i've had a lifelong obsession with stripes
apparently so has
stripes make me think of many things
the beach and olive skin
saltwater and sunshine
boat shoes and lukewarm rum
perhaps these things are in my future
i'll have a hammock
a patio and a tin roof
a backyard of water where you'll find me
paddling in the reef with a sack full of lobsters
perhaps i'll drink from coconuts and read "richard brautigan"
under a string of blue lightbulbs and palm trees
as the sun slants over the gulf
Picasso at Vallauris.
The greatest artist of the 20th century is trim and muscular at the age of 70.
Daily swims off the Côte d'Azur help keep him vigorous.
When he's not at the pottery in Vallauris, reinventing the art of ceramics, or working furiously on his latest mural,
you might see him presiding at the bullring, wearing this shirt.
It's a favorite of his.
He borrowed it from the local fishermen (there's an almost identical shirt in his Night Fishing at Antibes).
I can't promise you this shirt will increase your creative output.
But as the man himself once said, “Everything you can imagine is real.”
Vallauris Shirt (No. 1192), for men and women.
