Report for Eleanor Comeau

Pool Boy is a DJ/Producer who – after a long life of toiling away at his craft and never receiving credit has decided to put together a volume of his work and announce his retirement. I need some artwork.

As a monument to his own greatness he decided to produce a 10’ bronze statue on a plot of land he owns in a small town. The land has one giant pine tree; a clearing; a grove of apple trees and a grove of plum trees. Pool Boy has a black cowboy hat and a beard with some grey in it. On the statue – Pool Boy wants his eyes to be crossed. A red laser shoots out of one eye and a green laser shoots out of the other eye. Maybe there should be a small pool too but not for swimming.

Eleanor – could you please draw this for me?

Sincerely, 

Casey Hallas

P.S. The photo is to show you the scale of my hat but I don’t want my sunglasses in the picture.

Apocalypse Family

These are abstractions pushing into the unconscious - forming the names and basis for pushing certain elements forward. They are meant to be more about process than content, however, in preparation for some figurative work. I expect the group to be around 25 paintings in all. The practice is leading to a formal approach - I'm wasting a lot of materials and putting too much time into the work when I don't have a subject.

Hallas Park

I scored a little plot of land in a small agricultural town in Washington State. I have chickens and goats for neighbors and the people are poor. That is perfect for me, to blend in as a hermit. The parcel has about 30 mature fruit trees on it, the scrolling plums are my future subject and the shadows of the seasons. There is a barn nearby with artist studios for rent. I want to take care of the trees and use the fruit to make jam. I got some trimming done this year but little else…a quote for an industrial building. A woman from Lewiston recognized me from my Youtube videos at The Lounge at the End of the Universe. Isn’t that funny!

Song Tree grows the idea that a song is alive. An artist should release multiple versions of their compositions. Songs change as they are performed and are never really finished. By creating this archive I’m using Song Tree to show the larger effort that goes into creating recorded music.

Trauma

Attacks to the psyche are attacks to the body.
