The Oxygen Tradesman

My brain thinks about itself

Nosey Hamlet

My self esteem is somewhat high
I feel like a pretty good guy
Today I spit rather far
And waved at a really old car

The Evaporators

Everyone around me loved the Mets
But I was more into the pets

The Towards

Run to my party
Birthday snake will be eaten
Balloons pop in slow motion
As heads start to sweeten

Room Mush

Mushroom Man
Sweet Mushroom Man
The kingdom of heaven is yours

When Autumn comes
You'll hear the drums
And lick the light pouring out of your sores

The Bursts

When his lower legs decided to leave him
He could not understand the rebellion down below
But when he later met them
He saw that it was just flowers wanting to grow

The Pinefish Pacifists

Never heard
But always loud
The sound of a party
Inside a cloud

Lawrence Bugstaff

Lawrence Bugstaff
Loves the smell of pine
Always running in the forest
Never home online

Chewer Of Hair

Hey, if you wanna chew hair
Be my guest
I'll even give you the spicy stuff
That grows upon my chest

Creepy Baby

Creepy when you're born

And creepy when you die
Creepy when you laugh
And creepy when you cry

Overbite Runner

Running from hot car seat vinyl

That burns his thighs when he sits down

The Investor

The Fruit Tree giveth to both the rich and the poor
Seek my good services and you shall harvest much, much more

Three Leaders

Three leaders.
All ruled well.
Their philosophy:
"A good land must have a good smell."

Tuner

"Stay Tuned!" said the autograph
From Bill's favorite rock star

The rock star later died
While smoking a cigar

The Inseperable 3

Together at rainy European rock festivals
With gentle urine rivers
Then back in hotel rooms
Watching rock stars destroy their livers

Christopher Pills

Christopher Pills had talent
Everything he touched became calm
I think it went to his head though
Because he demanded we start calling him "Mom"!

Mr. and Mrs. 25jx12 34w9.5j

One struggled with the big questions

And stared up towards the sky
The other thought about what ingredients
Would go into the next pie

Keyhole Penwish

I had a wife once
But now she's back with her mother
I still work for her dad
And party with her brother

Ping Pong Lion

If this chap seems too sweet

And simply won't turn off the charm
It's only because he wants me to draw him some feet
And maybe even just one arm

Eyes Wheel

When a woman begins dating
She must develop her wheel of eyes
There's no better way to go about
Spotting uncommitted guys

Sirs 60

Sirs 60 were, indeed, just that age.

Gulping is in their past
And now sipping is the rage!

Line Lovers

A few quick lines
Can create some lovers so fine!

Rooter

Everyone thinks Rooter is so calm and grounded

But I must disagree
Whenever we go into town
He behaves like a sailor just back from sea

The Face Of Steaks

The Face Of Steaks had to escape from dripping tongues and teeth.

It found a vegetarian's house with a vegetarian mouse who helped it hide quietly underneath.
"I'm so tired of eating vegetables! I feel so jittery and dry!" The old vegetarian moaned and the old vegetarian cried.
He pulled open the door to his basement floor and shouted,
"Well look what we have down here!
The Lord will certainly provide....The Lord will CERTAINLY provide!!!"

Piano Teeth

Made of moving colors

Hands inside a ball
Teeth like a piano
Some folks have it ALL!

A Friend!

When you're unable to start

And don't want things to end
Just pick up your favorite pen
And draw yourself a friend!

Collaboration: Brad-Drawing / Lotte-Color

Angry Wings

Just because you have eyes
Don't look at me!
I'm only standing here
Because you have tiny balls that see

Joan's Teeth

Joan's Teeth were nothing more than a stock market graph
Every time she smiled I saw my earnings cut in half!

Drooper

With droopy antenna not pointing at the sky
There's no way of knowing when you're low or high

Stacked Brothers

The oldest child held everyone steady

Because his love for the youngest was so sublime
But in this family, as in most,
The middle children are usually a waste of time

The Insect King

The Insect King was so bummed about his pals
All of them were guys
None of them were gals

Dutchess Henry

Our leader always has a lot to say
Sometimes I wish he'd just let us pray

Friday's Gentleman

When rocks were liquid
When the floor was a tree
When I was a child
I was free

Chippy

Chippy felt like he was chipping to death
"I'm chipping away with every breath"
Lighten up Chippy and jump out of your tube!

And we'll smooth out your chips with some strawberry lube!

Group Show - Little Rock!!!! 3/31/07

Fine artist (and fine friend!!!), Eric Freeman, is displaying his recent paintings and photographs, along with the works of
eight other artists, at a group show he's curating in Little Rock, Arkansas. He kindly invited me to submit some works which makes me the only non-Little Rocker in the show. So, it's indeed an honor to send some deep vibes to the deep south!

Below are my submissions. They're all permanent ink on 8.5 " x 11" neutral color, archival paper. You can see them bigger if you click 'em! And the Figurines music video will be looping on the wall there as well!

Eric has a larger exhibition of his paintings beginning next month (April 20 - Sept. 2, 2007) at The Arts & Science Center For Southeast Arkansas in Pine Bluff.

He'll be showing with the glass sculptures from another native Arkansas artist, James Hayes.

These two creators went to elementary school together and have stayed in touch, so it should be a fantastic and friendly show of ripened creativity!
