining to Howlin Wolf, i sorta thought about, Johnnie Swearingin, or the Rev. , i ended up scoring a video from this guy , probly the only video on Swearingin ,
well the point of this is that i asked Dick about Swearingin, he taught up in A&M back in the day maybe breifly, but he said he knew the guy , and bought his work , as a matter of fact all the "cool" art folks collected his work from Houston, back in the days of the 70-80, . I asked him does he have any of his stuff its worth $$$, " oh no, i threw it away, come on, it was fun" ,
hummm
one thing that also struck a cord with me , and maybe this is the sign of the times for artists who may their lot a unveristy gig, and patroning the museum and colleges as there rep, that no matter how many shows they racked up, no one gives a shit, but the profs and culture's signiciiansioutios, who care about making the Texas "art" seen.
but then there are the ledgends who are cherished by the folks , who jealiously collect them up without concerns of ther "value"$$$$$$
i guess it must have bothered Mr WrAY, ME AQUIRing about Swearigen, as to value,. Every piece this old black man made is owned , as Dick, well he sits on a ton of work, i mean a ton,!
(i own one of his peices, and i still owe you a whilrie gig , sorry for the delay,)
Swearingin made alot of work and sold it for a tenth of of the interest of one Wray paintings, and look who might be seeeking a wonton eye for one of Sweargins paintings,
maybe its the paradox of taking yourself seriously , in regards to prices and protecting your stock value,
but to a humble guy like Swearingin, anything goes.
and maybe just giving the shit aways for what ever, might be a better options than retaining a market value,
much like laminted fears or conclusions of Mr Rush's confessions after a couple of Tecates
no matter how may stacked resumes of cultureally realvents events, nothing compared to the fact that no one convents your work,
i guess its differnt stroks for differnt folks,.
and maybe, its the lay public who counts ,
for they may feel more passionatly for the artists vision, than the art "crowds" would ever, care to think about, for much long
and like the public ,
it was Wray who found a Swearingin.
