_a rare happy photo of the elusive one.
_another rare photo of a happy painter and his new sexy lady.
it’s been really great to know older bohiems that have been down the road before. they always complain about how old they are and have little time left they have to create art and in some respect, they do create a sense of urgency in me. naturally, it’s not so much about getting old but as artist, it’s about what we produce in the short time that we’re here. in some respect, i am glad they’re not the typical successful artist that play art circuit and just give it their best. it’s unfortunate that they’re unable to make a decent doing art full time but who will they become when/if they become successful. it’s the same question i ask myself, would i like myself after i am ‘big shot’ photographer and ceo? of course i would like myself but it’s a matter of how deep the illusion runs at the point. it’s a perilous road i walk and in some respect, i am afraid of realizing my full potential because of what i may become.
at any rate, we’re all going to NY in a couple of weeks and it should be a most interesting trip. i predict we will come back inspired to the art thing more deeply but i will forget about it after a couple of weeks and wake up in a montasery.
