BARTER WITH BRAZOS

MARTIN CRANE IS IN A BAND CALLED BRAZOS. HE POSTED A BULLETIN ON THE BRAZOS MYSPACE OFFERING THIS:



hey i just put up this other new
song.

all this new stuff i wrote last month, and it's best to listen to outside by yourself, and it's still on my mind as if, yes, this is me today right now, not in the realm of the past yet, so i want to share it with people but in a genuine way, and i want to get something meaningful back in return, handmade. i've been posting this stuff on the craigslist barter section for a few weeks around the country. some people have gotten back to me before the posts get removed.

now i try myspace. there's more songs, too, and to check out the whole thing, you should send me a message and i'll give you my address. send me something of interest to you or something you've made or a letter or whatever. just make it handmade or wear it down with your hands. i can go first if you want.

THIS PHOTO DOESN'T GIVE IT JUSTICE.

LUNG ART

THINGS I NEED TO DO:

1. BORROW A BETTER DIGITAL CAMERA
2. LEARN HOW TO TAKE PHOTOS OF ARTWORK PROPERLY

THE PHOTO IS OF SOMETHING I MADE TONIGHT.

ITS TITLED "THINGS GROW BACK" (INK ON MULBERRY PAPER).

I USED A NEW TECHNIQUE I'M CALLING *LUNG ART*.

I USE MY BREATH/LUNGS AS A TOOL AND BLOW ON WET INK.

I ALSO USED AN OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND TOOK FROM CURLED UP WIRE TO PAINT THE LINES, FORM.

PUBLIC CHAIR

I WAS WALKING THROUGH DOWNTOWN HOUSTON THIS MORNING AND WALKED PAST AN OFFICE CHAIR SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EMPTY SECTION OF SIDEWALK AND GOT AN IDEA: PUBLIC CHAIR.

KIND OF LIKE YELLOW BIKE. BUT WITH CHAIRS. I'M GOING TO MAKE A SIMPLE STENCIL WITH THE BLOCK TEXT "PUBLIC CHAIR" AND PLANT CHAIRS AROUND, WELL AUSTIN NOW BECAUSE I'M MOVING BACK IN 2 WEEKS.

SO IF YOU HAVE A CHAIR YOU CAN SPARE SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I'LL COME PICK IT UP.
