Just working on what I’ll be reading Saturday and what I’ll be showing behind me as I read.

First Frost
Though I hope it will be open enough to use as part of my ongoing blogging/vlogging experiment, the end result should be a fairly focused narrative electronic book.
I learned recently that they found St-Exupery’s downed plane in the sea. Not only this, but the German who shot him down came forward to own the kill. The irony was that Exupery was the Nazi pilot’s hero and had inspired him to fly in the first place. He had carried with him the fear and dread for all these years that he had shot down the writer/aviator and when they found the plane he knew from his flight log that it was his mission and his gun. Small world indeed.
Anyways the opening of Aakash’s show is thursday:

What Will I Say Next
Doing a little reading/presentation tonight and I’m sort of racking my brain to figure out what I want to say. Infact at the moment I’m reworking an old e-book in an attempt to make it fit a sort of improvised narrative I might (given enough courage) speak. Also, now that the collectibles book is done… have to make things out of a given constraint.

Another Green World
The Queen fled the Kingdom for a Baby Shower on the Shores of ManHat. So the King/fool had art classes mit kinder… I guess you’d call it Kinder Garten…. or kids in the garden… and we are stardust, we are golden and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.
It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it.
Zarathustra's Secret Garden
A vlog fooling with painting and Lou Reed and Bowie and thoughts on upcoming Royal Wylds music Video for Kimbo and some documentationof my work next to Crista Grauer’s at Artflux last week and just, you know, loving spring in Beautiful Sugar Mountain Brooklyn.
Orson Whales
This is more or less a birthday gift to myself. I’ve been drawing it on every page of Moby Dick (using two books to get both sides of each page) for months. The soundtrack is built from searching “moby dick” on You Tube (I was looking for Orson’s Preacher from the the John Huston film), I couldn’t find the preacer, but you find tons of Led Zep and drummers doing Bonzo and a little Orson reading from the Novel for a failed Italian T.V. film…… makes for a nice Melville in the end.

Butterflew
the Library project based vid Butterfly (A collab of A. Saunders, Raszka and Me) made the the daily reel top ten last week and since I’m below water working on Moby Dick, I thought I’d repost it along with a new Book Collab from Caroline VK of The Library project. The infinite butter.
