Father/Son

My old friend and son talk.


My grandson takes command of my Palm.


Simon Deschamps

I visited Kim and his son in Philadelphia and drew this quickly on his Palm Pilot. (And a few hours later Simon (age 12) started his own blog: http://1picaday-simon.blogspot.com)

Steroids

Here's why I retired . . . (exclusive)

I retired so I'd wake up one day &
wonder what I was going to do.
That was over one million seconds
ago, and still it hasn't happened.

So what . . .

So what is your name?

Weed

I was waiting for my wife
by the car. I started to we-
ed. Then she came out &
said we need to get them
all, down to the roots.

Larry King Live

A Good Neighbor!

Is anything better than
a good neighbor?

Not much!

Earplugs

He wore ear plugs
so he wouldn't
damage his hear-
ing at the concert.

Austin is Wierd

I didn't know what to do.
I moved to a city that is of
music so much so that the ground
vibrates from so much bass. I
like (loud) music (not) . . . Almost as much as
quiet.

Austin is wierd.

Shut Up!

I can ear U!

(Note: Every band worthy of calling themselves a band
is here in Austin for a festival. When I started the drawing
the ground shook. Yesterday I was trying to meditate and
the ground shook. My wife was driving down the street
today and the ground shook. It ain't good for the ground
to shook so much!)

(Note 2: When I wrote note one it was quiet, but now
I hear drums again. AND IT IS BEDTIME! 11 PM ALMOST.
Don't they know what Ben Franklin said... "early to ..."
Oh, that's better. They are quiet now.)

Instructions

I never read the instructions . . . first. b o r f (hint: an american car maker)

No More Expression

So my new goal is to no
longer express myself but
rather to reflect the
world.

They kept their distance . . .

They kept their
distance so they
would not col-
lide but they
never lost
sight of
one another.

Realness

He believed with all
his heart that everyth-
ing he saw was real
except a mirage, a pre-
sidental promise & a
Nigerian email.

(My apologies to all the
millions of Nigerians who
send legit emails.)

Misreflection

He spent
a long
time @
the
mirror
but
never
could
see his
reflect-
ion cl-
early.

2 morrow

He couldn't tell u the
time of day but he co-
uld walk thru walls.

Very Close

They
were
very
close

for
a very
long
time.

They got very close . . .

They got
very
close
&

almost
touched

Dentist wo/Valium

Today was the last
time I needed to go
2 the dentist. I
decided not to take
my last valium so
I could get more w-
ork done in the pm.

Breaking Bread w/Bread

Yesterday I
forgot the bread
in my breaking
bre ad drawing.

[Minor detail?]

Breaking Bread

It's Raining!

So after taking photos
she decided it should
look like it was rain-
ing. A Photoshop challen-
ge, I thought. After a
pretty good attempt, she
demanded a reshoot with
the hose getting the sub-
ject all wet.

The Neighbor's Dog

She brought the neigh-
bor's dog to our front
door. She found it had
escaped. I hardly rec-
ognized the pooch in
the arms of this go-
od Samaritan.

During peaceful yoga I heard thru the wall a financial speel.

A Greedy SOB

She was a gr-
eedy SOB,
primarily look-
ing out for
herself &
for those
she loved, wh-
ich included
the birds &
the bees & th-
e flowers & even
the weeds.     
       A greedy
       soul she was.

with it if I
found it.

Three Blind Men

I drove by three blind
men walking down the
street. One had a white
cane. They held onto each
other 4 dear life.

Octuplet Madness

Drawn while listening to CNN's coverage of the hot topic.

Dalai Lama vs. River

He decided that he'd
rather talk to the
river than ^ 2 the Dalia
Lama.

Sacrilege?

. . . world would end in 3 minutes.

On NPR, it was announced
it was 7:57 and that the
world would end in 3
minutes. I wasn't startled.

Later I realized that if
the lights were turned off
(so to speak) it would be ok.

Great Class

I went 2 a great class
2night. I didn't learn
anything. Now 4 the
real challenge -- to dive
off the hundred foot pole.

Buddhist Koan, CASE 46.PROCEED BEYOND THE TOP OF THE 100 FOOT HIGH POLE

Master Sekiso said, "You are at the top of the 100 foot high pole. How will you make a step further?" Another Zen Master of Ancient Times said, "One who sits on top of the 100 foot pole has not quite attained true enlightenment. Make another step forward from the top of the pole and throw one's own body into the 100,000 universes."

Mumon's Comments:
Should there be any who is able to step forward from the top of the 100 foot pole and hurl one's whole body into the entire universe, this person may call oneself a Buddha. Nevertheless, how can one step forward from the top of the 100 foot pole? Know thyself!

Should one be content and settle on top of the 100,000 foot pole,
One will harm the third eye,
And will even misread the marks on the scale.
Should one throw oneself and be able to renounce one's life,
Like one blind person leading all other blind persons,
One will be in absolute freedom (unattached from the eyes).

Loving Students

I heard that you don't
have to like or dislike your
students. You just have to
love them.

Face 2 Face

So I asked him if he had any
questions. What is the most
important thing in your life
???

Case of the Missing Hula Hoop

She left a message
wondering if I still
had the hula hoop
she gave me decad-
es ago. No, I cou-
ldn't move it 2 TX.

But           I
kept       it a
long         time.

Piggy Bank Query

So I asked the kid,
"If you take all your
money out of your
pocket is there still
money in your pocket?"

"He said
No!"

I Wanted to Scream

I wanted to scream
but I didn't know w-
hether to scream hap-
py or sad. It work-
ed. . . finally.

Catching a fal-

But it took so long!!!!!!

A Piece of Cake

So my sister calls disturbed
by my impermanence. I can
only assure her that
each day is an incredible
experience, some challen-
ging and some a piece of
cake.

Death Row at the Dentists

I'm in death row at the
dentist's office totally not
accepting the idea of wel-
coming, pain as a caring
friend, instead drugged
with valium so I can just
sleep. Am I chicken or wise?
We shall see.

The dentist is ur friend.

Leaf Rustling Down Driveway

Today I got hearing aids
and was chased by a lea-
f rustling down the bla-
ck driveway. And today
dear ones left the earth.
I'm not sure if my ears
waking & others leaving ear-
th is connected. We'll see.

Another Holey Moley

Another version of the animation done yesterday.

Holey Moley

Sometimes he was told that
he had a hole in his
head. He could not feel
it nor see it in a mi-
rror, so he was skept-
ical.

Too Many Ideas

A long day. First I heard
a dharma talk on silence.
I decided not to ever fill
up the page in my draw-
ings. Then he told how
his dog grabbed his hand
through his mail slot, so
I said that would be my
drawing except then we
were talking hummers &
I said they kick ass &
he said that should be
my drawing and now
with so many great art
ideas floating in my th
ick skull I feel absolut-
ely impotent tonight as a
potentially practing artist.

V day

V day is a great day because
it's about love, which, when
we ignore unpleasant junk,
is truly what keeps us
alive.

3 Monkeys

It is much too late to
make art. I just came
from a meeting where peo-
ple talked about people &
now I look over at
the three monkeys & hope
that we followed their e-
