In with the old


It's nice to look back and see the things i've done, I very proud if them, they all speak to me. These days in a different way. I was thinking of re doing some of the work, especially the ones i did not have the facility to capture back in the day. Or maybe it was the lack of patience. I still am inpatient, i throw my work around, write haphazardly, which annoys my writing partner (sorry Ms,Knight) and my new theatre Partner who loves correcting grammer and all things ineffecient.
these are a few pieces,,, actually the ones a show now is one piece i cut into four( don't ask .I can't understand.)this is #1 top left hand corner.

The progress of work


yahoooooooo, yesterday A new theatre company hit the stage. Theatre Hullabaloo starteed by Deanna Dobie and Myself, was officially registered in Quebec. We are very excited, we are planning to set up a thoughtful, provocative and entertaining theatrical experience for our audience. That being said I would like to welcome all of you to come an visit us and our work. we will be setting up a website in the near future. please stay tuned. first production will be "Dogg Show."
okay ! the progress of the work; Althea Knight suggested I photograph the work as it moves along a great idea so here is the continuation. I did not put the size of it. it is 70"x96" yeah pretty big ,but you have to see it. what is fantastic is the things seen in it. I am loving this.

Inertia,- hope- faith.


(expression lest a reason. mixed media.)
Crash and burn. Lately I fell off the high of doing stuff. I began to believe that people look at merit, even though I know this not to be the case. It's about networks and friendships(and I use that word loosely.) Time and time again I end up looking at people who have less background in the creative process and more time in the coffee/cigarette break moments,they seem to get the gigs. While I sit wondering if my work is lacking. It is hurtful. After crying in my soup, the only thing I can do is get myself up for the down stroke. continue doing the things I love. work toward the things I believe is right. As Steve Job says "Every day look in the mirror and ask yourself, If I were to die today, would i be doing what I'm doing?"

Another

I was thinking the other morning, sun breaking through the clouds, birds chirping. For some reason ,I got to thinking about black history month. this is good usually I remember about two minutes before an event, and start to panic that i don't have something to do. this summer I am planning an event, not just for that colder than cold Febuary, but for myself. here it is . Every B.H.M, I think about what does it mean to be black. Not the old school black. No. Whats the idea of the new black, I know black is the new black. so for this Febuary coming up I would like to see everyone create work which talks about this new being.
If you would like to work on a project for that cold cold month, based on the idea sign up... i'd like to hear from you. It seems a long way away ,but really it will creep up on you lke it does every year. This year be prepared.
