  • I TOOK THE LIBERTY TO LIVE IN ABJECT POVERTY WHEN i DIDN;T HAVE TO WHILE A YOUNGER MAN. I LIVED IN A PALAPA ON THE BEACH AND COOKED OVER A FIRE IN THE CORNER OF MY SAND FLOORED ROOM. I SLEPT IN A HAMMOCK AND ATE INDIGENOUS FOODS AND SMOOTHING FOR BREAKFAST EVERYDAY AND GOT SPIRITUAL RIGHT AFTER BREAKFAST. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE HAMMOCK AND READ MANY LATIN AMERICAN POETS AND WROTE AND WROTE. I LOVED MY LIFE AND NEVER WOULD HAVE LEFT BUT FOR THE INFLUX OF TOURISTS THAT CONTINUED TO TRY AND BEFRIEND ME. I PREFERED THE MAYANS. I WAS AT PEACH AND LOVE MY LIFE. WOKE TO A LOVELY BREEZE AND BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRLS ASKING ME IF I CARED TO BUY FRESH STRAWBERRIES AND THEN FISH IN THE AFTERNOON. A LOVELY LIFE

  • 2008 pen on paper my little van gogh tribute, i was looking at a book of all his drawings, saw the thatch roofs, reminded me of when i was a little kid.

  • Oasis on the beach at Kino Bay in Sonora Mexico. The sign is a large menu that reads Cocos, Helado con callo, Camaron, Cacahuate, Chaca-Chaca … Muy Ricos! Chaca Chaca has many references including a dance, a song & type of Catfish, but here in Sonora it’s a main dish created from Machaca which is a type of dried meat. I could crop quite a few interesting photos from this scene including the hand painted sign, interesting architectural details and the roof between the restaurant area and block storage shed which is made from old road signs and sheets of cardboard.
