I just went through what's possibly two years of old illustration work for my impending website redesign. I had no idea that there was just soooo much shit that I've done...it's a little scary going through it all.
Now the next few days are basically going to be all about trimming, cropping...all that crap. But basically going through all this stuff...seeing what's good. Seeing what sucks. Basically going through my life's work.
It reminded me of a moment I had when I first moved out. I stuffed my van full of all my shit, got ready to move...and realized, wow. Everything fits in one van. That's all that there is to me. How compact...
It's like, when I think of me, I think of myself spaced out over a period of 28 years. When I'm forced to condense myself, however...well.
I fit in a van. Just like my career fits onto 4 DVDs.
It's a weird thought. It's a thought that makes me pause, that makes me want to blow up the outside world. It's a metaphysical moment.
Anyways...guess it's time for me to smoke some cigarettes and get all french or somethin'. Back to my coffee break...la dee da!

But i do appreciate the fact that you think i have the spirit of an artist
I think perhaps we are both a little hard on ourselves.
Our own worst critics?
For years i listened to rumor after rumor regarding who would play Edie...in the film.
And yet, the film never came.
The tragedy to me is that she did possess some talent to a certain degree....drawing, sculpting, etc.
I always felt that had she gotten her shit together, she very well could have been quite the supermodel of her time.
Much more beautiful than Twiggy, and very relaxed in front of the camera.
I don't know who the hell in hollywood could play her!
And i think the years before her death....she actually wanted to get better, and was somewhat craving some type of "Normalcy" in her life. Is that even a word? well, you know what i mean.
I love the book, because it could have been written as some cheap flamboyant bio on some 60's chick, who hung out with the fast crowd and lived life a bit too dangerously.
And yet, the book made her very real, a human with a lot of flaws, but a real zest for life, and a much bigger heart than most would expect.
