Art

gewd day

Woke up this morning and dozed inn and out a few times. Kept going back to the same dream space.

A little difficult to explain that space now because I didn’t write anything down.

Probably best, I watched a horror/thriller series on Netflix the last few days titled “Project 81” and it was strange to say the least.

The ending less than what I was hoping for, but it still fucked with the dream sequence.

Working on some wood block arts. One of them is finished and I’ll post it soonly via Instagram and arts tab here on the .com // sold my first piece of the year to a nice fellow named Thomas that I met for the first time last week.

If I remember correctly he is from the Oregon Coast. We met at Anna Bannana’s and I showed up late and it was busy from the get go to the very end.

Working on explaining my intention/purpose/idea behind art more clearly.

I took some notes along the way. Where I put those notes is still a little mystery to me.

Just poured my second coffee of the day and plan to find all that after blogging these words.

Currently listening to “The Darling Buds” and seems to be the right kinda mellow to get to doing the things.

Second super grey and misty day in a row where I am. These days are a gentle balance in drinking coffee, but not too much.

Yesterday I definitely drank too much too soon and had a million overstimulated energies. I jumped at every little movement including my own.

Well… a song is ending and so I feel it best to move off the web for now.

Fragmented Realities (Rambles of a Madman)

in , ,

I have been working on making this “poetry” book a reality for almost 4 years now.

I began writing the words and drawing the images between 2016 and 2017 during a very dark and yet enlightening moment of my life. There is a lot to be learned from darkness. There is a lot to learn from the light. It takes all of it to make us a whole.

I believe it is the bridge between the zzzmoments I draw almost constantly and the songs I sing out at rock n roll shows. There is a bridge between symblols and words/language and it is a magical realm to wander into.

I printed 33 copies because I find 33 a magical number and I am 33 years old at the moment.

I am selling them for $30 each and as of this blog post 7 copies have found homes. Limited originals from the book are also available for $50 to anyone interested. (I will post more on that later.)

If you are interested in a copy they will be available when I will be singing and making noise this Friday at No Fun Bar (9pm) and this Sunday at Ranger Station (7pm).

If you do not live in town, comment below, send me an email, reach out to me on social media and we’ll make it work.

I will eventually be selling the books and the original art from the “Fragmented Realities” via my interweb store.

Truthfully it’s been so long since I utilized the .com store that I am in the midst of working out some kinks/links to make it work properly.

I am excited this story. I am excited to play a couple shows this weekend!!

i love entertaining! i love singing! i love creating!

There are many words that I would to say right now.

I need close up this blog post because I need a shower. I need to clean up home. My friend Cody Trespalacios that I have known since 3rd grade is coming to town tomorrow. It will be his first time in Oregon.

Okay my legs are bouncing and it’s hard to focus so it’s time to brew more coffee and shower.

Talk to you soonly fellow earthlings!

Last week was a busy, productive week.

I sold eight sleepwalking moments. Half on my own and half via PDXChange on Mississippi Ave.

My friends Dani and Travis had a going away party Saturday night. 

Reconnected with a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. 

and more and more and more. 

There was a full moon last night. 

I saw a really wild car accident happen right in front of me. Fortunately I was far enough away it didn't involve me. 

I was offered another part time job, too. only 2 days a week, but it would put a few more hundred in my possession a week and that could go a long way these days. 

I just finished eating a quesadilla with carnitas. very yummy and about to pack up the laptop and go make my house and room clean. First of 3 days off from my day job.

So get home base settled today and then tomorrow and can follow through with emailing all the people I need to about other potential art happenings, update .com, etc. 

Oh  yes! I forgot. I named and framed a couple of my Sleepwalking Moments. It's not until they get a frame that I name them something other than "Sleepwalking Moments SW____".

Named and Framed two and they are now in the dressing rooms at Wonder Ballroom. 

Alright my attention span is drifting. I need to go for a wander then clean my house up. 

Be free fellow earthlings.

Hello Fellow Earthlings

Hello Friends,

My name is A.B. Corduroy. I started this .com/blog/whatever in 2013 when I changed the name I call myself as a way to promote a change in head space. 

As an entertainer/artist I wanted name that was more unique than my birth name. I wanted a way to track, if nothing more than for my own self, to track what is happening in my life.

It's a subtle to remind myself that self sanity and self entertainment are most important in my life.

I changed my name to A.B. Corduroy as a reminder to take life one moment at a time, A to B to C and so on. Corduroy because it's tougher than cotton and though life gets hard sometimes, but ya got to keep taking it one moment at a time. There are infinite moments happening at a given time, acknowledge that and take it one moment at a time.

I'm currently listening to Childish Gambino. It makes for good typing music.

This is my renewal to share more. 

The difference in A.B. Corduroy and the person you may have known before is I have no fucks to give. I am me, I do not pretend to be anymore. If I am to be a rockstar or successful artist than I want it to be from an open and honest space. I do not hype it up, it's all genuine.

Sometimes that is fun and exciting. Sometimes it's dark and feels helpless. I will do better at sharing all those said experiences.

For the last few months I've been homeless. I have a friend that offered a roof over my head. I am grateful for that, but meditating hard on getting Smoggie Catt and I a proper home base. 

I've also been falling in love with an amazing individual. I could ramble on that for a while. Not now though. I will not ink her name at this moment out of respect. 

rambles, rambles, rambles. I also posted some art for sale under my interweb store. I'll post more and take them down as they are sold. They are selling more frequently these days and I hope the interweb store makes that more effective. 

I need to brush my teeth and clean up my belongings so I'm going to stop typing for now.

Be free fellow earthlings,
