Head Spilla
" You know what I just forgot hold on. Turn the air on while I look at those sharp letter figures observed from two toes numbing down dumb thoughts that you caught.
so why can't you do your own. you got put out to steal other peoples bones in their blocky body.
why did I replace those words I lay down before.
I don't want to re taste and re flick my first grocery thought that caught something I bought.
I don't have time to flick twice but I think too much.
I guess somebody's gotta bring home the baked on. you should bring home that melon photo grab.
automatic faces that from when they hear loud sounds from nothing to something. every double you is beautiful he says.
I get out the car and act like we walk on bars of glowing video game land. I walk in but the other body walked a little more than they did.
stepped forward and did my act number one. he wanted to see. black lines with abstract thoughts they can't keep track on coming out their body. brain to hand and hand to brain it gonna rain so lay in side that lie life you ought to ride and groove back side to side my bad. you just passed it man but I type it in instead of
channeling out my mouth. people with guns that point their weapons at bodies... shit "

Christian Custodio
i never felt as compelled to help a fellow artist than when i saw Christian's work. yeah it reminds me of a Basquiat. a Cy Twombly scribble maybe. a bit of Francis Bacon weirdness. however this is the conclusion he has reached as an artist. i know that there's something in his work that is totally him. there's a narrative that must be deciphered before judgement can been passed on. more of that will be revealed when the interview is released.
he has like 2 zines out or some shit. everyone is making zines nowadays but man. this a good one. i will guiltily confess that after purchasing Negative Sleep, i've been too intimidated to get through the whole thing. that's because in order to get through the whole thing (its over 100 pages long), you really want to give each page the love and attention it deserves. each page is like a cute baby. imagine being in a room full of cute babies. it's hard to love them all at once.
so mozy that fat internet ass over to his big cartel site and support the motherfucker (plus, there are shirts that i helped him shoot pictures of!!). not many from the antelope valley are doing what he's doing..

"photographic midnight sights, accidental notes, naked thoughts, private heads, unknown materials, blessings in disguise"
