image on t-shirt

reading about the conceptualists of the 1960's...they were concerned with the supremacy of idea..to them, art was in the idea, what they called the primary information whereas the physical representation was secondary information, only there to introduce the idea...these concepts resonate with me...kosuth wanted to remove the art from physical presentation, very much how css wants to seperate content from presentation...

my mind works along these ways and is part of the inspiration for the many images I produce...people have told me and I do believe they would make great t-shirts...but I am out of the flow...the people I hang with would never put a credit card number in to buy a t-shirt of mind...they will never even read this blog...I believe that it is this indiffrence which has allowed Bush to wage unrestricted his war in iraq...everyone is way to concerned with their image to be truly involved...

I could solve that problem easily with my image on a t-shirt...

"ride my see-saw" by the moody blues came to mind as I read this entry. always keeping a stiff upper lip, never letting down your pants... hmmm no down time either... separating content from presentation...
the extent of preparation can sometimes detract from spontaneous performance... same logic...

meaning there's a time to let go in every one's life... it can be as you are, who you are, what you are, just know that it is for that very same person you just wronged also
the lack of forgiveness of sin in this society, in its bitter reality
is really the most crippling self destructive aspect...
