TERRACOTTA WARRIORS

 

oil paint and gouache on arches paper..

drawn in the 'survivors' style..

 

if only all armies were all made of only terracotta..

instead of..

scorched earth..

and airplanes built with paper wings..

and drones and missiles..

were only kites..

to decorate the days..

and sleep on the wind..

 peaceful nights..

 

if only men..

and women too..

could make only love..

and never war..

or if they must..

create a proof that they once were.. 

make terracotta armies..

to bury in the ground..

to guard the peace..

without a sound..

 

THE MADONNA DE MILO

 

flipping through an old 1950's magazine..

I came across this advert for a milky bedtime drink..

Milo..

mother and very healthy child..

one of the great images of western art..

great art as pop art..

madonna and child..

on the tv..

selling stuff..

guess all the kids these days think..

that's not madonna..

and anyway..

which kid is that supposed ta be anyway..?

tv's were smaller then..

and funny shaped..
