Sometimes I get mixed up in the braincogs. Ususally this is a result of something, or someone, challenging my perceptions of life, love and/or the universe. This is a good thing, but it does take time for me to process, analyse and rationalise the information. Much like mixing up the outputs of an audio device so that the sounds come out of the wrong speakers, or someone posing riddles in a previously unknown, indeciferable language. At first it sounds kind of right but you soon realise it's tripe. It has to be said that I do normally make sense of these things in the end, in varying degrees of time and depth but unfortunately sometimes it is too late. Better late than never, as they say. 'They' being pensioners who only talk in cliches.
All of the above is little other than the quacking of a man who has been held prisoner by a sling for 2 weeks. Not to say it is nonsense but only that when a man has too much time on his hand, then he tends to think on overtime and talk about himself in the third person. I find it incredibly important to try to understand the things we do and the way we interact, because it is only by understanding detail and nuaince that the smallest, most intricate simplicities can be appreciated as they should be. Life becomes beautiful.
So anyway...the only way I have of stopping myself from talking and thinking like this is being creative and letting out emotion and ideas via various childish passtimes. My favourite of these is spraying things on walls. Second favourite is playing with crayons.
So me and CUSP have been decorating the corridor in the Kings pub in Barrow. I have been at it for ages but CUSP joined me for the first time today...... today has been mint. My first attempt at freehanded pieceness (left the stencils at home, they weren't best pleased) with the purple 'cloud'. The 'highway to hell' and 'stairway to heaven' brief is continued with my attempt at evilness and CUSP's jesus piece. It's gonna take us ages but if Sunday is anything to go by, then it's going to be amazing. I have to say I'm well pleased with how it's looking.
It also helps lots with keeping me level. Actually, so does writing down nonsense on here in a previously unknown, indeciferable language.
Come down and check it out.
Some negative spaces which are ridiculously pleasing....gonna be part of a crown of thorns.
Early outline from the CUSPER
Little later outline from CUSP...trust me this is gonna be immense
