hey

Visible to anyone in the world

for “bad things happen there,” “drunken howls and noises in the streets..

The people there may be “scum,” and sometimes violent -- “underclass hooligans” -- but they’re “real in comparison to the people who generally hang about the art world,” and, more importantly, they are “nearer to salvation than the suburban Middle Class.” ,”

more troy and an Anansi story(needs cleaning up).

Visible to anyone in the world

 

...

text improvised on from

'the Illiad'-Homer

 

hope all are well..

Short story(I'll fix it soon..)

nanacy was watching the world and looked down and and saw...letb the eye of imagination move in and see what he saw..hear what he heard..for nancy is wise and smiles muchly on small things...they are his ina very special way...

first he heard someone singing.."who is that singing such a good song" he thought to himself..for as everyone knows nancy loves music..to sing and dance and drink and get a little wild some..in fact nancy is just like us is'nt he really...

Anyway ..the song he heard was "the winds a woman babe..and the water is too..winds a woman babee..water is too...gonna be a fish, babe..an' i'll swim to you..swim to you...gonna jump right in baybee..an' swim to you.."..a graet funky little song ..namncy loved it..and then he saw little Bouki..all by himself at the side of the water..drawing of his pictures and a readin' o' his books..well little nancy thought..i'll keep an eye on this one...

now little bouki had been left alone for a day and night by his family because they gone to a party way owerr yonder.but he..little Bouki wanted to stay and read some and draw some..and anyway..things still needed to happen on the farm on the Little hillside where he lived..so he did his chores and eat some and then sat by the river..for he loved that river..and sat writing his songs and drawing his pictures..

now..bouki had a Nuncle...not a good man..yer can tell..look at that nose...the twist in the smile as he walkin' down towards that farm where bouki was..ALL ALONE..."m'gonna go down an' get me some from that lil bouki so i am" and he walked...and walked and soon  he was standing before lil bouki.."lil bouki...you here alone..well....why'n i stay here wid you.." Now Bouki knew this uncle was'nt a good uncle..he smelled mean and bad...and he did'n' like the way he stood so..he said "yep i alone..but you can't stay here..cause i ain't..soon am a go up to yonder further up the hill to a cave i know and there i'll sleep the night".. this pleased uncle gee..and he said.."wel..later on why'n i join you..later on"..and Bouki agreed... so..later on ..uncle gee went up that hill yonder..and it was dark and none could see..not anyone could see..and he went in that cave and shouted "Is that you in there..is that you" and Tiger smiled and thought "MEAT" so in a small boys whisper he said "yes..its me..its me come in" and whistlin' a abd song uncle gee just tripped on in there...and tiger smiled..and tore and reneded and let all that bad blood of Uncle gee's out....

and nancy laughed and danced and laughed again for he had kept an eye on little bouki..and he went down and said to him.."that is a sure fine tricvk you played on uncle gee..can i have it" and Bouki said yes..and both sat laughing and sang.. "the winds a woman babe..the water too..the winds a woman babe..the water too...gonna be a fish babe..and swim in you..swim in you..gonna be a fish babee.an' swim inyou"..

Its a very short version of a story i read last night...I'll fix it up and put it back on...

sorry for any mistakes but i was improvising while i wrote it9which is how Anansi stories should be...outloud i would improvise the actions and voices too....its meant to be read out loud to music and clapping etc..

Anyway..got to go...i smell again..and the library have been lenient enough with me...so i thank them for their patience and grace(Again..)..and speak soon...

 

hope your studies going well..if these images and text come in handy..feel free..

 

be well

Hey Y'all....Troy and The Golem

Visible to anyone in the world

Image and Text from

Chpt-'Sacrifices'...taken from

'Mametz Wood'(The Darkland)

by

Ant Dooley and Form...

from

'Achilles and Hector'...TROY

see how the theme of sacrifices runs throughout....

 

 

Read Meyrinck's 'The Golerm'....which is quite insane is'nt it....there really was much experimentation with hallucinogenics in the 18th century was'nt there...rimbaud..meyrinck..lautreamont(who meyrinck is very close too...lautreamont was more ..intellectual abiut his work I think.../..while meyrinck seemed to hate everybody(jews and self-loathing?...)...However..the point i'm looking at is 'The Golem' itself...which was not a man-sized made-man(in the book..it says a small model of a man was ALL that was left of the Golem)...so I'm thinking..Perpetual Motion machine...and their uses...man-as-machine...

 

http://youtu.be/xDF0cugCoMM

 

Da Vinci...

 

Hellboy 2-...just an imaginative extension of thought here...perpetual motion and weapons....what a scary idea!

http://youtu.be/-35Wr5T2XIM...

 

 

So maybe Meyrinck's drug fantasies could see something no-one else could....Golem/Frankenstein/unstoppable army....its not that far a stretch...Unstoppable army?..long-distance weaponry....Ask the Palestinians and israelis...they're experts on killing things....

 

 

man-the-creator ..

 

just riffing Y'all...

 

hope all are well and you know...well..you do..otherwise....why study?...

 

grin

 

Ant.

 

 

 

Hope all are well...still working on some pieces...the poetry I used yesterday was an improvisation from the Myth of Conchubar...however it could easily have been Welsh or Anglo-saxon....there was a brilliant programme on BBCRadio3 last night on 'The bayeaux tapestry'...and tonight its 'beowulf'..seamus heaney....they are repeats...but...if somethings that good..keep saying it(grin)...give a listen...you'll enjoy..its Seamus Heaney.

Troy...Achilles and Hector

Visible to anyone in the world

Afternoon y'all...hope all are well and studies going well for you(just keep going y'all..keep pushing)..

Anyway..been reading Logue again..and mixed with Williams Taliesin..i've probably gone a bit mad...what with the help of a jar of very unhelpful coffee(grin)...and some very erotic poetry...turns out m'quite good at it(grin...better than best y'all)..

 

Anyway..see what you think

Sketch.....

ravens sang over head...

.blade met flesh..

.teeth met neck....

the field was blood....

men screamed....

men died...

ravens sang over head...they fed on the meat feast...

....war men danced to their doom..trumpet and drum.....warmen danced to their doom..

Hey Y'All

Visible to anyone in the world

been too long...hopefully applying for course soon(need land-line

..I'm just so..poor(grin)..

Anyway..still working on diffrent stuff...Alternative History...various poetry

..stories etc...need to get back into studying though...there is much wrong with ..certain knowledges...some are over-esteemed while others seem to have been buried..and I'd like to know why?...because we ain't stupid are we...we know FACT..all knowledges are important...

not just the Official versions of canons etc...but also the News from elsewhere...from the subjugated....so..m'looking forward to the arguments and it better niot be"Well..I've got a gun..what I say goes" because if it is  then "I'm Anthony Dooley and I don't give a FUCK about your guns"...

just saying 

 

Anyway...hope all are well and your studies going well..and it would be great if i had my O.U FUCKING MENTOR AND FRIENDS BACK PLEASE....ALL OF THEM...

 

Be Well

Ant

 

Working on a version of 'The Illiad'(shurrup..m'not obsessed(grin)..its based on many versions of the Illiad I have ..Homer(and his wonderful sarcasm)...Pope...Logue..Armitage(though I have yet to have a copy of his I have read some of it though...he's also a favourite writer of mine..but he's not as immediate as Logue...)..i also want to try and break down some of Logue's intellectualism and make it more...earthy?...but I love his cinemascope eye...brilliant..so  these are some of the text and sketches..hopefully..one day..I will animate it..much like Tim Burton's work...or the puppetry that begins 'HellBoy2' by the great Guillermo del Toro

Image from 'Mametz Wood(The Darkland)' By Ant Dooley and Form..

 

It shows how four soldiers are trying to cross No-man'sland in the First World war...all are starving...half crazy from Fear..the other half from exhaustion...and they all begin to hallucinate...and sudden;y there is machione gun fire...one thinks he is standing on the faces of his dead friends...one has been shot...charlie waendel(who represents death is a ghost) and dai(name taken from 'In Parenthesis' by david jones(as are some of the idea's)..begins to see knights charging and cavalry...in his mind all times have merged(you saw the image yesterday..or one of the them.)

 

...

It is the boar Trwyth..the sacrifice the speckled lord of Prydain in his twice-embroidered coat                                the bleeding man in green... and if through the trellis of green                                and between the rents of the needlework the whiteness of his body shone                                so did his dark wounds glisten. ..

And my heart it is heavy for love I not will come true…and I hear that blackbird sing my love and I make believe its you…

But oh,,that blackbird it is a pretty bird…his song makes me smile so true…oh I wish that blackbird where you my love…then all my dreams will come true…”*1
