Spring and the little flowers start to bloom all over. Sometimes the rational side of our minds has no idea what the crazy, dream making, creative side is up to. But long ago those pagans gave us a day (today) in which to let the old mind unify in a happy, jokey, festival of foolishness. Remember the fool is always the wisest one in Shakespeare. Speaking of The Bard, there’s a nice post on a blog called Bardbox about an old video of mine: My Dinner With André The Giant.

Humbert Humbert
Delicious Delores Haze
Anyways the Poem is actually Vladimir Nabokov himself reading Humbert’s Love Poem to a rapt audience… Boy can that fucking Russian read. He sounds like Welsh poet. To think that English is maybe his third language? I found it somewhere online and there’s a clip from an Italian dubbed version of Kubrick’s Lolita with James Mason (youtube)… I was looking for Mason’s reading of the first page of the Novel. There is a recording of him that I used to have on cassette. He did it brilliantly. Titles abound: Lolita 2000, Fire, Catch A Fire, Bailey’s Building and Loan, Humbert’s Butterfly, Kubrick by Brick…. I could go on, but in the interest of brevity a shall relent.
Red writing is from Paris 1998, in a cafe, trying to remember the opening page of Lolita… and failing.
When I Paint Over My Masterpiece

Hanging Myself
Sight, Sound and Fury
A collaborative souvenir of my last show at Monkeytown made mostly by MariaNYC with some shots of mine and the voice over. A strange sad tale told by an idiot.
The Dark Side of the Loon
Tristram
Finally saw A Cock and Bull Story last night. I drew these pictures during it. I found it to be one of the more clever films I’ve seen in while. Leave it to the British to be literate and funny. I also dreamed I could fly last night. It’s been a while and it was good to dust off my wings.
Monkeybook 3
A full moon over blue brooklyn and room full of librarians at Monkeytown where a few of my vids were shown along with the presentation by The Institute for the Future of the Book to the the desk set.
