We are in the process of moving out of Wow Cool's home for the last eight years (Which also became home to all the books from Alternative Comics and Sparkplug Books during that time). I'm also in the five oh club. Went through a very horrific health crisis that I'm very happy to be mostly on the back side of (celiac never says bye bye all the way). Now looking at things with fresh eyes and trying to find new ways to focus that are the most meaningful. Disengaging from the social sites that left me feeling so betrayed. Redeveloping the resources that I control on my own site. Seeking new in-real-life experiences. Reconnecting with people who are still in the fight. Learning about so many things I missed while otherwise engaged. Breaking old routines. Always questioning. Finding ways back in to doing my own work. Much love, brother.Marc Arsenaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384129154427120473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409024994922908431.post-74736142966606938022019-01-07T19:21:18.152-06:002019-01-07T19:21:18.152-06:00the thing you hate to talk about - i hated reading...the thing you hate to talk about - i hated reading about it. but i think about it all the time too. i’m glad to read you draw more and play music because aren’t those EXACTLY the things worth focusing on??a katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013714236598558999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409024994922908431.post-5787593978230770502019-01-07T16:42:21.753-06:002019-01-07T16:42:21.753-06:00A good decision on your part.

It ain't easy, but just keep going till you can't anymore. My dad passed at 72, so I am hoping for those 22 more years.

We met at a kinkos, i had asked about a copier and noticed i was xeroxing some imagery for some mailart i was working on.. <br /><br />i didnt know it at the time that he was also into mailart and probably is the reason why he offered to rent one of his rooms over on damen.. <br /><br />i hung out with him and another mail/stamp artist for awhile till things didnt work out socially (happens..) <br /><br />I ran across john a few years later on the bus.. he was wearing one of my work shirts with my name on it.. made me laugh.. we talked for a bit till he left the bus and i never heard/seen from him again.. <br /><br />i searched him out recently only to find he passed away.. There is a lot im leaving out in regards to health issues and things i saw living with him but my intentions here are not to sully his memory.. <br /><br />I too miss him very much.. <br /><br />-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409024994922908431.post-40927116896633379952017-01-17T20:34:24.147-06:002017-01-17T20:34:24.147-06:00Brave to recreate that one dude, and fully, comple...Brave to recreate that one dude, and fully, completely appreciated.
