A scan from an art pad that I then blew up, printed out and tried to paint in a cohesive manner onto a canvas - it didn't work so i painted over it somewhat and did something else, which i can't quite remember, but it looked good and is on a wall somewhere ask i type - haha fools!!! Maybe it is my wall - shit...
I got some advice about quitting smoking that has seemed to stick in my craw - the advice comes from the Alan Carr book, that book that I have derided in the past and which seems now to be the best possible solution to my giving up problem - but the advice came from somebody else in a reformulated way - not that the concept, the kernel, of this advice is hard to understand, I just never saw the importance of it after I read the Carr book but now believe it to be the essence of quitting for good. My friend said to me that every cigarette being smoked ultimately makes you want to smoke the next one - so to break the chain, I must concentrate on that final cigarette and then afterwards convince myself that i am a happy nonsmoker. Simple, heh?

Some days are better than others.
It's difficult to realize how many of the works I produce are just purely inspirational i.e. automatic, and how many possess any degree of skill. Is there any difference between the two? I have seen many works where this line is undoubtedly blurry.
And so, the days that I realize that nothing of what I do holds any sense of skill or merit, are the days that I want to just give up. Other days I am drunk :-)

more pen work from the boredom box - oh where was i sitting when this was preformed? Maybe on the bus or walking to the corner shop to buy a pack of tabs.

another piece done in the same light - this time on a piece of copenhagen council stationary - will i get busted for copyright?
