Show for the Stinson Beach Library Gallery
I am showing some of my books ( I’ve completed over 60 and stopped counting years ago) I can’t wait to see several of them all together.
July 1st. I install the show Library is Open Mon 10-6, Tues. 12-8, Fri. 10-6, Sat. 10 -5 because
The front pages are replete with painted drawings while the back sides have photos in collage form along with writings. Some books open as far as 7 feet wide.
The books are about New Orleans and it’s French Quarter Festival, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco and numerous other musical events, Horses of Bolinas, places, and so much more. It was so hot that my pencil started to melt but I kept on drawing and used photos for additional images. I’m really looking forward to this solo show because I will see several books together for the fist time and they will be among Books. I would really love you my friends to come and see me and my art. I need to see more friends!

Memories.
I made it to Western weekend and ended up being the first one in our KWMR group as I carried the radio that Zim Caroselli and I made years ago. It was up on the shelf at the studio it got down and everybody seemed to really enjoy it. The parade really turned out to be great that was such a surprise because it was all different. I did miss the animals and the dancing horses and the displaced ranchers and their cows etc.

Saturday I went to NO KINGS DAY demonstration which I haven’t done since a few when I was in the Art institute in SF getting my masters degree. I was never a demonstration person however this was amazing at Tam Junction they were 500 people including my Pataphysical friends that got me to come and I’m so glad I did. it was so hopeful and all these cars are passing us and beeping at us and hardly anybody but one guy gave us the. The words on the signs we’re amazing and so spread out and covering all aspects of what’s going wrong with you know who.
Fabrice Florin wrote & I stole parts.This rally was exceptional in many ways. Nearly 500 engaged participants filled the sidewalks in front of Floodwater and Holiday Inn with creative signs, art, chants and music. We had a captive audience of hundreds of cars stalled in traffic near the off-ramps of Highway 101 at the Stinson Beach exit. They loved our displays and honked continuously, with big smiles on their faces and lots of thumbs up. Many rolled down their windows to yell their support. The positive energy was contagious and we clearly made an impact, reaching a couple thousand people in just a few hours. People chanted along with us, scolded our Trump puppet, posed for selfies in front of the float, and danced to the tune of the toe-tapping “No Kings Song,” which we played over and over, at their request. I looked up but there were about 20 of them listed on the web. Freddy found the great song NO KINGS IN THE USA Lyrics by Cory Choy.I also heard that this was the largest protest ever formed anywhere US for sure. I actually felt a little hopeful and happy.
Here I am with the eight-year-old poster waiting for Trump to be impeached I can’t believe I had to bring it out again it makes me kind of want to puke. It made others look.
I was so tired after I could not work on anything so I actually stopped at Safeway, really they had Sushi shrimp fresh made and it was great for on the way to the Hoopla! Circus Bella. It was so fresh, funny and fun. Our local drummer Michael Pinkham seemed to be leading the circus band. Maybe he ran away with the circus. It was great
Feel free share with me. Please tell me if you got it more than one time. If you want to get off my private, once a month, email just tell me I will do my best.
