Byline: Ash Can Replica

Sentences are being written that aren't aimed over your head. Spray cans shook, stages sanctioned. 

So settle in for something new again. 

Symbolic and specific some litanies go on for days too long. 

Abandonment of memories, emotions is necessary for growth. Those dramatic, never-be-the-same moments make tough choices easy because they take any choice away. 

Finding that combination of writing music of one's childhood while trying to produce music right now is no different than dreaming of a poem you thought you read when you were a younger head. 

Everybody is trying to get the biscuit, presuming certain things learned, assimilated and mimicked off one-dimensional planes of being are enough to get by half the time. Playing chess with your passions is no gamble for slackers or rackers. 

If you can imagine, gaining some sort of footing, hinging against the world well then good. You have to. At some point, some apostrophe, some catastrophe, we need to know. Or we will need to will the need. 

Who we are, what we are made of, is not merely a matter of what we have, what we have done, but also what we have lost. 

We, who swear by Apollonian documents smeared by our own creed, sincerely wish to present performances in the most Dionysian manner. 

Forgive us our distance and any frozen moments of dreamlike perfection, illusions and allusions of ideal, perpetual life separate from nature. 

Birthing the tragedy, basting with the beast, let's just say it can get hot in the cauldron. My flat black kettle pumps product into the air, a stew of thousands of faces, recipes. Desires. Replicas. 

Serving up sentences resplendent in transmission, sautéed for satisfaction illuminate what's left of the ashes left behind.

I take no credit for these amazing words.

Fizzy melon soda. Sometimes i get time to write some letters and these days im trying to keep the colours flowing, got kinda caught up in outline obsession. First 3D in a while too so if some spots are off or forgotten, well, shit happens.

This week is a graffiti rethink, some explosive painting and lots of hands. Technically its not all this week but wtvr. Pleased for the most part but i know i have better in me. waiting for the day when im thinking more along the lines of composition and what i want to convey rather than just drawing correctly. Its a long way off but thats goal number 1.

Probably gonna start breaking these posts into categories rather than one big bulk post as its easier to index and search.

Artist Spotlight - James Jean

James Jean is a artist of rare talent, a favourite of mine that i rediscovered in the last week or so. His work is clean and clear, images of every variety but especially skilled in figurative and detail work. To show one picture would not be fair at all and to show two pictures is still an injustice to this thrilling and awe inspiring artist. Please take the time to click the link below and check out their personal site. I especially enjoy the sketch work.

Artist Spotlight - ARYZ

An artist that recently blew my mind is the above mentioned ARYZ. Combining external skeletons with rubbery limbs and complex themes, often painted over huge walls of apartment blocks etc. ARYZ has everything you need when it comes to creating interesting original characters and is most definately a force to be reckoned with in the graffiti scene. Please check out their website and enjoy a variety of works from this highly skilled artist.
