The sad thing is, the side of my upper body, and the whole side of my face, were in the puddle. There was water in my mouth, and I could see my eyelashes making ripples in the water. But I was alone at Tompkin’s Sq. Park, with people all over, and I was too nervous that someone would grab my camera. So I set the timer, tried to place my face in the spot I had focused on, and only took two...

shessofuckedinthehead replied to your post: shessofuckedinthehead replied to your photo:…
well of course he is. :) but my mind went directly to the prurient undertones. (gotta find a job with that mascot) ;)
Well, I did tag it “Hungry for cock?”, so I can’t really blame you ;)

as a matter of fact….how DID you get your hands on one?
He’s the shop mascot at work. We used to have a little bobcat with a piece of chewing gum stuck under his raised paw.

Aural or Visual? →
The first time I watched this (dirty, pretty) short from Chase Lisbon, I must have played it about 15 times in a row (at the laundromat, no less). I still can’t decide if I was so into the song because I liked the video, or so into the video because of the song (“On That Night”, by Lux Perpetua, from “How to Tell a Lie with Lux Perpetua”). I don’t consume a lot...

Charles Dickens and John Lennon Face the Paparazzi
Charles Dickens: I have come at last, and it is time I did, to my life here, and intentions for the future. I can do nothing that I want to do, go nowhere where I want to go, and see nothing that I want to see. If I turn into the street, I am followed by a multitude. If I stay at home, the house becomes, with callers, like a fair.
John Lennon: The bigger we got, the more unreality we had to face, the more we were expected to do, until when you didn’t shake hands with the mayor’s wife, she starts abusing you and screaming or saying, “How dare they?” There’s one story where we were asleep after a session, somewhere in America, and this mayor’s wife comes and says, “Get ’em up! I want to meet them.” And our publicist Derek said, “I’m not going to wake them up.” And she starts saying, “You get them up, I’ll tell the press!”
Dickens: I take my seat in a railroad car, and the very conductor won’t leave me alone. I get out at a station and can’t drink a glass of water without having a hundred people looking down my throat when I open my mouth to swallow. Conceive what all this is! Then by every post, letters on letters arrive, all about nothing, and all demanding an immediate answer. This man is offended because I won’t live in his house, and that man is thoroughly disgusted because I won’t go out more than four times in one evening. I have no rest or peace and am in a perpetual worry.
Lennon: Couldn’t take it. It hurt me so; I would go insane, swearing at them and whatever. It was awful. All that business was awful. It was a fuckin’ humiliation. One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were, and that’s what I resent. I did it, but I didn’t know, I didn’t foresee that, it just happened bit by bit till this complete craziness is surrounding you. And you’re doing exactly what you don’t want to do with people you can’t stand—the people you hated when you were ten.
saintjohn asked: I don't know how I managed to mess up the photo attribution, but I edited my post and credited publicfruit. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I’m lost in B&H. This place is too big. At least there are bowls of candy everywhere.

I’ve gotten an amazing response to Jellyfish, so I’m going to keep this project going. I’ll have a new story up in a few days, inspired by a photograph by Molly Peck. If you don’t follow Molly, you should.
Oh. I am curious! The suspense is going to kill me! How exciting!

sarahmay asked: I cannot figure out how to reply to tumblr posts, I am tumblr-challenged. but I liked your reply on the rorschart skull - b/c I thought at first it was a boston terrier!!! as for the dollar bill side, I'm still not entirely sure it that's a penis or dog shit. I don't know what kind of pervert any of that makes me either.

You know what watercolors have going for them, though? I get to say “liquid frisket”, which hasn’t stopped amusing me yet.

Hire Her →
nevver:
An excellent writer, a rock star traffic-generator, and a generally awesome person.
You guys all know how much I think of Susannah Breslin, right? She was the second total stranger I ever painted (after Genesis Breyer P-Orridge), and she wrote an incredibly kind post about it on her old (now gone?) blog, the Reverse Cowgirl. She contributed to the first round of Significant...
tesla-lala asked: I love the latest painting. LOVE IT. Like, want to buy it I love it so much. Her hair looks like it is dripping on her face.
