More Tulips
Man...I have been so busy. At the moment I'm
trying to keep 3 blogs on the go. (This one, my
work history one:
and another for the local tourism group in
town.) They in turn want me to do another blog
for the Art, Culture and Cafe centre I am currently
running. I'm not whinging, I just want someone to
pay me $500 every time I post a drawing so I can
just concentrate on that.
Keep dreaming!
Anyhow...this is a tulip sniffer from Z twist art blogspot.

Phil & Mandi
Well Phil & Mandi, you asked for it you got it!
Yeah folks, I know I've been slack at Bumnut
for the first time (but I doubt the last!) but I've
been busy in my other life as a father of four
with my own business and a wife who also needs
time to run her yoga studio so some stuffs been
put on slow burn.
But I need to draw, so I wouldn't sweat it...
(Who am I kidding, no one gives a rats left nut.)

Left hand shadow
They poison our water
and sell us fresh stuff
that's contained in a byproduct
of our passion for instant gratification.
Deny the profit the right
take what is left
while being centered
and hard core.
They think we are a commodity
to be bought and sold
and we willingly comply
so that we might have a turn at buying and selling.
We are not consumers
but the consumed
Sale Sale Sale
everything is for sale.
Crop circles are not made by artful dodgers
Drugs are everywhere while herbs are rare
Someone knows what the truth is
but how we view existence is secular.
The right to dismantle secret life
is mine
I live with no lie
but live right.

Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV
The vanishing spies
Just something I read
A couple of eyes
From out of the head
And all that was said
Was that's just how some things don't materialize
Could be they broke
And swam like a bird
Fear of spooking the folk
With talk of the third
Or maybe the third
Played a joke
Give me a blip
And I'll totally flip
Say it's nothing but sky
And I'll be a lonely guy

Playing in the Field
Well once upon a time in 1776 Thomas Jefferson
signed his name on a piece of marijuana,
and this document was a symbol of freedom
and of liberty, at least for the rich, white, gentry.
And time marched along, this plant that I
referred to has been used for everything from
medicine to the American flag.
And now it seems to me that somewhere along
the way things got messed up, yeah, messed up,
for marijuana.
A gift of God to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana…the government wants to test
me when I pee. (Phish.)

Highlights
Sometimes when I have drawn for my blog
I think what would folk like to see me draw.
That's when I slap myself hard across the face
and come to the realisation that I'm not drawing
for anyone but me!
It's just that with the evolution of the drawing
tablet, I can share my drawings with anyone
who chooses to view them but that is not the
reason I draw.
I have been drawing stuff all my life.
It's just that those doodles would end up in
a bottom drawer somewhere and would be
thrown out every time I moved, which was Lot's.
When doing those drawings, I wasn't showing them
to anybody.
Why would I.
They have no purpose for anyone else and really,
I'm not that good.
So for me to ever be hung up on style or looks or
other formulas to garner respect or a hundred
followers is shallow and ego driven.
I draw because I need to!
For me to waste a talent, no matter how meager,
is to deny my voice from having expression.
I don't necessarily understand that voice,
but I do obey it.

Travelling swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced breathing out listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya
And that you'd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Travelling swallowing dramamine
Look at your face like you're killed in a dream
And you think you've figured out everything
I think I know my geometry pretty damn well
You say what you need so you'll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I said and you know what
I meanBut I can't still focus on anything

Old Bob
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head
are glowing.
Distant ships sailing into the mist,
You were born with a snake in both of your fists
while a hurricane was blowing.
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off,
what good will it do?

Ian
Someone take these dreams away,
That point me to another day,
A duel of personalities,
That stretch all true realities.
That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.
Where figures from the past stand tall,
And mocking voices ring the halls.
Imperialistic house of prayer,
Conquistadors who took their share.

Lament
Transfixed by the moment
Iridescent wound inside
Sing a silent song of lament
While Looking for somewhere to hide
Transform the dark emotion
Built from saving your face
Aligning the connotations
Help your fall from grace
The class action law suit
Woven from the tattered remanent
The cashay of loot
Hidden but never spent
Cast the eyes sideways
Looking for the quick escape
Have tried all the byways
The friends fears you rape
Wove the clock hands forward
Smash the bridge with the block
Stand up in the psycho ward
Facing electric shock.

LS Girl.
When dots appear.
When I draw from an image off the Internet
I label it "from image", I always draw freehand
and treat my drawing tablet as if it was paper.
When I label it "from image/original" it means
that I have used a drawing as a point of reference,
or totally screwed up the "from image" look I was
after.
And if I have to explain original for you,
you ain't too bright.

Model face
Models...Sheesh! When I was drawing this I
was thinking the nose was a bit peculiar and
that the lips where looking kinda' weird.
But once I had finished and un-objectively viewed
it I realised that models are, as a rule, a bit
peculiar and kinda' weird...
But, Hay' that's cool, cause so am I. Peculiar and
weird that is, not a model.

The Red Menace
The red menace.
You haven’t lived like me son
I smoked cigarettes like every one
Fought in a war that you didn’t support
Always have my crew cut short.
Never would I back down from a fight
There was never a time I was not right
Tough as nails when I was your age
Full of righteousness and rage.
There was never a time I was not right
Tough as nails when I was your age
Full of righteousness and rage.
I once had a wife a doting sweet old girl
She would cook and clean in a flutter and a whirl
Pick me up at the R.S.L. when I was pissed
My tucker always hot even when dinner was missed.

Pick me up at the R.S.L. when I was pissed

How I miss those meals of gravy and meat
And the three veg that I would never eat
Mmmmm, Her gravy always made off the fat
Its impossible now to get food as good as that.
And the three veg that I would never eat
Mmmmm, Her gravy always made off the fat

And I sneer at the likes of you with your ideals
As I drive around crippled on my little wheels
You want to be healthy to see your grandkids grow
Well my family lives close but they never make a show.

My pain is real and my life has been hard
And I accept that I was dealt the wrong card
My doctor said that we all will break down
So you keep on living healthy you clown.

Joy never made anyone live any longer
Pain is inevitable and it only makes you stronger
I’ll keep living how I am used to nothing will change
I’m the one who is normal you’re the one who is strange.

Beer is my salvation and fried meat my taste
With out these things my life is a waste
My pension sees me through so I do what I like
As long as I can get there on my disability bike.

Skate Boarding
Feeling nostalgic.
I used to skateboard in my youth.
My knees were always covered in scabs or band aids,
I was always bare foot and helmets where unheard of,
even for riding a bike.
I started on a slick plastic board in the late 70's and
bought a fat board in 1980. I could nearly do three
360's, I could tic-tak from one end of Australia to
the other and it was not unheard of for me to drop
of 4ft drops and land with skin intact.
My shorts were board-shorts that never touched
the knees, my t-shirts over large and my hair long.
I was never cool.
