The Black Mountain Weeps – Rest in Peace Robert Rauschenberg

I was very sad today to read of the passing of Bob Rauschenberg. He has always been an artist who in some hard to define way has been an influence. He was partially the real life Frank Beam (if you know, you know). As I’ve been rediscovering the act of flowing ideas on to paper through pen and brush lately (yeah, sorry, low web activity because of that… that will continue for at least a couple of more weeks) this news hits me a bit on the side of the head for some reason.

great quote… “I don’t use ideas” oh, yeah. pure Beam.
