Art in Everything

George Asdel

A true artist Philip Carey
sees art in everything
makes art of everything
He wakes in the morning thinking of art
Goes to sleep at night
dreaming of art
At home in his
foggy beach town
he gardens like an artist
he cooks like an artist
he sings like an artist
Nothing escapes his world
not pencil shavings
not medical supplies
not candy wrappers
not the sketches
from a thousand
meetings
not Buddhas
not sea shells
He exists inside his drawings
He dwells in his drawings
He gathers his drawings in books
where he leads tours
of his dreams
He draws borders and art
on post-it notes
on six foot poles
on walls
on envelopes
on pictures of Bandit
If you stand still he will
put art around you
Amazing art and life
of a rare
and creative artist
