Oh my. I am enamored with this image. Can I do it again, or is it an aberration? That is what is haunting me. It is beautiful. This is what I want the carnival series to look like. Dark. Blurry. Sumptuous.
Posting a naked boy here was apparently a bad idea. Overwhelmingly people didn't like it. Or at least that particular picture.
I keep looking at today's picture and imagining other figures in the frame. Twisted dogs, roaring lions, screaming tigers and whining hyenas, a circus dwarf and a strong man, a tightrope walker in serious danger, a gypsy card reader, a knife thrower and his assistant, a human contortionist, Jo-Jo the Dog Boy and the Bearded Lady in faded, fading images.
I have to remember what I did or all is lost.
I meet up with Red today. There is a terrible promise in it all.
Hey, you, I liked the photo, you know that.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait to see 'a thousand ways to hide genitals'...
Will be a bit harder with the boys I guess...
:-P
I like this one, too.
Much terrible pleasure!

I liked the naked guy... especially looking at him in the context of your oeuvre to date.
ReplyDeleteThe American Impressionist artist sale started today. I think I've got it now. He has made himself a memorable character. The way he dresses, paints his shoes a certain blue/green, the accent and stories -- we sold over 60K of his work in less than 6 hours today -- not bad for a so called shitty economy.
6 more hours of selling tomorrow. Maybe I'll have a good chunk of next years Morocco/Paris trip done if all goes well. And a few good paintings as investment.
Enjoy your extended weekend...
oh and i see Bettie Page. i think it is the bangs which i love.
ReplyDeleteO.K. I will not give up. I know what I must do.
ReplyDeleteN, Thanks for the props. Is there any other kind of pleasure?
A, My mother and I used to do this when I was young, but I wasn't standing still.
L, O.K. I will think about getting a "costume" and affecting some of my ways. You think you can sell myself off at a decent price?
yes. either fortunately or un-, I can sell almost anything. :)
ReplyDeleteEven my stuff?
