Taking hot baths kills sperm inside a man’s scrotum is what miss
bingley my science teacher told us in fifth grade, so I haven’t bathed much
since then. I couldn’t even if I wanted to seeing as I don’t have a bathroom in
my home, I resort to showering at 24 hour fitness and strange hotels. That is
where I’m at now, a strange hotel not more than 5 minutes ago is too much to
contain in ROME ITALY , and the discovery I have just made so I must share it
with you here and now. Now I haven’t bathed in years, I shower somewhat but I
can’t remember the last time I drew a bath. But being on tour gets you
especially dirty and I wanted to keep reading my magazine so I decided to take a
bath. I was in there for what must’ve been over an hour way paste pruney, but
the article was so in depth I forgot, only when it looked like my fingers and
toes had aged a century and the skin looked like it was gonna slide off the
bone
did I decide to drain the water. But I didn’t get out, I finished the
last two sentences of the article threw it out and then I watched and observed,
slowly the water level dropped, my knees, appeared than my chest then my gut,
then my ding dong, I was lying naked in the tub listing to the last of the water
spin out. Now I haven’t been a starving artist for quite a bit and I put on 40
pounds after I got out of jail, so you could say I’m fat so I don’t know if this
will make any sense to skinny people. But what happened next brought such joy
and tremendous glee to my face. I was lying wet and naked in the tub and as I
finally decided to get up my lower back had suctioned to the tub floor and when
I lifted my back the most inhuman tremendous flatulent sound came out of my
lower back. I was shocked and amazed, was it a fluke? I tried it again even
better. MyLan came in to see what the heel I was doing, my farts were no
surprise to her. I couldn’t believe it I felt as if I just invented dipping dots
or stepped onto Jupiter. Did everyone know about this? And I was the last one. I
stayed till the end of the movie and I got my surprise, yes!!!! I stayed and
made fart noises come out of my back until the people below called hotel
security
and my back was purple. The reason why I’m telling you this
retarded story about my glorious discovery, is because this is the closest
example I can think of, of the feelings that ran through me the first time I
discovered the art of the men below. I was astounded and I wanted more. I felt
as if I was seeing the best art ever. And I might abuse that phrase several
times in my descriptions, but it’s only because you know it’s true and also my
limited vocabulary. I know all these fine gentlemen they are a meeting of some
of the greatest living painters today possibly ever. some of them get the
respect they deserve but most of them don’t, there’s a huge influx of art that
is NIEVE, badly drawn or just plain shitty. I like some of it but most of it
sucks . this is a celebration of draftsmanship and illustrating expressions of
the heart mind and soul. Renderings and pushing pigments with the best of them.
These are my soothsayers. The truth is in and between the lines. There is soul
in these brush strokes and the strokes don’t lie. Please enjoy
