art me
art U
art everything that is special
art everyone U wish to influence
hoped to be with the influence of love
for it is all that can be in the raw sense of
all true depicted in your spectrum of color
artistic streams of rivers flowing
far from the chaos of U’r city woes
frolicking with the dirt and stone, grass and the trees small and grown
with U’r mind in calm subtle suggestions
of settle down now
– and –
do U know U’r way around now
to get out of town
and wipe away that frown
of your day still on the ground
and now U in full life rounds
like shots for everybody
of the rejuvenated you
(and this my off the cuff this day November 1st 2013 @ 20:34:23 and below my newest piece of art – i will post a link tomorrow i hope, on november 2nd
and below is my except from my art fan page, which i hope all will join me
kenneth james fan page… home of the skid row artist – please invite friends!
everybody has heard of the poor starving artist… poverty etc., well i am one such or the only artist like that – U know
i am the skid row artist, kenneth james, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran,
the art i have been making for years has been a result of therapy for trauma that i have suffered through… and hopefully am on the path to …, well, is there recovery, we shall see
there are ups and downs, and so this art… my therapists, they have encouraged me a bit more than a year ago… is when i finally headed their advice, to make my art public. This page and my other pages are a result.
so it is my fantasy that i will someway gain, a realistic goal is like 1000 by thanksgiving, but my goal, 100,000, say by December, then my fantasy of having 1,000,000 people buy a box of cards on Valentines Day
this is my out of skid row fantasy. Other artists have promoters, producers, PR, life coaches, etc.
when you are on skid row, all you have is you, and maybe the community, i hope to figure out how to do it all – to have the community join me, for an underdog story if you will – an artist on his journey to sharing all around the world,
eventually, when i gain stability, i am going to write a very personal book about Trauma, and the corrections… i hope to share, that can make society more civil than it is … we do need work here and there!!!
peace and love
