  Watched a bio on Keith Haring last night...and realized my el marko icons are of his school! he seemed like a nice fellow. Well meaning, intelligent, hard working, creative, great brush and paint handler, improvisationalist. This drawing was inspired by Jim Haas's Blues Ruminations. Yknow, how Wolf sings 'my left hand's itchin'? he and others have also sung of the eye movement that is predictive. jv

 Mission Hill Gas Lights Wheezing in the morning  stewing all in it wheezing cloud of  power plant particulates the gaslight hums down on Shepard St  where the bikers would party where the cobblestones dont answer the phone and the mass art people were mass art arty the gaslight hums on Folsom   DeQuinceian glowing the brothers open the door in millimeters slowly and the gaslight hums at Flann Obrien's alley where George feeds the flocking birds St Francis in his sandals the gaslight hums on.

  So last night, Star Trek was really good. StarTrek Next Generation? No, the regular, vanilla plain Star Trek, classic, original.  Season Two. Episode Two. They're flying through space, you know, and this big hand, gigantic hand, comes out at them.  And then when they study it, they say, well, it's not a hand .. doesn't have any flesh. It's some kind of energy field. And the hand just stops the Enterprise and starts squeezing it  Spock is looking at the scanner, and then he puts the cycle in the frequency, and they're talking to the thing over their futuristic TV phone wall display, and a face appears, and it's Apollo, from the Greek myths. He has their ship in doldrums. Anyway, the long and the short of it is, in the end, they discovered that what the original Greek myth figures were - were aliens who landed in the Mediterranean in ancient times, and, you know, left some stories for people, and then took off.  I don’t like when people suggest that Indigenous c...

 Adding Pete Welding's interview with Al Wilson to our Blues Poetics Collection. Rolling Stone Interview Just Those Five Notes: An interview by Pete Welding To those fortunate enough to have known him, a conversation with the late Al Wilson could be a stimulating experience. While best known as Canned Heat’s rhythm guitarist, harmonica player, chief arranger-composer and occasional (but always completely satisfying) vocalist. Alan was a keen and perceptive student of the blues whose comments on the music, its stylistic development and esthetics were always penetrating and full of insight. The illuminate, for example his meticulous, extensively documented musicological studies of country bluesman Son House and Robert Pete Williams, which must stand among the finest products of recent folksong scholarship. And too, they reveal Alan’s deep compassionate concern with the people behind the music. He was above all, a humanist. Nor were his activities confined solely to the blues, for his...

  October marks the 20th Year of Jack Vaughan's Moon Traveller Herald Blog. Featuring here some drawings from the site. I could imagine this might be incidental art for a podcast. Attemmpt at a daily comic. Middle panel shows me as I picture myself in my office. Mitt Romney drawn via Etchesketch. Helping foreigners in the Dallas Airport, I reimagined the Boarding Pass. Ed Bride garnered me the works of MoonDog. I made a cover for the cassette. Gifs provide Animation for Everyone. In these days I would have to do the coding. In the wake of 911 things changed. I tried to work with charcoal pens. This actually predates the World Wide Web. It imagines JP Morgan visiting Egypt. I was remembering Soulville Record Store in Racine. Jack and Norman had the Keys to the Kingdom. Also in Racine, the Journal Times truck would drop off the papers and Timmy Egan would fold them to throw. He'd let me ride my bike along with him on his route. Distribution of News circa 1957. Imagined Bob Dylan ...
