Halloween. Pre-party post.

Is going out on Halloween as a hybrid of a character from your own painting a bit self absorbed? Yes probably. High five.

Is it full moon yet?

Found this post from tother day:

Finished painting at 5am. Wispy escaped. Screamed the house down while I tried to wash the mass of paint off. Finished one painting that I was pretty happy with. And then started two more. Then came the disaster with the gesso. But two more in the pipe line.

A captive audience requires an automatic weapon and a flagrant disregard for the law

There are so many excuses you can make for why cabbage is good. And I will not believe a single one. Think on. Been working loads. In the words of madonna "holiday".

Cubes and sun

The beauty of the world. The kindness of friends. Another two days awake painting. Finished the two paintings below. Got 9 cubes waiting to decorate. Working on my portfolio mail out materials. Going pretty good thus far. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Organ in the weary hours (2010)

Suspicion of toes (2010)

Awake all night painting again

AND I found the boat picture which got me kicked out of art class at school.

Finished two new paintings tonight/ this morning. Post them later. Made a power drink. I'll leave it until 8 and then make a proper coffee.

Today. Yesterday etc

Constructed 4 cubes from start to finish. Listened to loud music in bed in the morning sun. Cut my foot open painting. Had a good dinner. Saw a rainbow. Found a terrifying newspaper. Then found it was quite old. Thought about how to bring down pop music. Thought about how iTunes should be broken up for being a monopoly. Then the destruction of the music industry. How much I hate U2. How surprisingly making pots goes well with drum and bass. How drum and bass is only good when it's really fast and heavy and repeats. How it increases my productivity. Then I thought about if they pumped it into loud office buildings. If people would jump out the windows rather than listen to it. It's been a busy day anyway.

Talking about fajitas in a pejorative manner is tantamount to racism

I've been painting a bunch in the last 48 hours, made some cubes today also. I haven't slept in 2 days. I am quite physically tired but not in the brain. My eyes hurt. Might just lie with my eyes closed. I've got a fair amount that I want to achieve tomorrow.

I got one, you want four (2010)

Sigh

I feel pretty miserable since coming back from the woods. Things are noisy and depressing. I want to live there.

playing with a kitty

this cat can actually fly

I've quit being a painter and am now a rugged woodsman.

Muirs and I went up into the woods for a bit of manly woodsman experience. In between me banning any mention of the Blair witch project, muirs trying to bring back the word rad, and more brokeback mountain jokes that you can shake a stick at, we made an awesome fire, painted some rocks and rocked out on the guitar. Cooked raw meat on the fire. Slept for hours in warmth and comfort. Whole
Night was brilliant.

Also note, that somewhere there are a bunch of original pieces in the forest that I have created. If you can find then they are yours to own.
