2024 June It Wasn’t Murder, It Was Involuntary Bug Slaughter Until I Mercy Killed the Bug

Black earring in the pink Doctor Servin earlobe a live dying bug
Flew onto this canvas sodden w gouache & acrylic ink in clear Elmer’s glue
Landed at the top, dragged its ass down to the bottom, made it too
a dry spot – that orange blood trail to the left of the south Jersey
ear, the brush was the bug – and stuck, exhausted, in pain and desperately
scared, flapping its wings as I type this – wait a second – I say mercy
but what would anyone say if accused of an unwitnessed murder

2024 January Killing Horses for Art

Just reminded that Arches Watercolor Paper, cold press used above on something abandoned last night before I fuck it up, uses gelatin from slaughtered horses to create the retained brilliance of pigments (especially white) more after drying than cheaper watercolor paper, in protest I won’t buy anymore tonight!

Outside now twenty degrees, single-digit windchill and the ground covered in ice and snow and I’m wearing leather shoes and I won’t eat Arches Watercolor Paper, I can slough into my closet of constantly revised and updated My Sillyass Deserted Island Five Game of infamies in the history of my complicities, That should be my epitaph, says Km’pec, drinking his poisoned blood wine

2023 July Deck of Hexjeff Project Done, Commence the Hexjeff Tapes

I am a hotter
mess than I know and I know
You have no idea

nor me about you
Painters tape doesn’t absorb
water, I’d forgot

I hadn’t tried it
since last night. I’m not taking
but tablet and pens

to Maine, I don’t
think of tablet as canvas
Jeff, fuckee, work that

2023 July 7

I have been using painters’ tape for a month or more but always removed it, this is the first that I deliberately left on. I’ve added the category Painters’ tape and will use it whenever I use painters tape whether I leave it on or take it off, and I’ve also added the category Acrylic Paint Pen, which I have used before also, and I will tag every time I use one. I will not go back and retroactively tag my previous omissions of either
