Art Show

The opening happened a few days ago:  the show is up through Feb. 11th.

"The Collins Cure"

The milk goes down smoothly,
   A Phillip Milk of smooth lyrical content.
Managed solely for my palate,
available on cassette
     and compact disc.
I clearly love the thin sound of vocal clarity
    as well as the crisp beats like a tribe.
I am going to manage my day
according to its dictates
and collapse into a mealy mush
of gravelly riverbed madness.
Gladly blathering all the way,
Visibly touching the firmament,
and swirling amid the gray.

"The Red Rocker"

A sullen Sammy Hagar,
   Haggard.
Floating in crimson flags of eagles flying.
Big Red lightning of sockets glowing.
Murderous chords projected from
   ancient ideas.
Eagles flew previous,
But presently they glorybound fracture
The malignant orb of despondency.
Flags fly full.

Art opening in Portland, OR! Nov 4th, 6-9pm

Yes, I'm doing an art show up there in Portland with my artist friend Allison Dewilde.  It should be X-cellent.  It'll be up from Nov 1 through the end of the month, EXCEPT, that I'll be taking my part down on the 14th as I'll be leaving town and will need to transport.

A little more than a year ago (July 2nd, 2010), I posted something on this "blog" which pondered the future of my artistic self--specifically from exactly a year after I wrote it.  Well, the date of July 2nd, 2011 has come and gone without me having taken note--mostly because I've been quite busy in my actual life (as opposed to my computerized life).  I won't go into too much detail, (but egads!  That's a year already?!  Time flies when you get older).  I will just say that I now live in lovely  Durango, Colorado, where I moved to Portland from in October of 2004.  Boulder was a decidedly bad place for me to live--but more importantly, Durango has turned out to be pretty good.  I just moved into a new space where I have plenty of room and few distractions, and the New Horizons are glowing off in the near distance.  That is, sometimes life takes one in unexpected directions, and my move to Durango has been a rather serendipitous thing.  Not much about specific art and techniques in this blog post... maybe some posts in future editions.
