uncle grant

uncle grant -- can't can't chant

pay now pay - for what we say

uncle chuck - can't trust your luck

tell us true - what do you do?

what's the price? the thought is nice

lift the lid? that's what we did

sign right here - and here, and here

grant three wishes - charity cheer

freestyle lifestyle paid with tax

scoop the art until it cracks

uncle grant grant us one wish

serve it up nonprofit dish

we will write your favorite book

paint your piece a proper look

film the scene that lights you up

fill the ever empty cup

uncle grant let's find the spin

show us how to cash it in.

Sketch in June

Sketch in June, from Journal #61, 14 June 2021

who we really are is a frustrating secret locked in chambers dark. filled with echoes repeating what we've been told, taught, and sold clicking away - vibrating in a pulse of rainfall that we do not feel. Sopping, sobbing, wet. who we really are eludes us every corner ghostlike, shadow shrouded wispy drawn sketched on page prepared but torn, tearful, and faded dropping away - ringing in tones of tools we can not carry. We touch nothing uninvited, withheld. who we are is right there in front of us. don't you see it? (c) 2017 douglas brent smith

Who Wore It First?

Inspiration Station

Inspiration Station -- sketch by Douglas Brent Smith, 1998 What if you drew a picture while you were watching "Outer Limits" and "The Twilight Zone"? I don't remember if that was what was going on (probably not) but those are two of my favorite shows ever (in all of their iterations) so think of this as inspired by a UHF smoothie turning channel knob.

Back Inner Cover

Back Inner Cover of Journal #33, Life In Progress, by Douglas Brent Smith, A collage that's not exactly a typical collage. It's what I often do with the back inner covers of my journals -- simply randomly put stickers, stamps, name tags, and other sticky objects.

Echoes In The Hall

Echoes In The Hall - collage by Douglas Brent Smith Was it a drip? or a step it was many steps inching, creeping, closer music bouncing in the background sad, acoustic strums a tenor voice another, mezzo, soprano, twins unseen gently heard bespoke beyond a wandering bird
