While on tour with
Bill Daniel earlier this month, I had the pleasure of spending a couple of (hot and humid) days in Little Rock, Arkansas at the
Arkansas Community Arts Center (ACAC). Bill did a two-night show with
bUZ bLURR (aka Colossus of Roads) - the walls at the ACAC were filled with Bill's Texas punk photos and bUZ's
stencil portraits (see below). I had a chance to chat with bUZ a bit on the second day about why
he started doing mail art, when he got involved in the railroad, and how he turned
Tav Falco on to Jack Kerouac books in high school growing up in Gurdy, AR. bUZ takes close-up flash photos of people and turns them into intricate papercuts, and many of these eventually become postage stamps. Today I was excited to get a stamp in the mail from bUZ taken from a photo he took of me in Little Rock!
