beer, candles, and beats

...today...

the little wooden boy ponders the duality of things...



after such an exhausting mental exercise, he poses for the camera with much gusto...


a bite to eat? Rangoons...


once full, he approaches a rhythm composer and starts to work on some head bopping beats...


after the long recording session, he takes time to relax; beer and cigarette in hand.

The Question Concerning Technology

...today...

Le Petite Garçon meets a strange creature... a ROBOT!?
A philosophical dialect develops. Questions of Being, existence, and technology arise. The ROBOT refers the little wooden boy to Martin... Martin Heidegger:

"In The Question Concerning Technology, Heidegger sustains an inquiry of being, but turns to the particular phenomenon of technology, seeking to derive the essence of technology and humanity’s role of being with it."

In turn, the question concerning technology makes the little wooden boy a bit confused, he contemplates his own questions in regards to a wooden existence.

extra sleep, brunch, and ink

...today...
the little wooden boy stays in bed for an extra hour, enjoying dreams and cigarettes...

...on his way to a nice brunch, he stops for some coffee and meets a giraffe...


...a good bloody mary is always on the menu...


...after several bloody 'marries', he feels like drumming in preparation for some new ink...


...on the way to the tattoo shop, he takes a moment to observe some street art, he is quite fond of graffiti...


...upon entering the shop, he meets a 'friendly' piranha... they chat about life, pain, and survival...


...he also chats with a majestic bird fellow... not many words are exchanged as the little wooden boy starts to get nervous...


...he gazes into the eyes of a foreign creature and wonders if it can read his thoughts...


...he decides on the imagery that is to be imprinted on his wooden skin...


...and as the set is prepared for the ink, he inspects the instruments to be used...


...a quick breather before the operation goes down, and he submerges into the bittersweet endorphin rush that the needle delivers...

in morning mourning

...today...the little wooden boy starts off his day with a bottle of whiskey as he is sad and in mourning for the passing of Trish Keenan...


...he meets with Buddha in search for guidance and wisdom...


...his first encounter with mortality; a blood puddle makes him feel different, as he does not contain this life substance, yet... he is real...


...he turns to his muse for inspiration...


...inspired - yet confused, he turns to his instruments to compose a grand opus...


...and in doing so, he pays homage to his homeland and history, to the living and deceased, to what has gone and what remains...ultimately giving thanks for the sunrise; for a new day is full of possibilities...

the occult and other thoughts

...today... the little wooden boy starts his day off with a warm and strong cup of espresso, accompanied by his trusty cigarette...



...after yesterdays meeting and chat with Picasso, Le Petite Garçon takes time to really look at art. He thinks about his conversation with Pablo and analyzes the work, really looking at technique and methods of application...


...he then proceeds to plan his method of attack on a large piece of blank canvas...


...after working meticulously on his new piece, he has a chat with a fellow creature and questions the geometry of the world...


...he then has his first contact with the world of the occult, as he is seeking answers to millions of questions..


...then, he ponders about the mystery, complexities, and wonderfulness of women...


...and before its time for a good night's rest, he pays respect to his elders and requests their help and guidance on his quixotic adventures...

Routine : Coffee, Art, and Snow

...and the little wooden boy starts off his day right, a cup of coffee accompanied by a camera


...accompanied by a camera because he likes to take photos...


...he also likes to listen to records...


...on a search for inspiration, he meets up and chats with Picasso...


...later, he ponders about the conversation and exchange of ideas...


and, like always, he takes time to appreciate his beautiful surroundings... however cold it might be out.

Around and Around

As le petite garçon awakes in his little house...



...he ponders on what comes first, morning pages or coffee?

Morning pages it is...


Coffee would help now, wouldn't it?


With no time to make his Coffee, he hurries to a Café and orders a cup..


Although in a hurry, he always has time for new friends...


...be it a Lion at the museum or.... a Piñata in the street....


After the daily routine, the afternoon sun...


Always taking time to appreciate the lovely surroundings he finds himself in... Always...
