How to Report the News

Today, I got a haircut.

     ..And while waiting for said haircut, I had the great curiosity of flipping through one of the many booklets, full of 'haircuts for men'. So as I began flipping through the book, page after page, I couldn't help but notice how extremely homo-erotic and absurd the hairstyles (as well as the models themselves) were. Shirtless men, with little pink bow ties, all that jazz. Dudes with the most unrealistic hairstyles known to man.
      And I just can't help but notice how EVERY SINGLE mens hair style book I run into these days, all keep up with this trend of having the most ridiculous haircuts ever. I don't know. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm just not keeping up with today's new look...

 

Yeah... I'm sure that's the problem.

Park Benches

I now have this 'thing' for sitting alone in the park. I'm not sure if it's the big yet surprisingly comfortable benches, or just starring at all the strange people that walk by, but it is VERY relaxing for me. Just to sit there after a long day of work, in no rush whatsoever, just quietly taking in the nice weather. In fact, I wouldn't even mind being homeless for a day, just so I could enjoy sleeping on one of those huge benches. And so I say: Don't take park benches for granted! Sit down. Rest a while.

Today.

      So today, I road my bike from Stow to Fryeburg. Out of curiosity, while I was biking against the wind in a wide open field, I fiddled around for my harmonica in my pocket, and just as I pulled it out, the breeze I was biking up against began to blow through my harmonica, and the harmonica began to virtually play itself. A deep and consistent drone of harmony. I placed the harmonica up against my ear to get a better listen, and as I reached the top of a hill, I slowly accelerated downward, faster and faster. On my ten speed, I crouched down low, pushed down hard on the pedals, and with my harmonica and my face low and close to the handlebars, the harmonica started to play its drone louder and louder, with great intensity.

Art FAIL

      Okay, so here I am talking about my art again..
 ANYWAYS. Here's an old piece I just came across not to long ago..

The funny fact about this piece, is that it's actually a complete and utter failure.
      Okay, so I was doing the usual aerosol paint space themed gig, with an interesting attempt at creating an ocean, with a rising/setting planet/moon on the horizon.You can also see my attempt at clouds, where I had painted in white.. So anyway, I was letting the thing dry, obviously not very satisfied with it, that I had left a sheet of news paper over it. When I returned to it, a tad bit disappointing, I ripped off  what I could of the dried on news paper.. And VUALA!

      But I must say, I enjoyed what came out of it. Certainly it doesn't hold any real narrative, just being a big tangle of mistakes all in one. But I'd have to say for myself, that the news paper gave it some real depth.. Somehow..

      And that is why I say LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES! Because sometimes, they can give you some good insight... Or in my case, they can just look kinda cool.
