Where do you plug in for inspiration or do you feel you are an outlet of a creative force that is using you?
Mostly I simply walk through the city for inspiration. I'm an addictive people watcher. Commuting on public transportation is fantastically weird. I am part of the mix of so many skins and quirks as much as the next rider. My main plug-in has always been music, the ambience of empty space to the sounds I'm plugged into. It's something I don't create myself, but something translated through my work in ways I hope others can understand in terms of tones, composition, harmony...ya know. I'm rarely disconnected from my portable player. Black light, white noise.....
What sparks you, charges you up besides art?

Hey all, This will be brief because I've been hit with a little cold, which doesn't really surprise me because I have been pushing so hard for weeks. Today is get well quick day because I have to be bright and shiny tomorrow for my interview on KBOO. Tune in to 90.7 FM at 10:30AM or click here to stream it live on the internet. I also got a nice email from Richard Schemmerer who took pictures at the opening for Natural Selection last week and posted them on his blog Portland PDX Art. Thanks Richard!

...Post it
Post it a like a wish like a dream
As if you own it deserve it as if magic is possible
For once happening to you not to others
Not in the past not in the future but in this moment
Like if somebody forwarded you some luck
A break in the routine to solve everything
And even more

Idio-syncrasy
The space less traveled non-intimidating forgone conclusion a popup window into realms/zones of indifference laktating with indecisiveness; not solidified like a joke before laughter has proofed its funniness, its validity.
Taking a crap-shoot at orthodoxy uncertified by society or free from face value attachment of cooperate structures using pre-existing conditions to dismantle Pop ideologies and to transmorph them into pop poop culture like the Olympic rings made from spiders.
Do you want a piece of Brittney's cake or are you just jealous? Is this a bridge for ultimate condolence or a contraption to capture the UR-cry; am I pushing the envelope or just brain daisies in barren field.
Food for thought doesn't grow on trees it has to be excavated from the garbage pit of the populous.
