Journal Entry: Wed Mar 8, 2006, 9:37 PM
Right, so, I'm in Indonesia. Indonesia has some feelings about internet, that is, the connections are pretty lame.

I AM here as an Artist in Residence (fancy, eh??) which really, is what everyone here is, Dutch hippies LIVE to come to Bali and be artsy. In any case, I'm DEFINATELY here to produce as well as teach, im hanging out with some missionaries really but the focus is on growing this community here, being artsy and whatnot, very different from knocking on doors and being like "soooo... Jesus?" and more on buliding relationships. Which takes a VERY long time, but the art classes are for art, and if the people get involved with the center here, they have the opportunity to get involved in the religious aspect if they like. so my job is to teach art and make friends. Niiiiice right??

I'm brainstorming right now a painting to do with the Jump song Cathedrals, a song which has the unique effect of making some folks transport wistfully to another, beautiful land in their minds, of making some folks cry, and ive even seen some get downright angry. Powerful work, it is, and I hope i can put it up while im still here, but i dont know if ill have access to a digital camera. if i seem to dissapear till may well, thats cause im here. Perhaps... perhaps.... indeed.
