Sent this by email a while ago; stupid that the intarweb should be more reliable.
Dear A B P,
I just wanted to make contact... I hope your life is what you want it to be right now. I miss the days of LC, of an esoteric and interesting and vibrant group of people on n=9. I check the board and the LC website every once in a while, when I'm in need of some outer darkness to sympathise and resonate with the inner. I hope the blackness in your life is well and truly exhausted.
D. |

Not that anyone will care, but almost two years after the last "strip", I think it's time to put LC to sleep. I will draw the end of H.'s story as I thought it already back in 1999. It's bizarre how I could predict H.'s "death" six years before it would really happen. Because that's it, H. is dead. The part of me which woke up now and then and moved my hand to represent itself with H., lives on - but it's strongly weakened. And, I must say, I almost happy about that. As I slowly sink into my thirties, H. becomes a pale shadow of a past which now I wouldn't be able to sustain. The painful love, the strong emotions, the depression, the supernatural happenings, the bending and the breaking - it's all in a distant, blurred past.
Through the four seasons of his life, H. evolved and eventually changed into something that barely resembles what he was in the first strip. A fifth season would see him being so different from what he represented to me, that I don't event want to think about it. So, that's it: as soon as I will find some time to be alone and sleepy, in the heath of this italian July, the last...last cereals, will find their way to the site.
And I'll finally let go the grip I held on this final page for two long years, without the strength or the inspiration to turn it once and for all. |

I tried to answer to your emails two times, and both times I was told that your server won't accept my replies! Any alternative address?
Thanks

I felt giddy as a huge chunk of memory dropped from the ceiling and slid wetly in through the back of my head. Lost friends, lost time, lost places... lost self; there is no part of me that existed then still with me. We lose ourselves every moment, a few cells at a time. Who am I now?
Only through loss do we know our memories, only through pain do we know our lives. |

A sudden flash of vertigo, a feeling of another body performing the same actions, a sliding sidewards and earthwards while motionless, a rush of fear and recognition. A sense of loss. A flickering between familiarity and abscence, back and forth and ending in oblivion. |

Hey everybody. Do you think that a mans quality of life has anything to do with is physical appearance?
For instance:
A 26yr old man with an adolescent-looking body go's for a job which involves physical labour, only to be rubbed off and ill-favoured because of his lack of visual maturity. Then again, Isn't that discrimination on behalf of the interviewers? isn't that a crime?
Ability or a cat walk.
Do the same principals apply in all walks of life? |

So here I am, somewhere that has some culture. Tripped out by seeing buildings older than about 150 years. Still amazed by snow. Terribly impressed by my new research group. But still fundamentally me. Undecided about whether to rock past Verona. (Not in Italia, but close.)
Bis später.

Most people, if they remember Bobby Driscoll at all, remember him for dying alone of a heart attack at age 31 in an abandoned tenement in New York City. He now lies buried in an unmarked pauper's grave on Hart Island in New York. Bobby won an Oscar at 12-years-old, but was fired by Walt Disney because he developed acne. After that his life collapsed. He was 16 when he was fired for pimples and 17 when he injected heroin for the first time.

The Pauper's Cemetery is run by the New York Department of Corrections and staffed with prison guards and prisoners. Hart Island lies along Long Island sound within yards of millions of people, but No visitors are allowed. It truly is a prison for the dead.
If I could have my way, I would turn Hart Island into a park. I would run a ferry there and never charge anyone to go there. I would welcome all who are willing to come and visit. Having never gotten enough love during their lifetimes, the people buried there should receive all the love we have to share. And all of our love would still not be enough. Like Oliver Twist, they deserve more... They deserve paradise, because they have already been to hell.
My opinion is irrelevant because I don't count, The Department of Corrections opinion is irrelevant because they don't care; and The State of New York is irrelevant because to them it is a question of money.
It should be a question of love. I believe that the only people who have earned the right to decide the fate of the people buried on Hart Island are the people who loved them. Bobby deserves that much, anyone does.........everyone does.
In 2005, The Santa Monica Museum of Art, in association with The Getty Museum, will have a retrospective of the works of Modern Artist Wallace Berman. Mr. Berman's collected works and letters are in The Smithsonian Institution. The exhibition at The Santa Monica Museum of Art will include works by his colleagues and proteges. Among the paintings exhibited will be three paintings by Bobby Driscoll. Mr. Berman was a Mentor to Bobby. Bobby also studied under Andy Warhol and was a frequent visitor to his studio, The Factory, on 47th Street.
No one should be remembered for the way they died; they should only be remembered for the way they lived.
I never met Bobby though I have met some of his friends. I like him and I know that I would have been lucky to have had him as a friend.
People should remember Bobby as an actor, an artist and a poet: not a bad legacy that. |
