"butch" artfag/nerd!!! meaning i can look like a total nelly queen
or pull out the good old 'academic cocktail attire' if i feel like
it, which i hardly ever do, or i can play it down and just wear a
t-shirt and jeans or whatever which is usually the case... visual
artist, fourth generation californian, recovering vegetarian,
artistic/cultural
literacy is important to me, i like people who have an opinion
of their own...
ummm... not enough?
i'm a great cook, and i can cut some mean hair...
i'm funky and fun and smiley, sometimes a little too smiley...
music is the best ever, the voice of god! i love the magnetic
fields, the talkingheads, david bowie, the velvet underground and
nico, stereolab and broadcast, pram, komeda, who else?? these are
just the first ones that come to mind, i have highly varied musical
tastes...
my favourite visual artists include,
hans bellmer,
francis bacon,
donald judd,
bruce conner,
marcel
duchamp,
eva
hesse,
remedios varo,
ed kienholz,
hieronymus bosch,
paul thek,
joel-peter
witkin, et cetera...
1)seeds, everything we eat comes from them, we are seeds, seeds
even have bellybuttons just like us. i am a big fan of chickpeas,
lentils, rice, quinoa, fenugreek,
ajawain, cumin, coriander,
cardamom, yeah, i make a
mean curry, i tend to eat
macrobiotically/ayurvedically/organically...
i recently started welcoming meat back into my diet, i am kind of
picky about the meat that i do eat, i haaaate the texture of
chicken, but i love the texture of scallops, crab, lobster, shrimp,
et cetera. i don't eat alot of red meat, but i do like venison and
filet mignon...
2)i guess the twenty minutes of sunlight i get every day, i really
do try and stay out of it. the farthest south my ancestry goes is
french basque country, the rest is all northeastern european, i
burn in the sun, baaad...
3)music, and i tend to listen to the same thing over and over,
lately it's been the nancy sinatra and lee hazelwood album, my
favourite song on that disc is 'sand'...
4)
dance and
movement, it has been said that in the spiritual sky, every
word is a song and every step is a dance, this is
beautiful...
5)i love that i know where all of the fruit grows! today i picked
some
pomegranates, yay! i love my
trees...
6)i'm already at number six? if it's not obvious, i'm one of those
culty god freaks, so god i guess, but that's god in only the most
abstract sense of
what god is, everything, like the very end of
the dark side of the
moon when they're singing about all that you touch and all that
you see, it's beautiful, like the
broadcast song 'look outside', "i look
outsde and wherever i go you are there you colour in the everyday,
wherever i go"...
and then there would be
the magnetic fields and
their song 'falling in love with the wolfboy'. "when the sky tuns
to
wine you embrace,
and forget everything that you know"... are they reading
jalaleddin rumi or
something?!! my god!i feel weird even calling god 'god', and the
last thing i think of is a man in a white robe with a big white
beard, all those born again christians with bibles up their
cunts that think
that
god hates
fags are totally whack, to put it mildly. i once threw eggs at
a man in front of a clinic who was protesting and yelled, "what the
fuck do you think you eat for breakfast every morning
motherfucker?! you're a man, you'll never get pregnant!" yeah
that's a little nuts, but it happened quite spontaneously, so don't
confuse me for a weirdo or anything. i tend to really dig the
radical
faerie and
gay
shame types and their badass "
queer mutiny,
not corporate unity!" attitudes.
it's true. it's only a matter of time before we see the halliburton
and blackwater floats in the gay pride parades! fuck!
my artwork...
bored out of my mind...
you are a man with a large romanesque nose...
