dirty pic of frank page, cartoonist

dirty picture of frankThis is probably the dirtiest picture of me that you will ever find on the internet.  The forlorn look in my eye is not act… it is a very real cartoonist, really tired.  What you see is the portrait of a man who cleaned nearly 5 years of accumulated clutter, building debris, objects of pet destruction and a few broken mops from his surrounding empire.  It was no easy task considering the spring snow, sleet and rain that kept toying with me.

The mud?  That was a lovely bonus.

The good news is: all is done.  My studio move.  The yard…even parts of the garage have been re-organized and de-cluttered.

The bad news is:  Now we have a lot of room to start the clutter process all over again.

I think I’m going to take a break from real work and actually draw some cartoons.

there’s clutter and then there’s clutter…

i tend to keep things.  i have become very adept at not only building shelves, but finding space to put those shelves in.  in fact, if i could build a shelf within a shelf i think i might just possibly maybe have enough room for everything… no extra space for future things, just room enough for the clutter that i have.

there are days where the clutter is comforting to me… like insulation from the cold, cruel world.  and there are those other days where i want to call the “AMERICAN PICKERS” guys to back their van into my driveway and rob me blind.  but, even in an empty house, i’d manage to establish a few clutter piles and clutter shelves…pretty soon, i’ll have to figure out how to build shelves on the ceiling…
