What up Populous? Here is a little story about Circus Gold’s Globe Trottin’ Amigo, Tim Brown, and the friends he made during his extensive World Travels, more specifically, The Philippines.
(The Philippines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
You see the while acting as the Vanilla in Manila, our man TB was busy curating an International Art Show…
“Van Gough cut off his ear cause of some girl”, bluntly declared Hillary Clinton look-a-like, Josephine Madre.
“What?!? Hell naw, hell naw”, exclaimed Keisha Jackson from Cunningham elementary school in 2nd period art class.
Well the evidence is finally clear. A pact of “silence” betweenVincent van Gough and swordsmen Paul “Wall” Gauguin Has finally leaked.
These two friends used to spar and study martial arts at van Gough’s art studio.
Paul Gauguin loved sword play and was know for his famous “apple chop” and “watermelon toss and slice” samurai skills.
Paul Gauguin used to boast that he put an apple on the top of your head and slice the apple in half with one 5o mile per hour sword chop. HE COULD DO THIS. And he did it all the time in front of large crowds at art openings.
Circus Gold’s own J(on) Law(rence) recently Silver winged himself to SF for 96 hours of flowers and good times, during which he managed to absorb some of Circus’ favorite San Franciscan stops: Shooting Gallery/White Walls/Varnish..
First, the Shooting Gallery (837 Larkin) for the DRAW show, a traveling plethora of paper pictures from notable ballers like Barry McGee, Ron English, Zach McDonald, Rusty Mills(Creator of Pinky and the Brain), Matthew Rodriguez, Rich Jacobs, and many more…
Draw was cooked up by Erik Foss and Curse Mackey from the Fuse Gallery in NYC, and received a little help from Capitol City Curator, Rachel Koper, after which it opened in Austin Texas during SXSW 07. Since, the show has traveled to the Stolen Space in London, and now to SF, where in each instance, it has grown and evolved.
