an Uncomfortable Note, circa 1994 by ted giffin Let’s settle this like civil neanderthals. Do you drag your women around by the hair? Cro-Magnon, perhaps? Do you wear a hood? Be my executioner. Step up the guillotine, public stoning public lynching, ascending…with my pez dispenser of XANAX. Cliche fiery melancholic artist, clueless, a Rebel without a Clue. I am like a bull. I see RED and I CHARGE! Do you see red? The difference between us? You are a Misanthrope whereas I […]

I create many pieces of Art that by sheer enormity become a Dragon leashed to me to which my Identity is Confused. My self worth can seem equivalent to it’s quality. If It is bad, I am bad, If It is good, then I am good. I Hoard It, I Protect It. I am Lord Creator, Protector, and Guardian of this Beast. Is an Artist a Myth?

March 20, 2017
