Art is where you put it

About Me

Dashell & Kloog Episode 001 Dashell & Kloog Episode 002I am quietly and unintrusively fucked up. Politely skewed, maybe. Soto Voce madness, as it were.

It's a good thing my super strings are hardy little fuckers vibrating with a fury and vengeance in an effort to fight the quantum goo gumming up the cosmic works.

I'm a monkey on a rock near a star in a constellation in a galaxy near some other galaxies in a Universe which comes in handy for giving me a place to hang my bananas. I'm a lucky monkey. A simian of good fortune. A primate in good standing, glad handing evolution and coveting a rinky dink civilization.

Making films in the local Toledo Ohio area. I welcome all talents from all disciplines to collaborate with. I'll travel anywhere but Texas to make a movie. Texas is no good for me. Some very disparaging and public remarks I made about Chuck Norris makes it diffiult to get around that state without altercations with the locals.

My Interests

monkeys, pajamas but not pajama people, monkeys in pajamas, secret societies, secret societies in pajamas, club feet, cosmic rays, baked bean teeth, colostomy bags, the filthy finger, flying the filthy finger, and circular logic

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is intelligently irreverent without being belligerantly inept.

Really, what is art to the artist? Nothing more than a receipt for the time spent as a blip of cosmic dust in the ether of existence.

When the whims have it. When there's never a we, but always an I and a you. When everyone is to blame.

I want tea with Archimedes. I want brunch with Tesla. I want toast with Henry Miller. I want dinner with Miro. I want a fistfight with Freud. I want to dream with Jung. I want to goose Mother Theresa. I want to bitch slap Ghandi. I want to spit on the pope. I want to commit grand larceny with Thompson. I want to enter the mental freezone with Robbins. I want to play chess with Duchamp. I want to bend wisdom and good sense with Ernst. I want to pee drunkenly in the forest with Picasso. I want to fart arpeggios and belch stacato with Rasputin.

Some minds recoil at the absence of sorrow. Some toil in the light of happiness. Some sway somewhere in between.
