Love Your Wall

Keep an eye on this website. http://www.icynene.com/

It's a building material used for insulation. I just did a shoot for the product here in Cleveland, entitled "love your wall". Thankfully it can't get onto TV, nor can it be plastered onto billboards. But it very well might be everywhere else. I brought my own tool belt, well used as you faithful few can attest, and I made silly love to a wall. This crazy silliness pays a lot. Shakespeare, not so much. Which is more difficult? Guess. Does capitalism work? Yes, to a degree, as we are now seeing. Is there a better system, that values cultivated skill over goofy histrionics in service of a cheap laugh or selling stuff? You bet. We just haven't been smart enough to invent it yet. Well, we invented capitalism four or five hundred years ago (not so very long). We have the capacity to invent something better. But there are many many people who can't see the forest because it is obscured by the trees.
Time to get the chain saw.
