A Dream of Magic Beans and Facebook Friends by Porous Walker
I have a show opening on June 4 at FIFTY24SF gallery in San Francisco.I named the show, Haricots Magiques, magic beans, it is all about this dream I recently had, where I was in France and a french farmer gave me some magic beans, I ate them, and he freaked out and told me, I was supposed to have planted them. It was a great vivid dream, because I starting seeing all kinds of things, especially a bird with a string attached to it carrying a huge pulsating color ball, and attached to that were streamers, flags, and all of these clouds, imagine one of those airplanes that fly with the advertising banners behind them, only the 'banner' was made up of many colorful clouds,etc. and was as long as a skyscraper is tall. Within the banner were several colorful clouds depicting scenes and also there were a bunch of birds flying saying their names out loud, someone whispered to me that the birds were my 'friends' on the facebook.Than, after it flew by, there was a screening of a movie, only they had figured out how to project a movie against the night sky, so that everyone could watch it from their backyards, roofs,etc. it was amazing. The movie was pinnochio, and they said that it was a new form of movie watching, in LSD, but you didn't need glasses like 3D. Tripinnochio.I haven't done any drugs in a long long time, so this recent dream was quite interesting. At the end of my remembering of the dream, I was shown a video of several monarch butterflies and told that this is the symbol for my time of dying, and when I see this scene, my life will soon be at its end. More beautiful than scary, and somehow, the parade of imagery in the sky is connected.Either way, I drew all of the birds today and each one is a portrait of my 'friends'. I hope you can make it to the Art show to see the drawing in person and try to find yourself, or just simply delete our 'friendship' because this just feels like a gimmicky marketing trick. Thanks. All the best, Porous Walker

A Letter from Porous Walker
FIFTY24SF Gallery presents ‘Haricots Magiques: The Final Attempt by Porous Walker’ with an opening celebration occurring Friday, June 4th at 7:30PM. While conventional press release etiquette would have us provide you with a detailed account of the motivations behind the artists show riddled with flowery adjectives, this is a Porous Walker show; so instead we leave you solely with this open letter from Porous himself. Enjoy: Dear Reader,
I'm honestly a bigger fan of art than I am an actual artist. I've tried to stop drawing, sculpting, arting but I can't seem to stop. I'm addicted to that feeling of seeing amazing artwork, ideas and feeling the energy and spirit that created them and than allowing myself to let go and just make what I want.
I really try to work hard on my drawings, and I hope to live long enough to get to a point where I make something visually pleasing as well as purely concept driven.
I'm also looking for a job.
I live in Napa. I'm 35 years old. I want you and me both to laugh more than we don't and above all I want to inspire people to share what's in their minds.
My website is http://www.theothergoogle.com. My telephone is (707) 225-5173
Please come to my art show on June 4, 2010.
I am making some new artwork for the show, as well as creating a couple redux versions of some of my sculptures I made in the early 2000's.
I hope to have some free gifts for everyone that stops by the art show opening. I have also invited a few friends of mine to join me to share some of their artworks as well. Among those confirmed as of now:
Kristin Farr (http://www.kristinfarr.com) & Aaron Hodges
And probably a few more surprises.
Also, I have invited my good friends, 'Snugglemachine' to play some live music and compliment people who come to the show.
All the best,
Porous Walker
