New York was everything it's supposed to be. FIve days in Mecca, and I return a not-very-changed man, but nevertheless stronger, faster and smarter (thanks to that fancy chip I had installed in my brain - thank you american private heath care!). Nearly a week of wearing out my shoe leather in Manhattan and hanging out in the galleries with giants and heroes has left me worn-out but happy (thanks to the ever-awesome presleyan, who repeatedly saved me from sleeping in the streets).
So it's back to work for a couple weeks, then goodbye soul-sucking office job forever. My dreams are full these days with happy, sugar-coated thoughts of studios and classrooms.
But meanwhile, it's so hot that it seems to take all the effort I have just to lie puddle-like on my couch and close my eyes to thoughts of being back on the open road.
Now weep before my awesome PHOTO ASSUALT!

... and then there's this. I can't decide if I should paint it, leave it as a photo, or burn it beyond recognition. I'll call it self-portrait with watermellon #13

There's something about sub-atomics particles that just makes me tingle all over...
Yep, thats what they do...
Oh and thanks for reminding me; I have Watermellon in the fridge...
Nice pics... glad to hear you had a good time in New York.
If I had cash I'd immediately buy "Untitled With Fish" . How much would you want for it?
I expect to come into a big sum of cash very very -
fooled you didn't I? Hahaha. Well I am curious.
