BLACKBOARD MASCARA
Repainting my motorcycle gas tank this weekend with blackboard paint because my life has never been chrome, distorting reflections, blinding to what you came to see, what you came to be. The reflection I do is deeper than veneer of simulation. I'm going to a place where they trade diamonds for Kevlar, Windows for Doors, and I'm going to ride -ride, ride, ride - faster than mascara.

About Me
- TMA
- I Swings Wide is a song I wrote, produced and recorded. At the end of the blog is the live version, when it was still a work in progress, with me singing and being backed up with my band at the time in L.A., the Fabulous Poon-Tones. It was later recorded in the studio with quite a different feel, more bluesier than jazz. I am a multi-media artist,dealing in visual art of different mediums as well as the medium of music, writing, stained glass, woodcarving, etc. I have acted and directed for stage in Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s, belonging to quite a few rep companies. I have also produced open poetry mics in the Santa Monica area and am a published poet under the name Los Angelo.

this is damned good, on a couple levels about meaning of 'reflection'...
"The reflection I do is deeper than veneer of simulation."
