re: upcoming art show.

hello lovers,

how are you? i hope you are well. i mean it. like, super well. awesome in fact. haha.

i am, there's all sorts of chaos around us, it's epic, but all we can do is soldier on, keep moving forward, because what's the alternative? thumbs receding, eye's closening, teeth getting longer, hunches in our backs!?!?! hahaha.

so, i've been listening to the new "Queens of the Stone Age," quite a lot and really dig it.

why?

because, it's fresh and new, and unlike a lot of the shit out there these days, but how long have we been saying that? forever. probably since mozart, beetlejuice and rammstein.

anyways, it's a great, dark, brooding, sexy at times album.

i read interviews or some shit like that where the ginger-haired singer Josh Homme (french for "dude." how perfect?) said most of it was written after he flatlined on the old operating table for a knee operation. sounds serious and whack!? and overkill.

now, i'm not a doctor, but that should/could have been local anesthesia? or like played by the spirit of cliff burton?

haha, kidding. poor taste joke for a musician i love. cliff burton. not josh "man."

cha-ch.

well, back to the review. great album. dark as fuck. but has some great shagging moments. as every Queens of the Stone Age album should.

shagworthy vote? 7.5 out of 12.

why 12? coz fuck you that's why.

ass.

re: happy fcuking valentines.....

hello lovers,

and a fine how do you do, and happy valentines to you toooooooooooooo?!?!?!!!!!!!

there are many funderful things happening in the jesus coyote bose world and they are a secret.

or secretion. i'm not sure.

probably both.

in the meantime, i've realized it's valentines, i made some art, and am reading my david choe book i ordered two weeks ago, but saw this past friday when i was in vancity.

it's dope. we've got a lot in common. living life hard, making art every day, non-stop traveling, touring, workshops, mayhem, insanity, and pushing it and everyone around you to their absolute limits. unfortunately, some cave and are usspays, which is fine, better to weed out the weak than let them bring down the hungry.

sure, i've had "growing pains" the past couple years adjusting to the unbelievable freedom of being a 'professional artist,' but who wouldn't once you are allowed, able and ready to cast off the shackles thrust upon all of us once we reach the "allowable and legal working age," in our society? you would too.

anyways, life is good, it's always good, even when it's not. better being alive then dead.

and in that spirit, here's some valentines day art for you.

funny thing is, Rasputin looks an awful lot like my buddy AEM.......

it shall remain a secret.

until next time lovers, beware!


cb

and a personal valentine from me to you, and your special "someone"

hah!
