The Alcoholic part iii

This image is drawn by EC Comics great, Jack Kamen. I love the suburban dinner party image, overwrought with impending melodrama. By adding my stories of lower class suburban antics, the juxtaposition is interesting. Not to mention the writing under constraint – trying to condense my drinking tales to fit into that small box in the corner.

These sorts of tactics, to me, create a larger aesthetic process which seeks to confuse and antagonize the writing. It’s never been enough, just the words, I seek to tangle and entrap them.

Though I should just be funny. My writing is best when it’s simple and funny.

The Alcoholic part ii

THE ALCOHOLIC combines two great passions of my life.

First, drinking myself into a belligerent black out to transform into a blistering human hemorrhoid.

Second, replacing text for the détournementof images.

Some of these vignettes are mostly false. Others are based in truth. But drunks are unreliable narrators.
