playing tag

playing phone tag with alot of my close friends....i guess the internet is good for something besides porn ...spam....downloading music.....to all my friends hope you are welll....things are good...could be better but isnt always the case....martha...sorry we havent been able to connect...but tag youre it now...i always miss your calls...our timing is off....my friend e.....from sa.....im so happy you are in love...that is soooo cool... lil ric thanks alot....for hanging out....i talked to my friend chapa..it had been a while...its always good to hear from an artist friend ...living the struggle...


alll love and props go to my friends right now...for making the difference....in my life....and now i will shower you with strange organic drawings im doing

a crap load(was that redunnnnnndantttttt) of old drewings

as far as a disclaimer -if you find any of these offensive -they are just art-drawn with ink on paper-they are images of human anatomy-so leave if they are not to your christian approval

draWINGS

these are some of my drawings-i havent scanned any new ones-most of them are in austin
but all the ones i mailed out -i dont have any record of-and i was probably taking a nap when they were supposed to be recorded so .....enjoy these -most youve seen others you havent

my artwork since im up and theOCD is in full effect

*disclaimer -if any of these images offend you -they are works of art-they are not meant to be offensive-just please go to another blog
and if your not old enough to look at art like this(should i say mature)please dont -move on
thank you










these are some of my works-i mostly do drawings /paintings ..........i havent worked on any in the past month (have 3 new ones but they are resting right now)-but im working on sound art pieces-its a whole new world-but its interesting and frustrating -just like any new relationship
anyway here are my works-
ps
now that i put the paintings/drawings -im gonna have to show the drawings seperate

a blanket

a blanket of ideas covers me-but i cant seem to hold any of them-
i heard 5 brothers sing mexican traditional songs today-they all seem to have partaken in alcohol-or maybe they were drunk on the love they have for one another -they are all men in their late 50s and 60s but they were in top form....theyve been best friends since they were kids-they were brothers and friends -you dont find that too often-its rare and beautiful-
they knew all the words to the songs-"corridos" we call them-they are heartbreaking to me or should i say heartswelling-that is the reason for the blanket-love -family-song-food-alcohol
nothing covers my people more than that........or maybe its just a weekend-or a birthday-a celebration.....do we need those reasons to hug and sing and love each other-i hope not but most times its true-we shouldnt need an excuse to do those things
im gonna try to dissolve the excuses i make for not hugging and saying i love you to friends and family--in the end those are the only ones that truly care
they are the
heartswellers........

EL REY- VICENTE FERNANDEZ( a classic song - when drunk mexicans are together)

Yo se bien que estoy afuera
Pero el dia que yo me muera
Se que tendras que llorar.
(Llorar y llorar, llorar y llorar)
Diras que no me quisistes
Pero vas a estar muy triste Y
asi te me vas a quedar.
Con dinero y sin dinero.
Yo hago siempre lo que quiero.
Y mi palabra es la ley.
No tengo trono ni reina.Ni nadie que me comprenda.
Pero sigo siendo el rey.
Una piedra en el camino
Me enseno que mi destino.Era rodar y rodar.
(Rodar y rodar, rodar y rodar)
Tambien me dijo un arriero
Que no hay que llegar primero
Pero hay que saber llegar.
Con dinero y sin dinero.
Yo hago siempre lo que quiero.
Y mi palabra es la ley.
No tengo trono ni reina.Ni nadie que me comprenda.
Pero sigo siendo el rey.
