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.

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.
