JOURNAL

EVERY TIME WE MAKE A WORK OF ART WE PUT A DOCUMENT OF IT HERE IN THIS JOURNAL FOR A JAPANESE DOCUMENTARIAN FILM MAKER SO THEY CAN MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THIS ARTIST IN THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE THEN WE CAN GO TO JAPAN, HOPEFULLY NOT SO LATE IN LIFE THAT IS A CRUEL IRONY. MOST PEOPLE BESIDES JAPANESE PEOPLE EVER GET TO GO TO JAPAN. WE UNDERSTAND, BUT WE GENUINELY WANT TO GO TO SEE THE COUNTRY AND OUR FRIEND NOBU.

This was a strange period in life. Interesting now to note that the problems of that day are gone and replaced by ones that sometimes keep me up at night while I write this now, nearly two years later. Not the least of which being the inherent futility of sharing one’s artwork. Taking a self portrait is artwork. Also I hear all the voices that call this vain, and related to some combination of stupidity and too many brain injuries. All the same it’s a good photograph. It looks like a Russian person who is mean and difficult to reach.
