This is the most powerful image in my thrift shop collection of abandoned images. I remember snatching it so fast from a stack of images in a Kansas City flea market booth that I nearly ripped it. Sometimes I like to convince myself the hunchy man on the left with the camera or binoculars on his arm is Dwight Eisenhower or Bob Hope. 

the truth is, i still feel young

everybody collects. bees and squirrels collect.

"Curiously, though artists may start out collecting like everybody else, they tend to pay attention to the back pages and margins, to what is absurd and neglected in collecting, saving and archiving."

-Matthias Winzen "Collecting-so normal, so paradoxical" Deep Storage.

 

my apologies for the long pause..

Another from this series of explorations I started to share HERE.

i hope i can keep working like this+i found andy griffith's wallet.

I found this little wallet at the flea market this weekend. 

Clearly, now that I've moved I really need access to a better scanner. 

gems in my collection.

That past 2 days have been my first few official days of grad. school. 

The whole experience is surreal. 

art, books, true friends, and mother.

I sold not one, but 2 of these this weekend. Dos!
What a humble and thankful little artist I am...

Add that to the list of things to celebrate:

• Senior year: semester I, semester II
  
• finals
• sold one two pieces,
• SNOW!
  

Now it's time to snuggle up, relax with my best friend, love, and enjoy some good films!
