Apples
by JT

bitter rage in a glitter cage
led me to slaughter
and the prodigal daughter
hurricane sssssswuussssh
and the burning bush
there are so many ways
to bring on the haze
but have i the gall to fall?

[Cylor]

bump

mystics rejoice when the light of autumn begs anew
cancel all the extra helpings, i think i've had my share
go ahead, no one's forcing you
sapphires sparkle softly in the corner of the room
maybe it's been too soon
but what of all the top hats and purse snaps?
how will they echo on with nothing to shudder?
someone come quick, i need to clear this clutter
before i stutter...
stutter
stutter
and forget what you were saying

[Cylor]

the early worm gets the cheese
when he's down upon his knees
smiles flow like sugar
when the ice drips blood
harder now, they can't hear you
take a bow, now they fear you

i think it's raining spilled milk

There is a girl with celophane hair and amethyst eyes that wanders imbibed nights, dodging the shadows and the lecherous trees before they bark at her.
Lonely she steps and timid she squeaks but there is an Oak outside her window that blacks in and out, in and out, in and out, until the salty reeds wade against the water.
The red fern burns with the ferocity of the besmirched printing press, pecking away in the hard nest where she'll lay her suffocated eggs.
The tree, too, leaves His seed and the garden grows white with the frost of an empty Sunday morning. There is not enough water.
Vacuums catch it, eagerly sucking down anything out of the ordinary but the carpet remembers the cement that sprayed forth from out the window and into drowsy sidewalks.
The hurt didn't stop until the ball dropped but balls always drop from malnourishment and a fetid liver.
Keep me with you as you stroll along from tree to tree, I need some shade to recharge and read and feed feed feed you the bananas and apricots that never bloomed so deeply as when you were stroking the telephone pole and it's flourescence penetrated your weight and the dust never settles.

My Recently Deceased Dog




I think he looks really cool in this picture... He died June 8th this year, of a liver tumor. His name is Shadow.

\Scurvy: those pictures would have been good had they had a face in them. Faces rule!

actually, the majority of my work revolves around faces--those four in particular very deliberately do not...i wanted to show how expressive a figure in itself can be.

i've been getting more and more into figurative and gestural pieces, even in my photograhy...although i do still have a soft spot for portraiture and cartooning

I'm actually kinda writing right now. I'm like 3 chapters in. Maybe when I become less self conscious about it, I'll post the first chapter or two, seeing as how I haven't really completed the third chapter (I have the bare bones, it just needs to be filled).

I didn't finish coloring but it's kind of hard, I didn't want to ruin it too much more.

Dubious day, eaten away,
with visions of hate and fear.
Each second passes,
Slower then molasses,
God exploits us all here.

Dubious life, doused in strife,
delirious and defunct.
He pokes and prods
He smiles and nods
Life’s mysteries never debunked.

Dubious infinity,
such shameless divinity,
why do you hate us so?

Who thought that in being,
with all of its feeling
it's all just a valiant show?

It's quite simple actually, if you want to stencil on shirts like I did, all you need is some acetate papers, a pen, an exacto knife, some acrylic paint, this(you can find this at any art shop), and a sponge roller.

First, you draw the design you want on the acetate paper and then you cut it out with the exacto. Tape the design on your T-shirt at the desired emplacement. Make the color you need with your acrylic paint tubes. Now you have to mix the acrylic paint 50%/50% with the Gel Stain thingy (I've been told you can also use white glue instead, but you must considerate the fact that it will lighten the color since it's white). Once that's done, you just have to apply the mixture on the design, using your sponge roller. Don't add any water. Apply slowly until you get an uniform color. Let it dry, put a clean piece of clothe over it, and iron the piece of clothe for a few minutes. You're done. You can also add more layers if you want.

I don't know if that sounded any coherent, if not, you can easily find some more complete tutorials on the web. There are many different methods to do this, but I like this one.

[Scurvy]

yeah basically you can do whatever the hell you want with cardboard/acetate and an exacto. acrylic works fine but it starts cracking after a while if you run it through the wash a lot. luckily thats not an issue for me because i never do laundry...but there is fabric paint you can use as well

So I did like a sliver of LSD today and found this written on my notebook:

Blerpdy fard. Not hinging on breaking but breaking on the hinge. A door? NO idiot, my balls.
