clear sunday fog love time health we are one i want you to know that i love you. snapshots of the plein air LEXINGTON 10.16.11 (part of the 10,000 easels event)

give me the freaks
the liars
the broken hearted
give me the dreamers
the wanderers
the lustful
the sparkling diamonds
give me the amazing
the chiseled
the thorny
the scarred
give me these all
for we are the barreling stone
the passionate dust
the ecstatic hope
we are god

here's the format ... Take it if you can!!

every artist knows about these morning pages. and this thing called the artist's way. and artist's dates and all that stuff. and i suppose i could hyperlink the book the artist's way right here. but that would mean i was taking this blogging thing way too seriously. i mean it's hard enough that they don't pay me for these words... see novel http://www.jeremysprophecy.com but i digress

i've come across a really, really great tool for me as an artist that is kind of sort of like these morning pages, but i think it's taking it to the next level, or another level, or some sort of level. the point is.. this exercise, of which i am about to share, will certainly help any BRAVE artist unlock, whatever it might be that be blocking him/her. that is, this tool of which i am about to share is a great way to help reveal things that are around you, in you, on your mind, or needing to inspire you. in essence this is a fine way, i have found, to very quickly tap the muse ... and learn all sorts of great stuff.. to get you going make you happy, and above all BE FREE ... (warning this can become obsessive and useless if not treated with awe)

so here's how it works. find some time when you are just being. or giving to yourself, or not worrying, or just a time where you've decided it's time off. THEN go to a book store or a movie rental place .. and walk in and roam around, remember movies, or books you've watched our read, and simply be inspired... but this whole thing is kinda of fast .. just go in and enjoy and take your IPHONE (or whatever small/cell camera) and snap some jacket covers (don't think too much about what to take a snap shot of) just whatever feels good (sort of random)... NOT TOO MANY .. just enough to feel, you know, .. high ...

then when you get home download the snapshots, look at the images you captured and write what comes to mind ... do it daily if you can ...

here's an example:

jesus christ this revolution is intense. overwhelming. and so fast. i have no idea how to see. how to see the pace. alice in wonderland transitions. all sober. i sure hope i'm not fuckin' things up by going too fast. cia. paranoia. the kids are alright. the 60's would be proud. SEE me on wall street. i will be there soon ....

i have no idea what this is. i have never heard of this cat. does that make me completely illiterate and an unartist? the image is haunting and i see myself. that psychotic (manic) color of darkness... it's always the 2nd in a series that is dark... like the 'empire strikes back' .. that nose is my nose .. frightened tortured, semitic curled ... twisted all up like plado. and up against the force of all physical.. molded into to guffaw. molded into surrender.. molded.. molded. mold

i saw this film. it's a burden to try to tell you what it's about ... watch it if you can... the title says it all. ...


THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL
