Giant Spider
This is a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. I took this in Ottawa. Apparently she made a few of these. I think there's one in London as well.
I really like it.
Squirel
I love this one. It looks like a Chinese brush painting.
Apparently the big squirels in Ottawa decided to be black.

Cool landings
So the real estate guy is showing me the apartment. The master bed and bath are HUGE. It's a good start, but there's a older white dude in the bath and he had his clothes on. We move on to the other bedrooms. The hall way to the next room is so narrow that you'd have to move sideways just to pass through. The worst part it that the bath room was taking most of the space...weird.
Anyway we move on to the balcony. A real nice balcony but there are a couple of openings on the floor like trap doors. The agent tells me that I'd have to leave that space accessible to the bar downstairs because that's their only access to their stock room. I'm thinking hell no! This isn't going to work at all...although the balcony is soooo cool.
We move back to the master bedroom and the old dude sits up from the bath, did I mention that he had his shirt on? Anyway, we notice a red spot on his shirt further more he has a bottle of red wine in the bath but he's drinking it underwater....weird.
Then the airplane is coming for a landing on the beach. I tell my friend: "you've got to see what this guy does! It's soooo cool." The plane comes around a couple of times and lands right in the water, about 15 feet from the white sand beach. All the sunbathers clap while the captain comes out with a couple of topless girls in each arm holding margaritas. I yell: "Margarita" in my party voice but no one notices and I feel a little embarrassed.
We're moving right along to what I think is the immigration custom's line? There is a couple in front of me, they are my friends I think, and a cute girl behind me. We're all together. I look back at her and she didn't seem to like me, which is odd (he he) but then I extend my arms around her waist and she immediately returns the favor. She ends up against the wall with me pressing my hips against hers. I'm liking this. Then my friend, in front of me, turns me around to make sure I had a hard on. I mean, it's as though, if I didn't, I would get in trouble or something. They let out a smile after seeing my bulging pants...weird.
That's when I realized I was dreaming.

New
Ok, so I had a good Thanksgiving with my really good friend Latchi. I love her dearly. I ate too much, of course and also drank too much and I had a lot of fun. I really enjoy this Bulgarian family. The next day, I decided to quit drinking alcohol, eating meat, eating bread, eating butter, eating sugar and drinking coffee. I feel great! I started meditating again and I looking a safe Yoga routine that's easy for my back. I've deciced not to do a show in December. I'll just let the pieces decide when the show will be. Maybe I'll just have a show in Barcelona or Berlin. That would be great.
Anyway, I enjoy my cats and all is well.

The start of a new series
So this is my new stuff. Although this is a commissioned piece it gives you a hit of the direction I've taken.Texture, texture, texture.
I'm planning on having at least 3 times as much texture as this one.
This is a close up of the middle pannel.

The Zen of Sarcasm
01. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me either.
Just pretty much leave me alone.
02. The journey of a thousand miles begins
with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
03. It's always darkest before dawn.
So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
04. Don't be irreplaceable.
If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
05. Always remember that you're unique.
Just like everyone else.
06. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
07. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
08. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
09. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.
10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
it was probably a wise investment.
12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
13. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.
14. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
15. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
16. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
17. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
18. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
19. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
20. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
21. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
AND
22. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.

Beautiful dream
I go to Alain's house [Caprice]. It looks like a bungaloo. I walk in and hang around for a while. We're supposed to go out somewhere, I'm waiting for him to get ready. I walk down the hall where I hear some noise. I go to the window and I look down at this amizing beauty. I'm up 6 storys and right on the shore. I can see the big blue ocean immediately under me and there are HUGE fish just swiming and having fun. When I say HUGE I mean HUGE. I though they were whale but they weren't mammals. One of them did one quick move of the tail and was miles away. I was in awe in front of this beauty and strength. They almost looked like needle fish but giants. I tried to look at the mouth of one of them and it looked like a prehistoric fish. I then looked down and I see that it's a hotel. There are people on the floor below looking down as well. I say "isn't this beautiful?". They agree. It was David Wechsler. I walk back and look around at the different rooms in the place. You can tell it was done by a very creative person. The hotel doesn' have a beach per say and it's located somewhere hidden where noone would want to be. There are many rooms in the place. I walk back and Alain is getting dressed. I walk outside because I wanted to take a closer look at the pool. It was huge but there was something odd. In the deeper end of it there was, underwater, a jacuzzi. I just didnn't understand what a jacuzzi was doing under water. Alain tells my that the owner is a gay man and I say "of course, only a gay man could have so much taste". I walk to the shore, there are people swimming and I see so many fish, it was amazing and they were all coming so close to the shore. I had nothing to feed them with so I go back to the place to get some bread or something. N'djamena and her friend [dont' know] were at the place. On the table I find, bread, cake and boxes and boxes of yellow crystals like they were grown right out of the box. They were all aligned like a tray of wheatgrass, you know?

Another dream
Alain [Fiston] is driving the car. Dominique, Kian and I are in it. We get to a point where there will be traffic. I don't know this place. It's completely foreign to me. We take a detour on the left. Kian and I get out to find out, on foot, if there is another way. We get to this peer like building and we walk and walk until we reach somekind of corner.
I can see the water. We're six story's up. I hear a gun shot. There is chaos. I grab Kian and get closer to the window. I see the ocean's surface and I think that if trouble comes into the room, we jump. I can see across to the other window. I see two white men, older. One of them is holding his left shoulder. He's bleeding from the gun shot. I can see the bleeding hole. He's holding the gun thought. He looks down and throws the gun into the ocean.
