Mr. Patchpaste & Curly Fry




d 9/15 '011 Th

Two 'long neglected' otherworld helpers i am seeing for the first time ---

In the white background to the right, Mr. Patchpaste, dancing, long time dancing, always 'on', straining to attract his due attention. His body is white paste, patched in places like an old pair of pants. He wears black polished leather 'Sunday' shoes which repeatedly toe the floor. He needs to be (on waking, i do so in my mind) taken aside to rest at times.

Almost life size buffalo with golden polyfur & flat plastic, red 'cried out' eyes: he would show us all what he Sees, were he ever 'tended to'. Dub 'Curly Fry', on waking...pet, feed imagined nuggets from my hand.


[These sorts of characters will infrequently appear, usually only once, and fulsomely enough to become drawings at whatever point. Tho I tend to prefer letting them be, as the more loosely bounded figures of my insides. Perhaps, if unrendered, they'll reappear some night, or make their usefulness known beyond the initial morning and subsequent notes as the more open ended representatives of my personality they at first seem.




It's interesting that the one figure straining for attention needs a rest from it, while the other needs more. But both are undernourished].
