Lookin' at my bitch I bet she give your ass a bone
Lookin' at my wrist it'll turn your ass to stone
Stretch limousine, sipping Rosé all alone
Double-headed monster with a mind of his own
Cherry red chariot, excess is just my character
All black tux, nigga shoes lavender
I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
Had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired
Before his jaw shattered climbing up the Lord's ladder
We still speeding running signs like they don't matter
Uh, hater talking never made me mad
Never that when I'm in my favorite papertag
Therefore G4's at the Clearport
When it come to tools fool I'm a Pep Boy
When it came to dope I was quick to export
Never tired of ballin' so it's on to the next sport
New Mercedes sedan, the Lex sport
So many cars DMV thought it was mail fraud
Different traps, I was getting mail from
Polk County, Jacksonville, rep Melbourne
Whole clique's appetite had tapeworms
Spinning Teddy Pendergrass vinyl as my J burns
I shed a tear before the night's over
God bless the man I put this ice over
Getting 2Pac money twice over
Still a real nigga, red Coogi sweater, dice roller
I'm making love to the angel of death
Catching feelings never stumble, retracing my steps

Unsterbliche
"kronprinzenstrasse (unsterbliche)"
inkjet print on found image in found frame
2014
heres a new piece, maybe my first finished work of 2014. i say maybe because the text was made before it was printed on the found framed paper, and the text itself either as a digital file or when printed on paper is itself a work(seen below).
i really like the simplicity of making work with a computer and a simple inkjet printer. the whole studio fits in your backpack. although in my most Benjamin moment i do believe that the work is not actually finished until it is printed out, physically edited, framed/mounted, and above all signed and dated. touched by the artist.
could i be making this once discarded framed illustration immortal by printing an image on it and pronouncing it as a piece of artwork aka something that i now care enough about to document, preserve and maybe even attach a monetary value to? who knows.. thats why the work was made.

Unfortunately, you can't trust your senses today, making it difficult for you to distinguish reality from the illusion. Trickster Mercury is scrambling messages as it travels through your 12th House of Imagination. Using your fantasies to complete the picture may be the best you can do, but the results might be misleading. You could convince yourself of nearly anything now, so it's better to wait for clarity to return before making any critical decisions. In the meantime, relax and give yourself permission to indulge in a bit of creative daydreaming, instead...
