VIDEOS MADE BY A MAN FRANK SENT TO ME BY MY FRIEND FRANK (NO RELATION)

Gwinnett County Parks by Frank



Thanks Frank for making these videos, and thank you Frank for sending them to me.
Johnathan, your assignment is now to send me a video made by a man named Johnathan who isn't you.

WEEEEEIRD

Submitted for your confusion,
Warning, softcore pornography:


So this is a video of a young girl crawling around while someone films up her skirt.
What is she crawling around on? A concrete slide structure in Shibuya's Miyashita park. (Which was purchased by Nike, and is causing controversy, because it will be renamed NIKE park.)
In summer 2006, H.Kurata and myself painted the mural on that slide, A mural of then Yokozuna and grand champion Asashoryu, before he was forced into retirement (in dishonor). You can see our painting in between the shots of the girl's legs and butt. And here I was thinking that our mural was going to disappear after NIKE had leveled the homeless shanty town and turned Miyashita into soccer fields and basketball courts. (If they have not already.) But here it is, preserved for posterity. And I mean posterior-ity.

WEIRD!

Big thanks to America's Own "Mister N" for "accidentally" "finding" this video.

Now Internet, I want to ask,
Can I be famous already?

TICKA TIC TOC MY GOLDEN HEN, LAYING EGGS FOR THE GENTLEMEN, SOMETIMES 9 & SOMETIMES 10. AND WHENEVER SHE LAY LORD, SHE MAKE AN ALARM, COCK-COCKA-LEO!

thank you.

PART 4: THE GLISTENING






This is part 4, parts of part 4. Part 4 is currently unfinished and I am working on it.
PS- The first panel in the second image references Henri Rousseau's "Black attacked by leopard," progenitor of quasi-racism playing in the blurred lines between genius and manchildism. That's right, I'm calling you and Daniel Johnston to the carpet.
(Just kidding I love Rousseau. And I don't think that picture is racist.)

WORKS PART 3: WONDERS CEASE





I may not know what I like nor do I know art but these are scenes from part 3, thank you for looking at scenes from part 3.

OLD NEW WORKS PT.2(PS THIS SHIT IS COPYRIGHT AND WHATNOT SO I WILL CHOKE YOU OUT)(AMERICA)(THE WHOLE WORLD)

NEW(OLD?) WORK

Here is a sampling of some images from the thing I am currently working on, a comic called "Golden Age"




This is all from part 1 and I am already on part 4 but I am just getting around to scanning it all.
It's new but also old considering I have been working on it for a long time. Old new.
Altneu.
I started working on it in the attic of the synagogue until I went haywire, scaring the very rabbi who created me.
He erased the aleph from my name and I fell apart, back into the dirt and religious texts from which I was made.

PERHAPS YOU HAVEN'T HEARD

My lovely lady:
I am coming to America on May 19th, eleven o'clockish.

How long will I be there?
I don't know maybe a year or so.
Then I go back to Japan and get married.
Think about it.

OH, AND ALSO, JD SALINGER IS DEAD

JD Salinger is dead but everyone is quoting Akutagawa:

"Once he had finished writing "The Life of a Stupid Man", he happened to see a stuffed swan in a secondhand shop. It stood with its head held high, but its wings were yellowed and moth-eaten. As he thought about his life, he felt both tears and mockery welling up inside him. All that lay before him was madness or suicide. He walked down the darkening street alone, determined now to wait for the destiny that would come to annihilate him."
