i guess i'm pretty unpopular, always have been, maybe because i live in a van, with three kids two dogs and a dead mouse, the van is haunted by some thing i picked up while surfing one fall day last year i saw this large dark thing swim up to me with a white skull head, so i paddled away from it, but the next night it was in the van with me, i kept jumping awake and grabbing my knife and then it stayed, i hope i can keep writing here with no one else joining me, that would be a hoot as the old ladies say.

when i was little, i used to sit in my room and paint, but i could draw what i saw, so i stopped, and then i decided i didn't need to talk, so i stopped for ten years, but don't worry i still brushed my teeth, ha.

When I was a kid I dreamt of living in a fairy tale. So when I grew up I became a gypsy and a witch and am working on growing my hair to be the length of Rapunzel's. Now all I need is a remotely located tower and a minion. Forget the prince.

the title little art refers to all the art i have created over the passed eight years, i had at one time painted 1200 four inch square oil paintings, showed them all together at four differnt locations around the country and sold them all off,mostly. now i paint in my kitchen, couch and van, when everyone is passed out, dead or asleep.

cape may is just north of deleware, and lewes and henelope, where i surf some in the fall, and that is one sweet wave don't let anyone see it, you'll have people parked on the lawns on the porchs everywhere.
i love delaware, no sales tax very tiny property tax,lots of chickens, the ocean is so wonderful, i may retire to delaware, i keep meaning to take that ferry they have, but never do. it crosses the delaware river which is the color of coffee, with a splash of milk, in the mornings when i paddle out for dawn patrol, the dophins swim near me with their little babys, and jump around, while i get stung by jellifish, and the water makes me a little sick from the river run off. have fun, out.

so yesterday i called boat girl to see how the frenchies were, and she asked if i was coming to her birthday party and i said, i hadn't been invited, so she screams to her husband, did you invite mtocto to my party and he screams back,i don't have his e-mail, and yes you do i say, i e-mail you guys all the time, so if i hadn't called i wouldn't have been invited which i think means, i wasn't invited right, am i wrong. which just goes to show you that your own generation will always let you down and will always suck.
in my new life after back surgery, my new friends will all be super models who always call, just to say hi, come over for tea, i made cookies, how are you?

the whole zoo thing has been very exciting, people are really funny about the animals, pets and cats, what the heck, i can't take anything serious, nothing, maybe thats why this broken back hasn't really depressed me much, i get to sit home and paint now more than ever in my life, but what will i do when i have to get back to the real world, oh, if only i could stay home like this, well not like this, maybe more surf time, and swimming, more van living and camping, more chess and tree climbing maybe being able to hold the baby, but crap, we don't make cuddly kids, never have been huggy, they like adventure and the ocean.

three days until my surgery, can't wait, hope it all goes well, i have to be back in surfy shape by july 11 and toby's wedding and i'll be able to squeeze into a bikini.
drove the van to Henry's house, stalled eight times on the way, turned around and went home, then it runs great, so i visit Henry and runs great all the way there and home, twenty blocks total, i love my van, maybe the roof racks tomorrow?
no painting today, tonight perhaps, i have new found love for water colors, who knew they were so fun. maybe i'll never go back to work again, i'll just twitter about myself and all the dull things that constitute my life, uh, i drew a picture-ah- i painted a bear with arrows in it's back, maybe i need to work more.

and have been swimming about an hour a day- getting stronger, i'm going to get in the ring and ultimate fight a real life gorilla-
screw art
lets fight

no body buys art
art is for snobs
art is for people who ate dinner
people who can't draw-
art is for museums to stick in basements

maybe art really is the size of this laptop- and all it needs is one quick glance-

today a man who bought a large painting of mine 4 x 4 feet square e-mailed me with a photo of the painting still hanging over his bed, fifteen years later- crap that means i'm like a hundred

seashell thank you, at least you care and look at my shop,
i started a spare shop over at artfire, as a back up
fathers day was very mellow, the kids all slept in, while i went for a hike at the beach, watched the waves and played stick with the dogs, so good to be back in the water again after 8 months, toby and i surfed a bit and man it was beautiful, made coffee, played ball, ate campfire hot dogs on sticks, slept in tents, with four people, watched the stars, drank tea and loved every second

i know- i try to keep the hardcore side a little buried-
i grew up in the ghetto,, my dad was a hoodlum-
all my friends are dead- i am actually working on Etsy from my prison cell
buy some art- now-
that would actually be kinda cute if i painted these little paintings from jail- covered with face tats, scars,in orange jumpsuits with a tiny paint brush

i'm going to the lake for a swim- with the boys- a canoe trip to find some beaver dams, frogs and turtles then the rock climbing wall

can't do that in jail thou
