jaguar.

in the jungle i am feline

the dangerous color ANIMAL!

roaming round

in hunger state.

i am feral

come touch me. if you touch me.

I might bite

there are birds Above. in wonderful Calamity.

their noise is

bitten.

below

I'm Terrible

come fight me. if you fight me

I Will cry

a Feline !

you will quake and justice strikes.

in the jungle

i am god

the creatures touch me, like peasant flock

jazz rings through the rainbow rain

fluorescence night. fireflies encircle me

i am light

in the village am wrathlike. stealing children

i am untamed. and myself.

you will haunt your dead body

i will live forever

singsong is for the greatest titans

i am that

more.

when man is dying

i cry in lust

my hot body shaking

revulsions

maddening eyes

of blue black red green

spin in substance

hypnotic subtle take

the night is dangerous

i own the night

there is nothing

embody chaos

in the jungle


cold air lies lightly on my face

i am cold

in the winter i am warm

in the summer i am bipolar

in the time it takes me / time to even myself

i am broken

i am broken.
I'm showing some work at the Gainsburg Studio, located in downtown Las Vegas. Its a really neat place, where the woman who owns it, Sharon, is a sculptor working in stone. Heading west on Charleston, you make a left on Maine Street, then a right on Boulder, and its on the left hand side. The paintings will be up for First Friday this month.

been a while since i wore yellow

i met a teacher / friend from the past

a doctor told me, 'they keep saying it'll rain/ we stop pushing, and then it'll rain

extended ipod shuffle turns into / a / retreat to previous days

i wish for infinite energy 

i looked up and the sky was pathwork / i closed my eyes and they all moved away

observation of normal nuclear family 

observation of struggling young couple

observation of beauty

as the day dulled, the air grew more comfortable

getting used to anything

patience

being charming / charm / charisma / cool

catapult

anticipation I MAKE PLANS FOR THE FUTURE!

she is writhing / soft / captured

luxury

poverty.

 ciudad / mixed media / canvas

cathedral revised2 / mixed media / canvas



final version of cathedral. three photos to show the evolution of the work. i never really intended to have three different stages on display, however, the work sat against the wall and didn't feel complete until the final revision. the ideas all existed on the first draft, but the thought was whether more / had to be incorporated / or whether the subtlety of a blank field would suffice. in the end there was far too little definition in the beginning and / evolving over time, we have, the fully realized idea.

dream waste

effusion

dreams are color

scattered 

energy Humming in the night

like power lines

in the sky

humanity runs its fingers / through

ecstasy / exstatic 

pleasure night terrors make shimmering planes

dream waste

and washes back

parting

like waves in an ocean

mixes

all

out 

of sleeping

heads

a world

slipping. slow ly

forever

farAway 

like throbbing dream waste

clarity

unfinished

and never remembered

where dead painters

buy their

pictures.



This project is called Earth As Art. Neat images of parts of the earth. 

currently watching




what's the beast

but blackness

bassSounds / make / noise

in the 

darkness

the utterThump 

makes the

floor

Shake

what's

motion

but

fear

nature

is the Monster

we

are

running children

morning lie.

they come one after / another / in half hour intervals.

the first is middle oldest:

ac
trash
breakfast 
middle day affairs

the second is youngest

LOUD!

the third is oldest

has: concern.

each has Love. For Me. Hope. For Selves. 

in the tumultuous ticking pass I lie morning lie and wait

for it to die
it was awful

in the still silence of 4 in the morning

listening to the hum of my fan

the myspace page loaded

and the musicBLAST! 

was loud for:

approximately 3 seconds before i could (mute).

some items of interest

Two drawings my sister gave me. She brought them back from her travels in Paris


She also brought me a bottle of absinthe from Spain


This book is awesome. A Little White Shadow. The author / she took an obscure 19th century text and whited out the lines keeping only a few words on each page / to make these beautiful simple / variating / style poems.





i string myself along
