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.

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.

Gothic Czech Republic…“I am Iron man.”
