Talking of acquaintances here, today was good and I spent it, nearly all of it, (I’m writing this at 11:00pm), in the company of my old pal JM. We were rooting about old magazines for use in the new issue of The Thorn, only two years on since the last one! What struck me most was how good, (there’s that word again!), it would be to do this full time. Imagine if that’s all we did all day, though I’d want to start at 0800 and not finish at 2100, research, cut, art, all the while listening to a ton of music, take the dog out for a good walk.
If I even had a LW store or shop Id have a room or studio out the back where we could do this shit all the time. Clothes and gear out front, all art out the back. Possibly a gym as well. Minibus and van outside for camping and impromptu mountain trips. Man I do need to make that a reality. Maybe JM can have a room to paint massive canvases in as well, hire a few shop staff so I can piss off to the woods whenever I want, and where would this wonderland be…
