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.

/>I can still hear the lyrics echo from this arrow in the Old Town Square of 
Gothic Czech Republic…“I am Iron man.”
