About

not sure how this thing works yet, first time ive used my real name, had lots in the past, was published as a poet often under various things,im new to paints/doodles/drawings first real attempt in the past year or so,not sure where it came from, you can find my most recent efforts as terence taylor at myspace.com/gasmanner , forgive the lack of output here,fresh start and that,i did just put up a few pieces under this name as others from days gone by ,if you check the saatchi search box ,utter horse i know,but a time truly captured as always,it's definetely gonna have an effect using this name,on any future happenings,i know that,no rush



'yeah'


i dunno,thats a month here on saatchi online,that is, a month using my real name for the first time, ive just spent it ,it being july 2011
in blackpool lancashire painting paints,doodling doodles, did lots 54 pictures,1 piece all, as always,1 piece all ,i worked hard,very hard a lot harder than i ever worked,when i worked in that department store in days gone by, i want to show the pictures here, but im struggling with the saatchi upload form, cant get passed the keyword section, its horribly frustrating ,i know i shouldnt let it bring me down like it is, maybe i shouldnt be spending so much time doing the (art) i am,but i am,and it is,im sure there's a simple explanation,

keywords?

things,them,there,happenings,happening


the leaders the lovers the not to sure's the faceless the followers the loveless bores the thinkers the drinkers the guys in hats the sayers the do'ers and the cant do thats


or something like that



tried dozens of times ,


leaders,lovers,thinkers,drinkers,faceless,followers,


and more,lots more


yes




no



starting to think ive been blocked before ive even started



seems a bit tight



,

forgive my ignorance im a poet not a prefect



mind you, in saying that,whats interesting about the goose i produced,during that month,that month of july 2011,is the lack of words ,non, only these in comparison to the thousands and more puked out as others anon elsewhere, a poem in itself

.


ignore that ,silly really,too many sweeties as an 8 year old


.

i shall try again later



.


those asking to see more pictures

he...he....he....he


do you know what i mean



..

no


it was all a bit of a headrush in the past,was travelling lots,mostly north africa
there are a thousand or so pictures out there as others anon,mostly as terence taylor at myspace.com/gasmanner and norris necante at myspace.com/norrisnecante, again a time truly captured but its fish im not proud of,

.

feels differant now,though still far too early to be any good at it

but time will tell

and again


no rush



.

,


forgive the simplicity,sunday morning and that

.

thats almost 2 months here on saatchi on line that is,almost 2 months using my real name for the first ever time,i spent it,it being most of august 2011,as i did the previous month,in blackpool lancashire,painting paints doodling doodles, again i worked hard,very hard,though did less pictures,46 in comparison to the 54 that previous month, i think that progress, again too many i know, but an improvement on july,though nothing like october,still feels like practice,but again,time will tell,no rush


,,


'yeah'

.



just uploaded most of augusts efforts 46 pictures

.
they look pretty poor ,

in fact they look shite

really should work harder on presentation

.

or maybe get myself a dog


.
,

.
should be kickers

hoping to find my groove in october



,

,,


no rush

'oh'


and ps


yes



those asking who my influences are,where i get my inspiration




..


simple really


.



cunt falls in love with sunshine island
cunt spends a decade or so
off his bollocks
going bananas
on sunshine island
cunt lives the life
easy money
easy every thing
cunt gets call from past
mothers taken ill
cunt returns to england
watches mother
who he's not seen
for over five years
die a horrible
cancer of the brain death
cunt gets job in big department store
promises himself he'll do two years
cunt doesnt miss a day
isnt late once
cunt says no to offers of sex
from more married woman in there
than there are cocks in wine bars
cunt has breakdown alone
wont seek help
even pick up the phone
cunt cant do doctors
cunt finishes his two years
fucks off back to sunshine island
out of season
up in the hills
cunt shouts at tree's
talks to bastard dogs
cunt finds therapy
in poetry
cunt becomes a poet
returns to england
cunt wont get a job
no
he's done that
cunt cant sign on
cos
he'd feel an even bigger cunt
than he does now
if he did
cunts down to his last few grand
cunts fucking off back to sunshine island soon
cunt asks himself why
cunt answers why not
then shouts
WHY FUCKING NOT



.

or something like that


.




.

...



read a good one recently



(being an artist)



i'll always remember
as a child
i was in the cub scouts
every so often
we'd go around
the local neighbourhood
knocking on doors
asking those inside
if they needed any
odd jobs doing
there was this one guy
big house big car
big every thing
i washed his car
painted his fence
mowed his lawn
i even cleaned his
bastard windows
after 4 hours
being as wrecked as any
12 year old
could be
he asked if i was
finished
i said yes
cunt gave me an apple


,,



'nah'


if the art aint no good
aint no ones fault but the (artists)


i know that




,


septembers gonna be a thing


.

dog there
tiny titch
mouthy sort
barks at other dogs
bigger dogs
much bigger dogs
confident thing
or maybe
its deeper than that
it was with philip
philip parker
deaf to the laughter
he honestly believed it



,,






simon





,




the name thing, that being anon thing,like i said,was travelling lots,didnt seem important at the time,too busy at it,i suppose,maybe if i do some decent paints/doodles,some time in the future ,some people will make an effort,go back have a look ,shame to die a village idiot,having written some poetry,that should have been written by people better educated in the ways of writing poetry than i ever was



,


but again ,time will tell


,


no rush




,





,



ignore all that, winters coming,not done one for a while,despite the gloomy tone of the piffle on show here and elsewhere,it was all produced in the sunshine in one place or another, looking forward to a change of scene







.

kevin wrote a poem,sent me the poem
.

this is the poem

.


bullshit little fucker its never to late
pull yourself out of this pitiful state
think of those in another place
aint got shit
but a smile on their face
the beggar in bangkok
those rent boys of bombay
57 tissues to earn a days pay
the hooker in holland
that street child of brazil
chances you have
that child never will
shoeless in sahara homeless in ran
that motherless baby in those wastelands of sudam
so whats your problem your big concern
you have health wealth money to burn
so rejoice be grateful you are a lucky sod
fall down on your knees
i thanks to ?



.


nice one kevin


,


love

.


obviously i know what your saying



.

in blackpool lancashire painting paints,doodling doodles

was gonna do less,did more,150 odd pictures,tragic i know

never was one for plans,though i am gonna grow a beard in october


,

,,

,

but i do know,if the art aint no good,aint no ones fault but the artists


,



so


again, time will tell,,,,


,




cuthbert


cooking



kettle



broken




short



story

NAH

,


fucking in a field up against a tree been flying all night dancing like a dickhead on smarties to the smiths limp cock cant get hard shoot piss condom on a branch little house close by guy standing watching wanking in the window i come out of the club early hours alone theres this girl sat on the wall checking my scooter id never seen her before pretty girl no more than twenty i was twenty six at the time we spoke briefly she said i reminded her of john lennon not to look at but to listen to i made her laugh it was over in an hour i never saw her again i wonder if she remembers me


will you remember me

will anyone remember me


probably not





but you cant kick a kipper for kicking




.




no rush


,



CAPITAL LETTERS

they are

'yeah'

thats almost 4 months on saatchi online that is

'yeah'

------- ----

had enough of blackpool lancashire,playing havoc with my hair

finished it off with another 90 odd pictures, 19 days in october

that makes 350 odd pictures , uploaded here on to saatchi online

in those almost 4 months, not sure if them been removed,never did get the hang of this thing,never go back and look,move on now,another town

will write about it later,got a sore leg now

art,odd fish isnt it


,


noticed the more i do,the better it becomes,the more it loses any magic,the more it becomes goody goody,like homework,like im sure those there teachers say it should be

,

but im probably wrong, will give it a miss for a while , other things to sort


,



shopping for carrots
as i do
young mother
3 children
between the ages
of 4 and 10

mother says
to the children

'why are you shouting'


one of the children

replied


'BECAUSE WERE KIDS'





made my day that

pure magic

poetry of the highest order



...



or something like that




,




that




,


oh


and again


ps



yes



no



oh


what

if

it was never a dream
but yet further proof of ones delusionary ways

'yeah'

i know keith
good lad
funny
likes a drink
enjoys life
business is booming

'see'

keith runs the local music store
my towns full of were gonna be the next big thing types
im not sure why
maybe its something in the water
or maybe its deeper than that
dont know

'anyway'

keith tells me
every day
some guy comes in to the shop
usually in his late twenties
early thirties
selling a guitar bass drumkit
whatever keyboard trumpet

'yeah'

its never the same guy
but almost always
the same story
a common tale
obviously
not restricted to my town


johnny bought a guitar
at 16
formed a band
with billy
billy bought a bass
that was 10 years ago
billy sold the bass
johnny kept the guitar
its up in the attic


'yeah'

tragic really
but thats life isnt it
we all have to settle down at some point
more important things come along
dont they
mortgage new curtains carpets kids
or maybe they dont
but that acceptance of failure does
when does it kick in
that your no longer wasting your time
but you wasted your time
when do you give up on the dream
and what does that feel like




,,







,,





he.....he......he......he.....he
