I'd buy one as a joke, but I'm afraid my boss would think I'm serious and start talking to me again.

Yes - giggles indeed.
Painting has been sputtering. Good when I'm in there but my schedule has been brutal to go along with the hangover of my summer malaise. I need to move to Oregon for some headspace ;) Some new things are developing though. You ever feel you need to get through about 20 books to figure the new thing out?

Yeah. Books. I'm pickin through that "Painting as Model" and sometimes think that I've given up on it, and then, I find myself rereading a silly paragraph about line and visual weight from 1905 and think, oh yeah. Painting is about thinking. Deep non-binary thinking maybe. Even in 1905 Matisse was struggling with it. This past week, however, its nothing but music and marks at my studio. Grrr. Books are for fags, (flex, flex)and all that.

I hear you. The thing that is on my mind at the moment though is finding new ways to articulate and substantiate things I'm thinking and doing visually. Framing the thoughts verbally seems to be a pre-occupation here at the moment. Of course reading material doesn't make the art.

I get you too. Its all woven into these funky cycles. Or waves. You're on a reading wave. For me, I've noticed that if I can bring a painting wave along with a reading wave, sometimes I have the first notes of a chord.

I wish I had more time to write. Or even stand in front of a class. Blogging is helping a little, but not with forming longer complex ideas with context or even the fundamentals of punctuation.
