re: new poems

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

here is a new poem, i've begun working on a new series of writing that i may or may not publish some time down the road as a book. we'll see what happens. it is funnier poetry i think, mainly because i feel better and at peace with things in my life. or trying to at least, understand things in life and cosmos and to just let them be instead of trying to control them or be frustrated by them.

anyhow, here's a new poem for your consideration:

The party is over:

It hurts where I used to play

I’ve become invisible

To women of a variety

Of ages

As I let myself go

Here and there

Spilling out of my shirt

And sides

My orgasm sounds have become

My pissing sounds

Whereas a few years ago

I was enjoying the field

Now I enjoy watching

Marathon episodes

Of new comedies or

Action thriller series

I no longer think

About relationships

Or maybe “this one will work”

Or anything like that

I don’t want to share my time

With anyone anymore

Time is precious

I don’t want to learn to deal

with idiosyncrasies

Or live with anyone

Or listen to their bullshit

Or neurosis

No I’m content to putter

About my home

Make art

Play guitar

And parent my children

As I prepare

To enter the third quarter of my life

I’m cool with it.

re: new digital works............

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

i'm watching season 2 of the HBO series "Deadwood," and it's pretty damn good. i picked up season 2 for $8 at value village and the 3rd Herman Treasury by Jim Unger, which is hilarious for $2. finally a decent score there. I love Ian McShanes character "Al Swearingen," because i'm a lot like that, haha.

I made some new digital art, first one in a long time, and i'm happy with it. but i'll be pushing the boundaries a lot more, but i had to go on familiar territory until i get my skills back up.

check it out,

all is well lovers,

see you soon,

re: time and painting.

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

hope all is well, as usual i've been busy doing workshops and work on new art and stuff, even started writing some new poems which i'll include post haste. 

been painting up my mum's house, she has been letting me paint what i want. 

check it out.

 

i used mainly acrylic house paint, which took longer, but it's a big improvement as i reckon the last time the house had a coat a paint was 20 years ago or longer. i used 3 in brushes and rollers for most of it. i used 2 cans of black acrylic aerosol for the black outlines of the octopus creature and the sparrow type bird as well i used aerosol. the rest i used a couple gallons of outdoor acrylic. it's non-toxic and easy to clean up. anyway, this is what i did for a couple weeks recently, still lots more to do. these paintings took time, the octopus took about 8 hours and i had to start painting at 6 am to beat the heat. aerosol is faster, but more expensive. i can of it is about $8 to $10 while a gallon of acrylic latex can be had for free or as cheap as $5 and covers a lot more wall. well, there you have it.....

until next time,

cb
