About me

he writes, he paints, he thinks.... therefore he is.
sort of like a.... a missing link.

My work

right now i am eeeking out a small cash flow selling paintings for a pittance on the venice beach boardwalk. i also do pencil portraits for $25 each and take on any commissions i am offered. it's a hard life in the hot sun but it's a wild and wooley world out there... oh the humanity...

new poem 11/18/06 I_ArtMan
the pond is deep
deep clear water

i am quiet and still
the rocks below are far
they seem so close
it is so clear

now i am empty
and sinking

i finger the golden stones
and turn them over
but i am not strong
the stones i want are big

i am lying on the bottom
when a precious jewel is sucked
into my mouth as i breathe in deep
the deep deep water

the ruby causes my eyes to see beyond
the emerald hearing ears hear hitherto
inaudible whisperings from the formless above
i remember now where i came from

now i can wear my life as a jewel collecting animal
i am an animal harvesting pearls tasting ambrosia and nectar
wearing my life like a loose fitting garment.
