Padshornetnest is the name of the drawing on my header for this blog. It is essentially a drawing of a drawing. A copy so to speak but infused with my own. Above are photos of my friend Montes' house which stands in a forest on the border of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York states. Would spend magic mushroom tainted weekends there with brothers Filamore and Alex Rodriguez. Monte collected art, and one of his stable of artists was Michael Wilson, also known as `the tattooed man` of Coney Island freakshow fame. He had died years earlier but Monte had many of his paintings and drawings. One of which was in the bathroom. This is the drawing my eyes coveted and I felt instantly that I somehow knew or understood this guy from this drawing. As I stared at the drawing it slowly fell off the shelf and I caught it before it ended up in the loo. Later that day a bear came around near the river which ran below the house in a deep valley. Monte said it was Michael and that he always paid a visit, at least once or twice a year.
