New sticker design for my pals in San Fran.
A fun one to draw.
I always like doing stuff for friends.
Friendship over everything
Most absurd design I've ever drawn....
But it's fun, and it was fun to do, and that's really all that matters!

"I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles" Walt Whitman
Took this photo the other day and it seemed fitting to accompany it with a quote from W.W, and Leaves of Grass in particular
That sinking feeling when someone you work with sends you a line from one of your poems.....🤢
Nope, England supporter

PREORDER (31.08.2025):
Adam Barrett’s The First Thirty Years EP is a taut, propulsive collection that fuses poetic memoir with political indictment, navigating masculinity, class, and grief through the lens of North East England.
www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...
A vibrant, abstract illustration resembling a symmetrical, plant-like organism rendered in crayon-textured orange, yellow, red, green, and blue occupies the centre of a tan background. The title and author’s name appear at the top in dark red serif text, with the publisher’s name at the bottom in a lighter red.
Introduction as present assessment Texas Blind Salamander Feelings was my second book after Vertical Rainbow Climber the latter being my first foray into print. Its total content has remained obscured and thought lost for the greater part of forty years. During that period I was empowered by the lingual pulsation that inscribed the work of Bob Kaufman. Aime Cesaire, Octavio Paz, and the lingual/visual grammar of Roberto Matta. Writhing in the wake their collective psychic torrent I began to improvise my own lingual element that had been self-seasoned by my own subliminal tonic inspired by ingesting their essence. Not empowered by principles condoned by rote recall but absorption in the depths of my own imaginative arc as it burgeoned from my own lingual foundation. This document accessed from present distance seemed as one of inevitability. As I go over the original manuscript there were indeed oddities and mixtures that in present seeing having now lost any personal patriotism concerning any personal priority as regards the original scripting. Indeed, the language continues to possess interest for me and persists as susurration not unlike that of unfixed glass capable of forming into fresh shape and formation. In this sense I am reviving Lorca’s adage to allow the work time to mature in light of a more mature and lingually balanced maturation. My thanks to the little known Texas Blind Salamander who dwells from birth via blindness in the San Marcos Pool of the Edwards Aquifer native to San Marcos, Hays County Texas. Hearing its curious odyssey immediately propelled me along what I consider a blind automatic expression paralleling what I know of the interesting shapes that blind photographers visually inscribe. Here after protracted sublimation these works have arisen as a new unexpected formation.
The spirit of the opening section as well as throughout the field of the volume more akin to the little known Peruvian abstractionist Fernando de Sysyslo alive with his mysterious colorful magnetic. They emanate via a vocabulary of inner whirlwinds, fractionless novae, never by some distilled pedantic. A field that emanates spontaneous blazing. Not as oblate emblems poised by sterile structural incessance but a structural somnambulism cognitively rendered by a neutral tapestry that condones its own alacrity by lessening. Not in these works the colorless neural register of Robert Motherwell that transpires symbolized by his great work ( )* that I continue to admire. But the praxis of colored works of de Syslyslo seems shadowed by coloured field that continuously roils the imaginal of fields of late Vlamincik not as some strict coherence, but via irregular provenance. The latter power has prevailed implied by the forces of this eyeless Salamander known to the general mind as the Texas Bl
The Dust of Green Infinity Callipers A voluptuous nightingale of rum solar osmosis causing moon pressure spleens of yellowed tar morph to darkened camphor enjambment embracing me with the dust of green infinity calipers your being an arc of ghostly cunning being scores & scores of manipulated edens being demonic crosses ingrained in your complication via a darkened valley of diamonds not unlike an eel that swims through an arch of sound like a Cassowary magnet burning like a golden sun under water being a dietetic aurum being cobalt samsaras tied to inky eyelid astonishment
PREORDER (31.08.2025):
Will Alexander’s Texas Blind Salamander Feelings is a recovered early work whose language pulses with hallucinatory velocity and psychic intensity.
