This weekend feels particularly luxurious. It has been Friday after all since Wednesday. Imagine a pile of Fridays all stacked one on top of the other. Hour after hour to piddle around. Oh, what shall I do first? What’s that John Coltrane says about starting in the middle and moving both direction at once? Yes. I think I’ll do that.
Lately every page in my book has a stencil portrait. It’s going to be that way for awhile. I’m just saying. I have no control over what gets lodged in the spokes of all those wheels whirring away up here. Whir, whir, whir.
The journal is halfway filled. It’s a heavy behemoth of a thing. Soon I’ll need a pack mule to carry it from porch, to spraypaint station out back, to workshop.
More little canvases are finding their way to the staging area. This is my latest. The Boy With No Nose.
This boy is very Scientific. I didn’t intend for him to be, but that word jumped out at me from the newspaper. I’m hearing voices again. I try to ignore them, but sometimes they won’t go away.
You know how it is.
oh you know Mary Ann…
we’ve been watching Hitchcock – Vertigo on now and the Birds yesterday – the Rope a couple of days previous…
California scapes – Jimmy Stewart, Tippi Hedren…

journaling – the daily practice and yoga now again after the foot has healed…

Everytime I come back to your blog I am struck by the beauty of your stencils. They just keep getting better and better.
