It’s been so long, I’ve almost forgotten what’s on the b-side of my body. Interesting to think I’ve spent thousands upon thousands of American dollars on art by amazing artists from around the world, and can’t even fucken see it. Got to have either a mirror or photos. O well, Lifes a bitch and then you die 69ing, I hope.
Once upon a time, I was an avid Bjork fan. In 2018, I believe the progressives would call others like me a “fanatic; but back in the day, it I could have just easily be stated as
‘wannabe stalker of a music artist wannabe that people really didn’t understand or did they?‘.
Björk Guðmundsdóttir… you know! That weird woman who lays eggs, who smacks the paparazzi at the airport upon arrival. Her quirky voice and music style due to dating various electronic Djs was an inspiration to my still developing music taste. As she was weird, artsy, and from that country called Iceland; my connections with her became physical on various parts of my body.
ALL IS FULL OF LOVE gets deeper then I care to spend time writing here about, but the highlights that have always attracted me were not only her music video, nor the remixed vision by German IDM duo Funkstörung, but the guy who directed it, who visualized the image Bjork was trying to portray.
That man is none other than Chris Cunningham.
What a fucken madman, I remember saying to myself in response to the first round of view the film! I also remember heading directly to the Louisville Speed Art Museum for the Chris Cunningham/Bjork All is full of Love in an art box music video art showcase. A highlight none the less
‘The images of the kissing robots are interposed with shots of white fluid washing over robotic parts as the mechanical arms whom assembling them pulsate.’
So the day came when I found myself with money to burn, and I went to the hottest ink house in town; ACME INK.
This would not make my only visit to this staple ink house of Louisville, KY Bardstown Rd cool hipster community that opposes everything even themselves but don’t really know how to handle it so they just dress up as Zombies and roll around in the streets like retards. Probably lead by one eccentric personality Bee Chamberland, but I could just be high and making shit up at this point… or not!
Back to the story and most importantly, because I finally took the step to color. No more simple black ink on thy body. Going full blast big bold red with matching the big black bold lines. Thanks, John Furse now owner-operator of Five Star for my Louisville ink over on the not so highly overrated but can be overlooked Frankfort Ave.
Great shot of his Bjork ink on top of some tourist trap The Great Wall located just north of Beijing, China back in 2008.
In shortcoming, I just tell people
It’s a circle of people 69in !!!
