jerome / rest in peace / vincent

Visiting Arizona ..i never really grasped the cleanliness and space of the west till i have the comparison of the crowded east coast...im glad and thank full for the refection and change of perspective that the show in sept is giving me and thankfull for the fortouls for helping me find myself..and clear my head...calm and quieting the monkey is the hardest thing to do....but im finding myself up for the task ...and seeing that simlpe factthat i have improvements to make and that im aware change and improvement is needed ...is priceless. went to jerome az and said good bye to a friends i never meet and a great painter that has passed...to you vincent D/E/P * R/I/P

the progress

we measure progress by where we started and then seeing where we need to be ...this is an experiment in texture with oils figured what have i not done as of yet....this was it....a med size oil ....the painting is oil and nothing else which is a stretch for me ....but now in my progression ive pushed past this hurdle and await the the next one with eagerness..blessings

where has graff gone...?

I seen in recent years that graff artist have gone either to tatts..or the galleries/./ but dont be fooled they will always go bombing just put the can in their hand....no matter how big they are or get....i walk up with a streaker we bombing...Bangladesh to Kazakhstan....man the only thing that the authorities have done to this craft is made it smarter...silent cans...low oder cans...shit glow in the dark paint....i mean youd think it was 007 or something...well mad up to all who rock the can marker and scribes...stay up and stay down ..day one till the last...i got your back go home streets clear....yup yup bobroxemall

a little book i believed had been lost forever

if u look close you can see betty page ..these are originals and im so glad i have refound it..and wanted to share it ..

the figure in the drawing is shifty he seems to be doing and saying everything i cant or wont..kind of like living thru me ..if i want him to do he does..no questions asked...he also has deep meaning to me // his beginnings are simple i was drawing a tattoo for "home wrecker sera" it was blah a heart with wings and i was getting frustrated ..so i decided to put some music on ok now im groven the rolling tunes came on -sympathy for the devil or to the devil- i cant recall the name, but there is a line in there that says every sinner is a saint...a bell went off the calaca (skulls) in mexican culture represents the being coming back as comical character ...so shifty was born ..i removed the heart from the drawing and replaced him inside...perfect later i added the scar to the wings...making him more like me...hes symbol is the spade because i see it as a black heart flipped up side down....with a wedge driven thru it..but thats just me....so his name is shifty fidel del castaneda ...to be exact ..fidel after my grandfather not the cuban dictator..hes not always right but always granteed a laff.
