Old man and lust

Old man with Crystal

 

I'm starting to look like the guy in this piece.

Lard of the Fleece

Pigs

 

Everytime I see a pig, I think of Lord of the Flies. It is a wonderful small book. Safe for high school. But simplistic for adults.

Jarvis House

Hooker

 

The Jarvis House was filled with hookers. When they finally tore it down. You could hear the screams of their ghosts for miles.

I need a woman

Imperial Pub

 

Church Street #25

A little drunk man

screamed several times

into the night,

I need a woman!

After a brief pause

the night

screamed back,

So do I!

 

Bath water

The Living Room

 

Someone turn off the bath water.

Exposure

The Red Sky

 

One winter three people fell into the chilly waters. They were rescued the next spring when the lake thawed. Unfortunately one of them died of exposure.

Perspective

Bissada Falls

 

Straight out that spine. Shoulders pulled back. chin up. its important to have good perspective

 

Cowboys

Two Cowboys

There is a reason they didn't call them cowmen.

Craby apples

House 2

I've never trusted apples. Not since catechism class in grade 1. And after Higgins found half a worm in one of his red ones at lunch.

Hygiene

House 3

We bath too often. 

Fear is in the eyes of the beholder

House 4

They movie shelves seemed filled with horror films. Many of them involve adolescents. Why is that? Do teenagers have so many fears that movies help exorcise them? Or has the world become a more terrifying place?

Size is spelled with two zs

House 5

House 5

When you're a kid you deal with a bigger world. I'm stating the obvious. You see kids playing basketball with a regulation ball and hoop and it occurs to you that if adults used balls and  hoops of an equal size relative to their size the game of basketball would be a completly different beast. So it is with the world. Adults would be driven to fits of rage if they had to deal with such a world. And yet kids remain for the most part, optimistic.

Nuts

House 6

My sister has squirrels in her house. They can't get them out. Yesterday a raccoon moved in.

New house

House 7

In Starbucks I saw 2 women going over the blue prints for a new home. Where do people get the money?

Lord of the Flies

Pigs

In Lord of the Flies, there are no girls. Does that matter?

Beedy red eyes

The Spy

 

Look out your bedroom window. Do you see him.

In the trees. His beedy red eyes.

Gold Fish

The Pond

 

A pond is a zoo. By another name. 

Rock + Roll = Money

Hard Rock Cafe - Toronto - original

We used to sell jewellry outside this place. We're talking about the late 1970s. The owners of the place hired thugs to smash our tables and throw the jewellry across the street. The police did nothing. This is what rock and roll became. Money.

Alone in the woods

Alone in the Woods

 

Don't go in the woods alone. You will not leave. Alone.

Surfer boy

Mist on the Beach

Is the surfer a new Icon? Or is he related to some Greek god. I gotta look that up.

Angry has an H in front of it

Anger

I've always been angry. I don't know why. Its like a furnace inside me. Its what makes me work, think, act.

Neon lights

Electric Loneliness

 

I heard the neon lights weeping.

The Power of H: Cold Cold Water

The Power of H: Cold Cold Water: The Farmer There was a well. That lay near the dirt road. And it overflowed. With the cold cold water. That was delicious.

Cold Cold Water

The Farmer

 

There was a well. That lay near the dirt road. And it overflowed. With the cold cold water. That was delicious.

Suicide of bankers

The Suicide of Bankers

We had turkey. I got the wish bone. And made a wish.

Titanic and Marilyn Monroe

Titanic Rising

I had this dream about the Titanic rising in the mist of Niagara Falls. Perhaps Marilyn Monroe might have been standing by a rail, waving.

H Gallery

This is my gallery with some of my work on the walls.

Words like popcorn

Winter Skiiers

Is skiiers spelled properly? It should have to ii's. Looks Swedish.

Am I making this up?

The Red Sky

Why is Montana associated with red skies? Or am I making this up?

God I'm tired. And it shows. But I like this collage. There are over 200 pieces in it.

A nude nightmare

Winter sled

This is the nightmare I had last night. Winter.

My livingroom

The Living Room

I loved the way you could sit in our sunken living room. Like you were in the arms of mother earth. And anything wonderful was possible.

Not fond of puzzles

Airplane At Night

 

If they threw you out of an airplane in the middle of the night would anyone see you?

Teenagers! Who needs them?

And The Towers Fell

 

What if they discovered that the towers came down because a bunch of teenagers were horsing around in the underground parking

I see a tunnel at the end of the light

Dog on a pier

 

One of my apocalyptic nightmares

What Tsunami?

Eye Sea

How quickly did the news in Japan fade away? What Tsunami? 

Inventions

Iceberg City

Did the late 19th Century invent the future? Invention on a mass scale seemed to start in the late 1890s. Within 30 years radio, automobiles, airplanes, electric lights were brought into this world. What has been invented since 1980?

Boidies

Light Wind Sea and Land

 

Do birds fly upside down?

Georgia

Edge of Antartica

This is Georgia. After Obama was elected. 

Burnt Down

Night Water

The fire burnt down to cinders as the night wore on.

Origin of Time

Origin of Time

A bridge was built over eternity.

Teeth in the ditches

Prairie Moon

The roar of tall grass. The hum of the crickets. Teeth in the ditches.

Lost in the sky

Rolling Hills

Father heard someone outside. We went out to see what was there. It was a lone airplane. Lost in the sky.

The Critics

There is always room in your heart for more white blood cells

 

 

The ground was as hard as a coffee table

Alone in the Woods

oh...oh...oh ya....

Mist on the Beach

And I sank down into the blue. And let myself drift through the cool stream. My feathers slipping away.

My twelfth love

I don't know why people think they have to rate singers. Ella has been described by many as the greatest jazz singer of them all. I don't care. She has a beautiful voice. You can feel her elegance in every phrase. She had such a difficult childhood it's hard to understand how she survived let alone become the beautiful woman she became. One of her band leaders said that in her youth she was a diamond in the rough. Listen to this
YouTube - Ella sings "Georgia on My Mind" Sweden 1963

I'm sorry. So sorry. To let you down

I have been neglecting this blog. (Talking to myself here) But I promise to put more work into it. Like this collage that I just created. (And I've got another idea.) I'll cheat.
