there’s this project called “advocate” going slow slowly and part of me is apprehensive about exposing this much of myself in a very short form but anyway, it’s one of those things that most people won’t maybe catch what’s between the lines or maybe you all will, actually you will because you’re all very bright and sweet
anyway, along with the chap book being printed at @bitokkou feels like it needs a colophon card as a little “something something”
i remembered a sketch from my stacks of notebooks I filled during that time and one remembered only rendered in pencil turned out to be filled with colour yet still ‘unfinished’ as nothing has ever finished anyway
goofing around made a black-and-white version on watercolor paper, uncropped to the postcard size and sitting with it for a few days I’m starting to like it this way as invites you to finish
fo you see the water carafe on the table? The lizard up on the wall? The window out into trees (there was a man washing his cow but you can’t see that bit) extra pillows, my rumpled sheets
this was my world for three weeks trying to come back to life. the colours didn’t seem to fit my memory somehow yet was a place which was saturated in creamsicle hues
now i see this and i also see a little bit of a painting by someone else who painted a bed in a bedroom filled with intention and hope
