sketch of me

Jarods Guitar

My friend Jarod let me draw all over his guitar. I felt lucky to have my doodles on the instrument of such a rock star. ..which reminds me of this Terence McKenna quote
“Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable.”
If you know the guy you might see the association there.

Caricature advertising

Here are some quick live caricatures. Maybe somebody will see this and want to give me some money for a drawing and then I can travel more!

My studio

In the late summer my brother and brother in law helped me build a studio in the woods. A lot of the materials used are recycled and reused. They are in construction so they could help with that a lot. It makes it a little more earth friendly. It will be easier to work on arts and crafts and projects before heading out to trips now. There is a sleeping loft above, it's on 4 blocks with no foundation, 2 desks and room to read and chill all for the fraction of the price one would pay for such a structure.

landscape painting

I have been spending some time here in the country visiting my family. I hike out and paint with my mother when I need a lesson.

Ishmael

Ishmael.. I don't even know if i spelled that right. who cares.
If you don't know whats wrong with society and your life or if you don't even know there is something wrong, reading anything by Daniel Quinn is a good start.
Go out and get one of his books. Read it from cover to cover. Just starting it and putting it on a shelf is not being literate. Neither is just being able to read a menu. You need to be able to read whole books, and the right ones. Not just fluff.
No go out and prove to yourself that your not another shallow vacuous moron and read and enjoy it.

Mexico!!!

It's amazing here. Everything is comfortable. Soft ground, warm water, warm temperature, I sleep and eat and hike and draw at the beach all day and night. There are natural virgin beaches. I eat fresh fruit, fish, and veggies. Life is soooo beautiful here. Here is a photo of me spinning fire.

Baba Ram Dass

Be Here Now.
This is Baba Ram Dass. He was Dr. Richard Alpert. He's the other guy who got fired from Harvard with Timothy Leary. He went to India after that and tripped with monks, gurus, and holy men and got famous when he wrote "Be Here Now". It's really good and strange story with lots of drawings in it. So check it out.
Here's a quote, but he said lots of really good stuff.

"My life is a creative act--like a painting, or a concerto"

Mexico and Central America it is!!!

Geronimo when he's old.
That's what this drawing is suppose to be. So I will spend the winter traveling and hanging out with the first americans. Adventure and lessons from shamen in the rainforest and the dessert, and more adventure in mountains and beaches. I'm excited for what mysteries I may find out and for more experiments and freedom.

......and here's a drawing of a naked girl for some reason. I guess because thats fun to draw to. And figure drawing is important practice always.

dali lama and geronimo

Time for adventure. Asia or Mexico and Central America? Buddhists and Sadhu's or Native Tribes? I'll chill here for awhile and the answers will come and then I'll go see who I need to see.
