DREAMING OF EWE

On January 1st 2018, I started me Dream series.I'm now in my 7th year. This year, I'm doing things a little differently and I'm painting each dream on 6x6 paper. Each piece is available to purchase. The idea is that ewe too can own one of my dreams. Next year, all 365 pieces will be photographed as a whole and a limited print will be made.

… Last night, my dreams felt HAPPY … there was something about BOXING, but I don’t remember. Woke up with my sister in laws dog sleeping next to me.., forgot he was here for the night. His name is JOSEF. I have a LITTLEZ called JO. It’s inspired by my love for pets. On our morning walk, I thought of my 90’s YELLOW JOE BOXER shorts. They had a big SMILE up front. One time in South Beach, I wore them out as shorts. Back then, it felt risqué to be walking around in my boxer shorts 🤪

… Last night, I dreamt that I was on a reality show based in some sort of prison. I complained becasue the show didn't sense. During the night, I thought of my one time in jail for a DUI in 1998. I had been DRINKING all day and sadly drove home. At the time of the arrest, I thanked the cops for not only saving my life, but the lives of any peeps out that night.

P.S... I took my latest idea and combined my LITTLEZ with SHEƎP. It features, TINI, ROCKY & ROSY.

… Last night, WRDSMTH made a quick cameo. I was running down a busy street in LA and found him working on a utility box. I said hi and kept on running. Afterwards, the dreams got wild and went all over the place, all over the world. There were mountaintops, a tsunami, 2 yellow birds, my family, a mobile home, scary dogs, lions, fake money, beaches, and drag queens.

But since @wrdsmth appeared first, my brain captured this phrase from the start.

… Last night, though they felt good, I don’t remember my dreams. Woke up with my phrase, ‘THIS IS IT.’ Many moons ago, these words came to mind. I thought… how cool, that with 4 letters, 3 words, life was summed up. They’re a reminder to be present. Life’s not about later, tomorrow nor the weekend… it’s about right now. Like right now, I’m lucky to be able to type words on my phone using my fingers and eyes to do so… sitting naked on my couch and watching Threes Company on a TV in my apartment in Miracle Mile on a beautiful sunny day.

… Last night, I dreamt of VIOLET CHACHKI out of drag. We ran into each other at a bar. We both felt butterflies. He wanted to hook up, but I said no. So we talked and by the end of the evening, we kissed softly. We looked into each other’s eyes and knew that it was the beginning of something.

💖P.S… last night before bedtime, I watched an interview of her on YouTube. I also told a peep that the day before, I met up with a collector and he looked like Violet.

… Last night, I dreamt that my family and all my cousins showed up to do a DANCE battle on Telegraph Ave. in Pico Rivera.
When it came down for my team to do a test run, I didn’t see myself in the dream.

💖P.S…. Last night while watching Amazing Race, I thought that if I ever competed, I’d take a dance class beforehand.
Featuring LITTLEZ: MOOSE & REIGNA. Inspired by my love for music and dance.

… Last night, I don’t recall in which manner MADONNA appeared in my dreams, but she did. During the night, I was figuring out which LITTLEZ would be her love language. A new LITTLEZ appeared: CHOOEY. It’s an upside down cross inspired by my love for having broken free from religion. It was a lifetime of uneasiness… until 2017 when I experienced what I called a moment of death. The next day, I felt completely free of it.

💖P.S… why did Madonna appear… yesterday evening, I saw a YouTube video with the @onlydetox on stage with @madonna … had I spent time watching Madonna videos, she wouldn’t have appeared. Only bummed that Detox didn’t make a cameo.
Featuring LITTLEZ: CHI CHI, BABY, SOCRATES, IRI, CHOOEY, DREAMY, ZAPPY, LOVESY, MOOSE, BILLY, LALA, PETE, ARTY & YORKY

… Last night, I dreamt that I was at 8500 and carrying 2 glasses of WINE. As I turned the corner to go into the kitchen, where Mama was cooking, I dropped them. Immediately, I started cleaning up the mess. Mama made a comment about my lack of work ethic. It didn’t feel good. In a later part of my dreams, I was on an island with many smaller islands around it. It sort of felt like a weird amusement park. POOP kept coming out of my mouth. It would stop… it was BLUE too. Woke up when I missed my boat and I illegally crossed some waterways. I was given options that I didn’t want to make a decision on. One was to let a pay thousands of dollars… the to let a local peep die.

Featuring LITTLEZ: VINNY & KIKI

… Last night, I dreamt about OLIVER STARK. We were on set and our scene required us to KISS. We kissed, it felt good, but then I slipped in my TONGUE. He stopped, looked in my eyes and smiled. From this, I knew the tongue was inappropriate. We kissed again and it was magic. His next scene was in the shower. He walked down some stairs with only a towel wrapped around him. Once in the shower, he dropped his towel. From the side, his thigh was thick. He turned around and revealed a giant WEINER. Fellow 911 co star Ryan Guzman walked into the shower and they made a joke about each other’s weiners.
… and that was it…

💖P.S… last night I watched a full interview of Oliver and I rewatched the kissing scene from 2 weeks ago.
Featuring LITTLEZ: KING II, YO YO, PETE, LOVELY & SILLY

… Last night, I dreamt that I was on a road trip with my family. In the morning, there was chaos about packing up the car. None of it made sense. Everyone was all over the place. I was hungry and found some EGGS to eat.
Rather than sort out painting this dream, I took inspiration from a Herman Hesse quote that I came across yesterday.
‘The birds fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever will be born must destroy the world.’
Featuring LITTLEZ: MONDO and CLIFF.
