Just because I neglect my blog, does not mean I am without words. Life has been passing me by too quick lately. But, here I am. I am here.
Below is a little painting of a Simple man. A "Regular Man." He is my new little person to paint. I have a feeling this man and his posse will be taking over my black birds. If you've read my previous posts you'll understand this.
My new man was inspired by one of my favorite songs by The Grouch, who is one of my favorite Living Legends (a hip hop crew from LA.) The song is called "Simple Man," I will post some of the lyrics below.
Appropriately.... Simple Man lives in a thrifted frame, on top a stack of old books.
I'm just a simple man I like pretty things I like funny things I like beans and rice
I'm just a simple man I like stupid things I'm a simple man, really
I like funny things; I like cheap things I like basic things
Now don't mistake man for mind, 'cause I'm not simple-minded
Just logical, efficient and completely on time
With my thoughts in the process always bring progress
Don't you just be something on a shelf; just always be yourself
