 the five rite live six crowns seven left handed

ink, acrylic, blood, sharpie, burned & collaged "The Interpretation of Dreams" , spit on cardboard.

i think that about sums it up.

thanks to mary for the great scan.

bike porn?

ok, maybe she's not a cinelli with an aerospoke wheelset but she's mine and she's classy. word up.

so the other day levi took some pics of my bike elza.. i'm sorry, but i really love my bike. at one point a tiny bird landed on the handlebars, but we missed that shot. dang!

002

ink, acrylic, sharpie, typed and collaged paper on cardboard

so i started a project a while back (who knows if i'll ever finish) where i was going to paint 666 works of various sizes, with the obvious theme being sin and despair and, well, evil. there's 002. ideally, after i'm done with them i'd like to have a show where only the owners of the works can go, and have a masquerade party and people will be like "hi i'm #234! who are you?" eh? it cost me 7 bucks to scan this thing.. i'm officially broke. totally worth it.

can't forget now..

so i've forgotten my friend isabelle's birthday like twice, i'm a bad friend that way i guess. to make up for it i decided to tattoo her bday on my ankle. i hope it evens things out maybe? terrible idea to do it at 5 in the morning but whatever... i gotta stay up so i can go to dshs this morning to try and get some help with my whole homeless/jobless/foodless shtick. wish me luck? btw writing upside down is not my forte, cut me some slack? damn do i hope i got the date right.

garden!

"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders." -- Henry David Thoreau

my favorite food is probably the potato.

so in this years garden, i tried this trick, where you stack up a few tires and plant potatoes in them. come harvest, kick over the stack of tires. no digging! my potatoes are kicking ass. i have garlic and butter lettuce and other random plants with wildflowers everywhere too. it's a mess but i'm ok with that. i like letting nature do it's thing. who's down for some french fries later on this year?
