toad orchestra with calligraphy by Jim Leftwich and Jeff Crouch / EZE, 2020

 


so it goes

so goes

the toes

of the toad

to and fro


and then the so

is the toe

until

you say

I told you 

so


so just don't 

croak

just don't

so

keep writing like crazy

exchanging

changes


so it goes

so goes

the toes

of the toad

to and fro


to and fro


the woodwinds and the brass

are

amazing

myopia, the alphabet soup of the well-defined suddenly un (with Cece Chapman) / EZE, 2020

 


from Cece Chapman: "out those maps too...especially interesting because of the myopic artists that are never mentioned...but i read a long time ago that monks became monks because of their myopia. that priestesses also in ancient egypt and greece, the most nearsighted the more inbred, the more valuable because they could barely see. their prophecies were valued more as they were less influenced by who was before them asking questions because they couldn't see them. and blind priests and priestesses more valuable...also i had heard the same that the very young being trained by renaissance artists drew detail (like maps and bibles ordered by the rich) to train but as they grew older lost the ability to stay focused and draw detail but was probably their eyes changing. maybe you know what a rapidograph pen is with various points some very tiny used in graphic design. but when i was in school at 16-18 the artist kids used to draw psychedelic designs, and very small details, but later admitted at mid twenties they just couldn't do it anymore."
