We've got a deadline looming. Only a few more days to make things.
Just a little peep show of what we're working on.
We've been working really, really hard. (Don't worry: if you see the show you won't know how hard we worked. Or why we worked so hard. Or what the point of making art is. Most of the time we're just spinning our wheels. We're going for that effortless, sloppy, brilliant thang. I've got a whole notebook filled with indecipherable scrawlings that could each become a masterpiece if given the time/opportunity/childcare/wherewithal. I'm the stenographer of the couple and it's my duty to document each genius thought and idea that spews forth at breakneck speed .)
We do take breaks though. We get all civilized and bring out a tea set. No matter that the tea set is sitting next to a turtle shell filled with bones and Elmer's glue.
Our studio is trashed beyond belief. You can't even walk in there. We've reached what I call the "Tokyo Airport Point" which is a place of ridiculous laughter and silliness. It happens when you're very tired and over stimulated. The first time we flew to Asia we laughed ourselves silly in the Tokyo airport. I almost peed my pants. I remember sitting at a table eating soba, and laughing until I was crying. We laughed our entire layover there.
I've laughed to the point of tears today countless times working with Babba in the studio. It's stupid humor, and it's smarty pants humor. We crack ourselves up.
Sometimes I think I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard.

I just laughed so hard imagining you laughing so hard.
Okay, I want more info on the show!!! You're teasing us!
I love that you laugh that hard....I love it when you laugh so hard you get a laugh ab workout. That's the best. And you are teasing me with your studio mess....I just know there is genius happening and I want to sneak peek!
That is the kind of laughter, the ameliorative-life essence-take you to a different existential plane laughter, that is awesomeness, that rare jewel precious stuff. I crave it. Shit, especially right now.
Happy art-making to you and Babba. Best of luck on your show.
Sounds like you are going out of your mind to me! That is the place where magic happens*
So wonderful that you have found a path, with you husband, that can bring you so much joy and laughter! Can't wait to see pics from the show!
I have this friend and when we get to laughing, we beg each other for mercy. It becomes almost torturous, except that I can only be this crazy with her, since I am a little girl. I can't wait to see every single thing you are creating right now. I would love it if you could take very detailed photos. Much like the hair posts, I am very interested.
Sounds like you got yourself a great occupation, laughing and creating !!
Sometimes you shouldn't breathe.
Well, except for the fact that breathing is imperative to life.
But in this case? In the cases you references? So is the not breathing thing.
