take me for a walk- and i'll talk your ear off-

who's running to the store for icecream- or whipping up some cream

you know i was wondering what happened to the giant jewlery myself-
some friends asked about it too-
so i showed them and they laughed at me-
you can kind of tell that my mind has been elsewhere, huh ?
i've been trying to rent this storefront- to open a pie shop- and it has been a huge hassle- very cheap though- just a pain, with the city- the landlord-the money- which is 0
plus vacation with the kids- a trip to Santa Cruz and looking for a job-
after a 5 month injury and PT recovery-
anyway Hi-
and the giant jewelry gear will be forthcoming in October perhaps.
oh, yeah, i also have a little show in september at a friends space/coffee shop, postcards- or maybe photography-
who knows which direction to point their nose ?

Maybe you should take some of the house before they level it.
When little bungalows here get torn down they are replaced with over prices monster condos that face the ocean. Every year it gets harder and harder to see the beach. The islands are so overdeveloped, they just may sink,lol....1/2 kidding.....

Great work, but it's just not my style. Sorry. If you sell in real life,that's great! Much harder to sell online, can't see the true colors, form, etc.
Hang in there...

i'd rather give art away than grovel and try to promote is all
it seems so endless and pointless
and not very fair to the art itself

yeah- i'm off to go hiking this morning and wait for news about my pie shop
does pie count as an art ?

my newest theory states
that if you put the word art into any heading or title
nobody will even think of looking at it-
is there so much bad art out in the world that everyone walks away ?

mountoctopus says:
you know i was wondering what happened to the giant jewlery myself-
some friends asked about it too-
so i showed them and they laughed at me-
you can kind of tell that my mind has been elsewhere, huh ?
i've been trying to rent this storefront- to open a pie shop- and it has been a huge hassle- very cheap though- just a pain, with the city- the landlord-the money- which is 0
plus vacation with the kids- a trip to Santa Cruz and looking for a job-
after a 5 month injury and PT recovery-
anyway Hi-
and the giant jewelry gear will be forthcoming in October perhaps.
oh, yeah, i also have a little show in september at a friends space/coffee shop, postcards- or maybe photography-
who knows which direction to point their nose ?

two days ago my friend Houng came over and installed a slack line on our front yard and now we are all trying to tight rope walk every day-
so addictive and so much fun-
highly recommended
great exercise- great for your head-
have been painting these really large, very detailed paintings for the past week
gold leaf- and lots of blood-
i don't think i can show them anywhere at all too gross
but very pretty cartoon colors-

Did you find any pictures?
Maybe you should take some of the house before they level it.
When little bungalows here get torn down they are replaced with over prices monster condos that face the ocean. Every year it gets harder and harder to see the beach. The islands are so overdeveloped, they just may sink,lol....1/2 kidding.....

i did take photos but the house was untouched since 41- didn't find the family pictures either- will go back in later- my blog has photos and the life story-
and yeah, here too- his house is going to be 4 town homes
when they finish i'm going to build monolithic concrete glass and reflective windowed urban loft apartments where my house once had been- can't wait-

i found the keys to the pie shop and went over and walked around and man, it has a really great feel
if and it's a little if, the city lets me have a pie shop-
i will be in heaven- the shop is mine- and i can remain living in a tiny make believe world-one block wide and full of gender neutral pie hustlers tea sippers and slack line walkers
on a side note- my next show august 31 at fuel here in seattle is going to be tiny photography- real film-photography- very small dense squished b/w
thanx- enjoy the day-

this winter i may buy or make some huge seven x seven foot paintings again
now that my back is better and i can walk my eye sight is failing- i better hurry
but nobody really has anything to say artistically -

Peeked at your blog and love it. The banner wave black and white is really nice, and so are all the pictures that follow. Is that Mr.Williams family and his pictures that you found in the house they tore down next door? All those memories, such a shame nobody claimed them. You do nice work and the art framed in the shop looks great, looks like a great place to have coffee and a cigerette . . . . . ( and your kids are super cute :)
