This is better than the Oxford English Dictionary! Ok... don't quote me on that, but seriously, thank you for the insight and inspiration. Delightful! "It all boils down" to bullion cubes. I think there is a poem in this... Not sure I can get it composed by the time you return from London though, but I'll keep it on the back burner and see what I can cook up. :)

@TheSupersurgical Well...thanks for your interesting little story! 'Nobody' can be a very good teacher ! for sure. The *unknown Arts* you speak about are the very source that any *great* creator hits on within his or herself....you don't know where it comes from...but you do know when you hit *fountain* and it pours out. It happens to the few...and is not decreed by class /sex / or race.

@Hellishcrusade ...something funny about the Cézanne paintings that are credited for pushing cubism forward, well the 1 or 2 of them that is as being paintings he was like.... fuck-it,, & left them as is in a corner or some such.

Sure would like to know the providence on his pieces that fathered Cubism, something tells me they where found after he died in a pile of fuck-its.

@ljped I know of Cubism, I had not know that old dirty bastard Picaso was involved with it though.

@TheSupersurgical As of lthe past several years, I mos admit that I have thrown that to to the wind since I have become set in my ways as far as painting goes & developed my own style. I will never forget that day though. "Et ignotas animum dimittit in Artes!!!!!!" Thanks for Cubism info :)))

@TheSupersurgical Ever since then I have gone to great lengths to avoid seeing any visual representations of various styles of painting, although I love reading the history about them. My reason for this is to live by that motto "et ignotas animum dimittit in artes" & avoid poisoning my mind as much as possible.

@TheSupersurgical & he pulled a paper back book out of his back pocket and showed me this underlined phrase: "et ignotas animum dimittit in artes" & asked if I knew what it ment. I said no, then he explained it roughly meant "he set his mind upon unknown arts". We wrote "et ignotas animum dimittit in artes" on all our skateboards and jean jackets for at least the decade. Ive come to learn that the phrase translates differently from translation to translation.

In 1979 my older cousin's let me ride on their Nash banana skateboard. In the summer of 1986 I found a professional skateboard at a local garage sale for $5. US. I started skateboarding all over the neighborhood. I met a older skater & we hung out, one day I showed him my new drawing on the bottom of my skateboard, he asked who taught me how to draw. I said no one.
