ABOVE'S EUROPEAN TRAVELS, 2005. PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC.

"I was warned previously by friends, and other travelers that Prague is a hard city to visit because once you arrive its hard to leave. I found this statement to be true as well. Prague has a fun setup of labyrinth like streets that loop around the Old town Square and the centre of town. Getting lost down small and windy streets was a common and enjoyable experience. There was some trouble in the streets again but not from the police this time rather from the large and numerous herds of tourists that swarm, and surround you from all angles. I'm not sure whats worse being trapped in jail or between large groups of tourists. At least in Jail you get your own cell and a meal.

*Big thanks to Pash for your hospitality."

It was "T" time when this photo was taken. Not much Earl Grey in this one.


When you walk down the street and see this guy hanging there it's almost believable. One of the most creative and wicked statues I've ever seen. Don't let go.



Symmetry creates a balance and equality in its subjects.
A lot of fun was had painting this piece. When one side gets out of shape the other has to mimic its form. Racecar, and Yreka Bakery are both Palindromes which means it can be read both forward and back wards to read as the same word. I suppose this painting could fit into the Palindrome category because you can also read this forward and back wards. Cut it right down the middle and check it out. Call me crazy (or out of balance like this piece) but I like to use my imagination and visualize walking through this wall, then turning around to see the same words staring back at me.


I remember making these plain colored fabrics come to life. Lined the arrows up on the floor and Rocked Black Sabbaths' Paranoid album full blast. Pollock might not have agreed but damn was it fun throwing paint all over the room carelessly.


I can still hear the lyrics echo from this arrow in the Old Town Square of Gothic Czech Republic..."I am Iron man."
