violence can be beautiful in the right context
saw sin city tonight and was immersed in it
but it felt right in comic form, stylized
pushed to the extreme, the ridiculous
where one can appreciate the beauty in a brutal act
i was kind of bowled over…and I loved it.
is a mental sock to the jaw!
i am still on the unwind after a hectic night at work
i was there much later than i wanted to be
and no amount of leftover shrimp & broccoli could help it
but dan welcomed me home with sushi, pickles & love
now i am translating an installation idea
into normal-people speak,
with horrid measurements & such…
trying to unvague my ideas
yesterday i helped mom scrape the last bits of
leftover tape and unidentified gunk off the walls
of my old bedroom…sticky remnants of adolescence
but i am honored to pass the room on
for the sake of my mom gettin’ her art on!
