night mare

[jimboloco]

We drank wine laced with lsd sunshine and saw the moonlight
shining on the muscles of a great black mare
standing by an arroyo. It's the synchronicity of the hour.
It's the secret of the golden flower. A secret:
(the difference between the unnameable and the all
is just a name).... a name for the unnameable....
"Unumbotte, we should have sent them gardening tools."
Unumbotte gave them seed of all kinds and said,
"Go plant them." A universal pattern of creation stories.
"om mani padme hum""om mani padme hum""om mani padme mm"

The mare and the arroyo.....The mare was from the sea.
The arroyo was the empty cup waiting to be filled.
Mare, the sea. Terrassa, the earth. Marea. Terrezza.
Maria, Teresa. Ancient names from ancient voices.
They sent me to new visions.

(from "cerrillos" a vietnam memorial day poem oddessy)

"Trakl had too much imagination. For this reason he couldn't stand war, which arises above all from a monstrous lack of imagination. "1 --Franz Kafka

what if we had sent them gardening tools instead of bombs.....?

Yeah I slammed out my complete portfolio from the sad days long ago. I have one more to go, to scan it also, New York City nite skyline scape, in black ink I think. Will go tomorrow.

There's something to be said for survival.
A revival of survival.

is slow.

I can't wait to see it. I'm sure it'll live up to this one. And if not, I can always behead you and sell your severed parts to a satanist on Ebay. *wink*

P.S, maybe I should go to the hospital... all this winking could be a sign of Torrette's.

that's an incredible picture. It brought a tear to my eye it's so good. really!

Very fucking impressive. But now I just feel jelous of your blatant talent. Is this just done with pencil or charcoal?

Christ on a stick!

I don't know what I like best; the moon, the stars, the fence, the horse...they all look like they have their own ethereal pulse. earthy and within the stars all at the same time.

I love this. thanks for posting it.

I know! doesn't it just drown you in stupified mediocrity? don't you feel utterly inferior, or at least pretty pissed at the one who made ya for gipping you on the artistic talent and giving it all to jimbo here? the bastard. heh.

You guys, really.
First I had to fail a lot.
I mean I was a miserable fuckup.
Years of dread.

I used a ball pointpen and a xerox machine.
plus it was a remembered vision of my first acid trip.
a reward for refusing duty in the air farce.
i woulda made captain
instead i lost everything
became a bum.
the vision was my reward.

as far as talent goes, lemme tell ya
a ain't a slick draughtsman.
i made thousands of drawings.
most of them trash scrawls throwwn away.

when i get my dig camera i will post a few of my lousy drawings so's ya can see fer yerself.
i am a nurse, not a pro artist.

i learned to draw by the old method, some copies and
i took beginning life drawing over and over and
never advanced beyond that level.

so it goes.
i am the goose that lays a golden egg now and again.

rest of the time
advancing my psyche towards
a more wholesome disposition.

bennie is good to know ya!
an sweet chicago girl too.

[izeveryboyin]
