re: st. paddy's day......

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

it's Saint Patrick's day today, and it's dumping snow outside. so much for a day of art outside. i'll still got, but it'll be somewhere sheltered.....fuck!

thinking back to yesterday, i was at the bus stop with my kids and these two native women, twins, started smoking crack in front of me and my kids!

i fucking lost it and tore holy hell out of them, fucking junkies! do what you do, but not in front of my kids!

they left as i tore a strip out of them. it was sad, they had sores on their faces and still dressed in matching clothes, probably like when they were kids themselves. that is residential school shit hitting back hard in the face. how many people are lost like that? it was a shitty experience all around, i felt bad for getting pissed off at them, knowing they're so fucked up, and they felt bad being fucking junkies in front of my kids. my kids were asking me a bunch of questions. it was fucking awkward.

but that was yesterday.

today, i'm watching the snow fall and wondering what the fuck and where the fuck i'm going to go do some art outside. guh, i want to move somewhere warm year round. fuck this shit.

peace and happy st. paddy's day people!

re: quick trip to penticton.....

Hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

just a quick update on my trip to Penticton and some images to go with it.


Apparently, angel babies are for sale in Penticton.

Fresh blood i photographed at a bus stop.
It was about the size of my fist that blood spot.
weird.

Also, Penticton is a hotspot for METAL!

re: new art......

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

hope all is well in your world. i'm in Penticton, British Columbia getting ready for a reading and a workshop at the enowkin centre. it has been snowing all day and the trip down here very early this morning was bumpy and snowy. i read a book by nikki sixx, yes, that nikki sixx from motley crue. it wasn't bad actually, part self-help book, part journal, part confessional and part philosophical journey, yes, i said philosophical journal about life. there were definitely some pearls of wisdom in this book, from a hard life lived and global traveler and photographer.

i look for inspiration in many different ways, and do not limit myself, at least, i try not to limit myself! haha!
so what this means is, i try to keep an open mind and since we might only have one kick at the can, if it's worth a read, i'll read it. this book was quite engaging and i read 100 pages in one day.

anyways, i'm in another hotel room and made some art today, which i'm gonna post based on what i read, and what i saw lately. penticton is an interesting town, because there's some great music stores here, mainly in the shape of pawnshops. this is something i don't get, because for such a small town, there's a hell of a lot of used gear for sale here. and after talking to one guy at a music store, three world class luthiers, one of whom doesn't sell guitars for less than $5000 and has a 5 year waiting list. or so i've been told.

it used to be that you could tell a lot about a town by the number of pawnshops and pubs/bars there were, but i think Penticton is the anomaly to that theory, as there is a large number of both in this small town. Plus several bookstores, none of which i made it to today. next time.

i'm in the hotel i always stay in, and after several years on the road i never really tire of it. i know exactly what to pack and how much to bring each trip, as well, i'm getting to have several favourite places to go in each town i go.

this is a short trip, but i'm thankful to be here, and it's a good feeling to finally be where i am in my life, and a month sober is a month sober. it's nice not waking up fucking hungover as hell, or sick, or tired, or sore. i get up early and move it, getting coffee on and planning the day. there's something warlike and arrogant to what i'm about to say, but i want to build an empire based on art/music/writing and film. life is too short, and i've outlived many, many others, survived hellish relationships, endless tours, and am still here. on the road, making art, writing books, creating films and playing music. this is despite being told i would never be able to do so, and now i want to make it bigger and better.

i hope life is as good to you. fare thee well my friends,

enjoy the art and the ride, we never know if we're gonna get it again!


cheers,

re: post number 666 the number of the beast.....

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number,
its number is Six hundred and sixty six......

i can't believe i've had this many posts, and where i've been and back since i started this blog, my life has changed for the better in so many ways. i'm doing what i want now for a living, instead of being told what to do. i've taken charge of my life and opportunities that come my way, and continue pursing the dream. whatever that means. i just want things to get better and better and travel more, make more art, music, films and write more books......so stay tuned, things will keep on keepin' on!

thanks for your support and love,


cheers,


cb

re: re-purposing ugly objects.......

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

it's snowing here in kamloops, and i've been barely doing any online art. been outside a lot, repurposing ugly old objects into new things.

here's an example:





it took 8 hours, the block had to be primed 3 x to get rid of the ugly, nazi, racist stuff from showing up underneath it. hopefully it'll last awhile before being painted ugly grey from the KGTF.

until next time lovers,
