And stones fall from my eyes

The Storyteller
makes...[a] choice
soon you will not hear his voice
his job is to shed light
and not to master
Since the end is never told
we pay the teller off in gold
in hopes he will come back
but he cannot be bought or sold
–Robert Hunter
If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
If I was a bad, I would stay unmade
If I was a river, I'd run uphill
And if you call me you know I will
And if you call me you know I will
Went to the well but the water was dry
Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
Looked in the bottom and what did I see
The whole damned world looking back at me.
--Robert Hunter

Come oh artist/creators of graphic mythology:
Offspring of cyperspace, devotees of the postoid,

The Juggler of Gravity is one of the invisible aspects of Marcel Duchamp's Large Glass, though I doubt that he had anything like this in mind. Serves him right for conceiving me in the Fourth Dimension.
-Joel Sticker Duchamp, Illegitimate Son of Marcel
We shall not allow the fear of going mad make us keep the banner of imagination at half mast.
What every artist does is unique.
But what makes one artist's work special
Are those who beat to the work's pulse.
Bring it into their lives
And help carry on its tradition.
--- The Sticker Dude
As a general rule, people,
even the wicked,
are much more naive
and simple-hearted
than we suppose.
And we ourselves are, too.
