I think your right Gemini, usually all I have to do is sit down with paint and pallet and go to it...things just pour out... and lately too much stuff is going on... I could do a running of all the tters...w/their trail name of course.

Hey clem, I got an idea for you to get you out of your painters slump. Dip your brush in liberal amounts of paint while watching a John Kerry speech, and see if your paintbrush can keep up with each flip and flop as he talks. Get ready for some quick action. If the painting doesn't come out that great, at least you got some good wrist excercise in the process. Good luck.

WEll Buck that would work if I was really into Kerry, I would rather not listen to him just a like a bad singer I push mute or turn the chanel.

When I blanked I used to do blind contour drawings of one of my hands in my sketchbook or go take polaroid photos of random things.

When that happens to me, I just get a quart of tequila and a box of crayons.

I tend to produce a lot of "art" during those episodes.

Listen to music or watch a really emotional movie. Brings the emotional creativity to the surface. Maybe a weekend hike to get perspective?

Tell ya what. You set up on the square in Charlotte and I'll come down from Ohio with my guitar and I'll wear nothing but boots, a cowboy hat and my new polypro undies and pose for my portrait and we'll BOTH make some money! The Singing Naked Cowboy of Charlotte!

"See, we can agree on something!"

Yes, we will always have the Naked Cowboy to bind our souls together I guess.

"Hmmm all depends on how much embellishment I have to do...you know it may be a bigger charge!"

Ok! OK! Make it $40 then!
