This video documents the progress of a 4.5′x8′ painting that I have been working on since the beginning of January. It still is not finished, but it has gone through a lot. The video also features a track of mine that will be on an album coming out later this year. Continued progress will be documented and posted here so be sure to check back for updates. Cheers! Jesse

4.5′x8′ Progress Pt.1

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

bear – rising figure – bear
float through – he arrives free of time – clearly overlooked – between clouds and meteors – most have never seen him – the giant polar bear that arrives in night – desire appears as a third eye – evolve claws do to circumstance and practicality – do misjudge reality – the world just is its not out to get you – spontaneously he transformed into a turtle – an owl with human hands sprouted from his shoulders – the wisdom of moving slow and always looking – the tail had shown itself an entire day before its purpose not understood until now – this brought fourth the tortoise -  he could grow into a dinosaur and evolve past man – blind man reads his own palms – cross armed – tentacle branch
