SouthWest Sketches

The only artwork produced during my journey through the SouthWest...

Humanity

"In very few places do people starve to death simply because of drought. The only time people really die is when there's some kind of political complication."

Colorless

I'll spare you the photo but I shat an albino piece of poo. Completely colorless, it's never happened to me before. A nice, solid product, the most wonderful kind where when you wipe there's nothing on the TP. The best. I'm trying to think back to everything I've consumed in the past 48 hours and I can't think of anything that would suck all the pigment out of my crap. I think it may be more emotionally, psychologically or somehow mentally related.....I dont know how but I can think of plenty of things right now that are affecting my being that might absorb the color. I dont know about you but that makes sense to me.

Worthy is the lamb

I draw while people sing.

Geographer

Last night thanks to Ken I went out to the city to see Geographer play at Rickshaw Stop.
Never either seen the band live or been to the venue. I even forgot for a moment who the band was. Haven't been to a show in a while, months, a year?

They did a rad cover of New Orders Age of Consent, I'm telling you New Order influenced everyone:


Pretty much what it looked like:

so long the days
that melt away
so loud the words
you could not say

Evil

I witnessed an accident.

There was this huge Budweiser truck parked, the driver off loading beer, taking up the entire right lane so traffic was slowing, stopping. I was in the right lane directly behind the truck, signaling to get left. A Honda stopped for me and even honked to let me know. Just as I started entering the left lane as I was looking in my rear view mirror. I hear the crash and see the windshield of the mini, that rear ended the Honda, go from clear to white as the windshield shattered from the impact of the airbag. I even saw the the two in the Honda cover the back of their heads and go forward in reaction. But I didn't stop I drove on. I felt evil.

Air

I happen to order my new mac air the day before Steve Jobs died. What does it all mean? Nothing. Just that an extraordinary man died at a relatively young age.

Rad but sad.

Message

On time I'd broken up with a girlfriend and I told Wei briefly about it or maybe he heard from someone else, I don't remember exactly. But anyways a few days later I miss his call but listen to the voice mail message and he says simply "Hey, man, I'm just calling to make sure you didn't commit suicide or anything." That's it. And you might think that's harsh but it was heart warming and a smile crept across my face. I knew he was looking out, that he cared, was concerned. And that's all I needed to hear to know that. He didn't need to use nice words or even mention the situation. I didn't call him back but I got the message.
