Mexico!!!

It's amazing here. Everything is comfortable. Soft ground, warm water, warm temperature, I sleep and eat and hike and draw at the beach all day and night. There are natural virgin beaches. I eat fresh fruit, fish, and veggies. Life is soooo beautiful here. Here is a photo of me spinning fire.

Baba Ram Dass

Be Here Now.
This is Baba Ram Dass. He was Dr. Richard Alpert. He's the other guy who got fired from Harvard with Timothy Leary. He went to India after that and tripped with monks, gurus, and holy men and got famous when he wrote "Be Here Now". It's really good and strange story with lots of drawings in it. So check it out.
Here's a quote, but he said lots of really good stuff.

"My life is a creative act--like a painting, or a concerto"

Mexico and Central America it is!!!

Geronimo when he's old.
That's what this drawing is suppose to be. So I will spend the winter traveling and hanging out with the first americans. Adventure and lessons from shamen in the rainforest and the dessert, and more adventure in mountains and beaches. I'm excited for what mysteries I may find out and for more experiments and freedom.

......and here's a drawing of a naked girl for some reason. I guess because thats fun to draw to. And figure drawing is important practice always.

dali lama and geronimo

Time for adventure. Asia or Mexico and Central America? Buddhists and Sadhu's or Native Tribes? I'll chill here for awhile and the answers will come and then I'll go see who I need to see.

native american drawings

I've been liking to draw native americans lately. I will do more and better ones. They have so cool faces to draw. I like Sitting Bulls face a lot. He was one of the few to win a war with the whites. Then he went east and saw how many cracker ass whities there were in the big cities there and realized he wouldn't win another war with them. Then he started making peace treaties. I think you can see the fierceness in his face. A tough dude but a defeated one. Its a strong and disturbing look that stirs you deep to see it. Look forward to seeing that same look on the face of environmentalists if the world can't come to some serious decision on Oct. 24 in Copenhagen.


been figure drawing to. at William and Mary on thursdays. this girl said she liked the drawing so much that she wanted to put it on her fridge or maybe in her living room even! super cool.
caricature season is almost up and it will be time to hit that dusty trail! Im so excited. ..downunder has been calling for a long time. . ..or back to the native in mexico and central america.. or asia.. or africa.. ???? not realy sure. hope there is time for all of it in the years to come.

native american in pastel

after leaving the beach I had a great trip back to VA with my very good friend Kaity. We stopped in New Orleans and the Smokies among many other places on the way.


I draw pictures of KD alot. Sometimes shes not so happy about it but still poses like in this drawing. Usually she is happy and doesn't mind. I'm having a good time here. I'm drawing live caricature and pastel portrait. I will try to post something soon of that.

i got new juggle clubs with all this drawing money and heres some quick drawings from work and me drawing the girls ugly!

this is some super quick drawings


ഹിയര്‍ I was spinning fire with a small circus of friends last winter in mexico, tonight i will spin for the first time at a job here in the u.s. i also put in a picture of the inside of my hut in southern mexico. its where i did my handcrafts and reading and some drawing. I hope to get back there soon and meet up with my circus pals and maybe get them to the u.s. for a show

There's suppose to be art on this blog somewhere. Here is a digi paint of me. I have a new puter!!hurray!! I'll put more drawrings later.

Some ideas I have about living that are inspired by Wavy Gravy, hippies, native americans, Derrick Jensen, and oh...uuuuh everybody that ever lived in the time before or outside of civilization, which is to say most people who have ever lived and the majority of time that our species has been on the earth. To specify for now, i want to talk about rent.
Your born here. You didn't choose to be here. You can't go anywhere else. But you have to pay to stay. You have to pay to exist. What pervert ever thought of this arrangement. ..And landlords. How outdated does this sound? "Hark! I be the LOrd of the Land! Be ye friend or foe!!!" There's even landladies. Lords and Ladies. Your a landserf.
So I'm deciding to do some time liberating this privatized planet and make some public space where there is none. I have found plenty of beautiful natural areas to park my rig for the night (with lots of help from the local youth who also look for places to be free).
"If a working man wants to get ahead in this country he's got to get around the landlord." -an old man I met in mexico this winter-

I make jewelry. here's a couple of things i made and sold. I make this kind of stuff all the time, its fun and it helps support my trips as I go. I have a lot more and better stuff to. Ill post is sometime.

The next Adventure!!!
here I posted to pics that I think are nice goodbye pics. There are so many ideas for this next adventure, I know where I'm going next but the rest I will let pan out as the trip goes, oh course. Amongst the exciting ideas and things that may happen are, adventures to save the planet and and oceans before its to late, going to talk to the wise natives of this land, maybe just a trip to concentrate on the art and get more funds, the continent down under, or pyramids in the americas, and many many more ideas. ...what will happen for sure is a trip of wild abandon and going off the map. I have been all up in civilization for to long. One looses touch if one is not careful. Love and thanks to the hospitality of Cat and Troy this summer and to everyone that helped.

Here's my wall at the NCN convention. Ooooooh, man, I have a lot to learn. I was feeling like a baby drawing next to masters. It's ok. All part of the path. I learned a lot and there are lots of different directions that I want to try now. I found out how much art can just really be whatever you want! Who knew?! So this wall is pretty much stuff just like my park sketches. Hopefully I will be learning and doing more and better work here soon. I will try to break out of my bounderies... in life and in drawing.
I drew this here dude with the glasses. I was pretty proud of it. Starting to feel a little more brave with the stretching it all out. There is still a lot of things that I would change, do different, do better and all that crap, but this is a step in a better direction. Thanks to everyone at the NCN!!!
