today is the ghost...

                                      Today is the ghost of memory,

                                      Tomorrow the ghost of today,

                                      What is truth but a different

                                      perspective of a lie,

                                      What is a lie but

                                      the ghost of a truth,

                                      We swallow big lies

                                      because we accept the little lies.

                                      Choose to see today as today

                                      instead of it as yesterdays ghost

                                      forever swallowing tomorrow.

Imagination is the question mark that keeps god sane.

The color of crazy is every color there is, plus a few more. If these words start to melt then you might need to seek professional help.

realizations with madness bring

Hippies trapped in a fashion show of exploitation. The undercurrent of a nation turns brutal when the seeds of realization sprout into madness. Indignities piled high crash in a domino effect implosion as mankind turns to find within itself the catalyst of delusion. Can a man still be a man when all concept and perception are gone? It’ll come to a point, all conversations and cultures eventually do, when one too many truths are revealed and the backbone of civilization snaps. When that happens all the kings horses and all the kings men will never put all of our minds back together again. Realizations with madness bring. Inspiration is instantaneous pure creativity while to realize something you must travel through a maze of tainted thoughts and situations. Inspiration always trumps a revelation. We need to be inspired cause only a new language can save us now.

Somewhere in the back alleys of assumption lay the discarded remnants of a bygone eras’ collective truce with reality. All bets are off and the cardinal sin is to win. This is the future and all our instincts have been lost.

Sanity is sexy and the madman sighs...

the devil lived in a 3D galaxy but only had limited interaction with the fourth and fifth dimensions

Walk softly

Walk softly indeed

When the monster gleaming

Lurks in the nearby trees

Lost Ink from the '90's

I'm posting this in honor of the blue moon. This was done in ballpoint a long time ago.

Ohleeohtoe and the dance of the Dreamtini, fabled effigy of a rhythm immortal. We’re eating the aroma of the night. Next stop breakfast town. 

cannibalized creative process endured

                                          This is actually a close up photo of the cardboard
                                          that I have on my work table. It is the result of paint
                                          used on many different paintings.

                                    A dream actually told me how to paint this one.

The only difference between the monk and the madman is that crazy people live with it and the enlightened live for it. Either way it’s the same.

The truth is no truth and something but the truth.

Charlie Browns Nightmare

blooming ink

Somewhere in a town named Rancidville USA all the midwests gloom shimmers in the shadow of a factory. A monolith of rust and industrial retardation, cemetery of a paycheck lost on booze and gasoline. Here is a smog clogged lung gasping for redemption at the end of a cigarette butt. Here is the hope that will crawl up out of the dust.
