In addition to doing art I am also a banjo player in an old time stringband. I had mentioned to one of my band mates while playing my favorite song that I pictured the tune as a weird loopy blue circle full of twistyness. Here is probably the only metaphysical representation of an old time song that ever was conceived....... And corresponding thumbnails . . . </div>

</div>
A lot has happened since my last post here. I have now become an art teacher at a middle school in a small Texas town and my free time and social life have been thoroughly carpet bombed. But now it's thanksgiving break and while my friends are all at work I can sit around and live life like I always wanted to.... Just painting all day for fun and getting paid for it. . .<br />

perched in the crows nest<br />
a husk of a house on a hill<br />
this day this shall all be mine<br />
100 years of future light<br />
playing in the breezy black<br />
of a southern summer night<br />
<br />
A laughing boy asks a favor of a laughing city,<br />
once he asked the same of the moon<br />
except that was before the spring came<br />
this is different, better even<br />
when he asked the moon he was crying<br />
the moon was, maybe laughing<br />
<br />
A laughing boy asked a favor of a laughing city,<br />
now he sees with smiles<br />
(i'm)perfect but solid at least<br />
i don't think the moon has ever actually fallen<br />
and landed on anyone anyway.<br />
<br />
he just has to say,<br />
be good to me and<br />
i'll be good to you<br />

There is a small morsel of fruit hanging in the air,<br />
it takes stock of its surroundings, sniffs the morning dew<br />
can time retain this viscosity forever?<br />
i hope so.<br />

We laugh --------------- or rather both laugh together<br />
<br />
amorous<br />
legumes<br />

no<br />
explanations.<br />
<br />
Solid-state time can only sublime<br />
there are SO many grapes in this world<br />
<br />
yet here sits he while away plays she<br />
off on a spring-bird fancy<br />
<br />
......something has broken down here<br />
this poem is in - con gruous<br />
<br />
but something must happen<br />
or nothing at all<br />
or surely come down<br />
will cradle and all<br />
<br />
i have you, and me you have, you<br />
or so it goes<br />
but thankful i am for heaves and hos<br />

Sweating darkness<br />
Eating the very fabric of life<br />
Where does it all go?<br />
A craft appears,<br />
glistening with hi-beams<br />
crawling with small dancing crustaceans<br />
An entire ecosystem of appreciation for all things small<br />
<br />
How much light would it take to fill that hole?<br />
A final question exhaled as the only remaining<br />
memory of the craft that now wasn't.<br />
<br />
It was the kind of darkness that space could only dream of.<br />
Blackness itself kneeled and prayed before this unholy absence for forgiveness.<br />
A universe of suns tried and faild to put a dent in the insatiable consumption.<br />
<br />
How could one mortal vessle ever dream it could aspire to anything beyond<br />
crushing darkness let alone filling some of the void?<br />
<br />
Well, Occam's razor is a heavy tool when dissecting light.<br />
To peel back the layers of a photon<br />
And find the glowing seed of purpose<br />
To reaveal the tiny beauty in everything tiny.<br />
That a smudge of color glinting off a piece of trash in the road<br />
can outweigh the nothingness of all the universe.<br />
<br />
Light is finite.<br />
Every star will die.<br />
and blackness never fades.<br />
But light finds a way to live on.<br />
It lives and loves; reproduces and evolves<br />
and continues despite.<br />
Blackness never changes.<br />
<br />
Thus the little craft tries to bury the darkness in a grave of light,<br />
but will it be enough?Britt Irickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252830825418202276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949930927410736919.post-35140932958849717142014-06-09T18:47:00.001-07:002014-06-09T18:47:07.862-07:00Tozepan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Where once there could only be heard the low end rumbling of a beasts slumber, there emanates a lazy grumble. The eye opens with a start and the quarter sized pupils dilate in to focus on the bright light. He is AWAKE!<br />

Yet another winter has been weathered and due to my not having been born at the turn of the TWENTIETH century i must keep up my internet presence. I have art and pictures and sketches to put up ... that require a good internet connection to upload.<br />

More progress on the mural. I'm getting so close i can taste the latex. . . . hmm thats weird..... but the detail stages are seeming to drag on as from far away it doesn't look like much is happening even after hours of outlining and highlighting. The writing alone has taken 5 hours. but i have to say it looks as crisp as bacon from afar. Also there is another 25% of the painting that got cut off in this pic.Britt Irickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252830825418202276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949930927410736919.post-71398827920129756532013-07-01T19:27:00.001-07:002013-07-01T19:27:55.240-07:00Adieu but not goodbye<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
