Thank you Guido!

ON THE 5TH OF DECEMBER, 2011 I HAD A TUMOR REMOVED FROM THE TIP OF MY NOSE.  EVERYONE KNOWS THE CAPTAIN HAS PLENTY OF NOSE AND THAT THERE IS NOSE TO SPARE.  I ALWAYS REACT TO ANESTHETIC OF ALL KINDS IN STRANGE WAYS. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME FOR IT WORK OUT OF MY SYSTEM. THE CRATER LEFT IN MY NOSE ALARMED THE GENERAL PUBLIC.  MY BROTHER AND SISTER-IN-LAW FELT COMPELLED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A DISGUISE / PROSTHETIC WHICH I GLADLY USED BEGINNING IN JANUARY, 2012.  THE UN-RETOUCHED…

THE CAPTAIN MAKES CERAMIC SCULPTURES, EXHIBITS THEM IN ART GALLERIES, AND SEEMS COMPELLED TO MAKE AN ARTISTAMP OUT OF THE SCULPTURE'S IMAGE. THIS IS A TRULY SICK ENDEAVOR...…

Fantastic collages--they knocked my sox off.

Next come the latest crushed cans from Erni, always a thrill, and in this group the one at the upper right especially kills me. It is so flat--flatter than usual--and some of it seems to be…

one of the inserts looks to be a page from Cheryl's 'A World is a Town' boekie. the paper is coated with wax and stamped 'excluded'. (my favorite page) Texture and concepts throughout this piece. …

customs declaration CN22, states "BOOK, NO VALUE" and i beg to differ. Layers of history, a chronicle, a saga, hidden pockets of Cheryl's boekies of past. The complexity of this piece is borderline overwhelming, staggering and gorgeous! Apologies for the photos and this blog. Here is a peek into this marvel. Thank you Cheryl.
