Art Becomes Life

I've been painting so much that I'm now a painting!...I want to connect with someone who can help me sell the art work I've been creating and build a market for it. Does anyone know anyone who knows how to help artists do this and who would take on a relatively unknown (and shy) artist like me?

The Transition

I was woken in the middle of the night by a grinding sound. I sat up and saw Saturday as it was appearing out of the last remains of Friday. I got out my sketch pad and drew this picture.

On the Way to the Moon

This morning I took my rocket ship to the moon.

Halfway there I ran out of gas. I got really upset with myself for not filling up the tank when I left.

That exhausted me so I just sat there in the captain's chair, looking out the window.

I realized this was the first moment I had to myself with nothing to do for quite a while. I thought I could meditate and recharge myself so dumb things like this wouldn't happen again.

But I got uncomfortable with the silence and went online to leave you this post.

The Seminar

I went to the Manifest Your Best Life Now Seminar.

The speaker said, "You need to really, really want what you want in life to manifest your dream life!"

I raised my hand and said that I want things, but I don't really, really want anything.

The speaker said, "What if you tried to really, really want to really, really want something?"

I tried hard for about a minute.

When I was done, the speaker asked how it went.

I said all I got was a headache.

The speaker got excited and said, "Great, don't you really, really want to get rid of your headache?"

I said that I really, really wanted a refund.

The Sauna

This morning I had my weekly Saturday morning sauna with God.

I said to God, "I think too much."

God said, "You always find something to complain about."

I said, "What do you mean?"

God said, "We can't get together without you telling me something that is wrong with your life."

I said, "Well, if you feel that way, why do you hang out with me?"

God said, "I'm entranced by your shiny bald head."

Maxim

You can be right, but it's a tremendous burden and the monthly payments are exhausting.

The Gist

Nothing is a problem until you set it on fire and climb into it.

The Walk

I was driving down the freeway when I stopped in the middle of the road and got out of my car.

People honked and swerved as I walked forward on the lane I had been previously driving on.

I walked for about two hours until I walk-exited the turnoff. I walked another half hour till I got to my home.

I went in and sat down on my couch. My feet hurt, so I rubbed them.

I thought of calling a friend to talk about what I'd done earlier, but realized I'd left my phone in my car.

Walt

I went on my yearly afternoon walk around the lake with the ghost of Walt Disney.

I said, "Ah, the sweet virtues of being lazy and purposeless."

The ghost of Walt said, "Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins!!"

I said, "Yet it's been proven that down time is necessary for great creative productivity."

The ghost of Walt said, "Actually while I was alive, I felt cigarettes provided my inspiration. I even created an animated film called Puffy, about a talking cigarette. It was meant to play in theaters across the country in 1964. Unfortunately the movie was ill-timed as it coincided with the Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, and Puffy had to be scrapped."

The Delivery

I inherited the King Tut exhibit. It arrived yesterday by UPS.

I had the delivery person put it down in my basement. I unpacked it.

Curiously I opened King Tut's sarcophagus. King Tut woke up and got angry with me for disturbing him. I quickly closed the lid.

There's nothing worse than the feeling of someone being annoyed with you.

New Painting


It's me, yours truly, with a pastel painting I did yesterday. It sums up a lot and a little and some things in between.


If you're interested, it's for sale.

The Lottery

I won the lottery last night.

I got my cash winnings this morning.

I then went nuts and ordered and ate an extra-large pizza with everything from Domino's. Afterwards my stomach hurt.

But then I ate a $100 bill and I felt better.

The Cloud

I noticed that a cloud stayed in place over my home while other clouds came and went.

Eventually I asked the cloud what was going on. The cloud said it was tired and was resting. I asked if the cloud wanted to come in and take a proper nap in my guest room.

The cloud said yes, came in, and is now fast asleep in the guest bed.

I'm currently making the cloud a hearty and delicious breakfast for when it wakes up.
