    About this ebook

    50 works of art by Keemo. This book illustrates that the literary world and the art world can peacfully coexist. Keemo's portraits are equal parts painting and words and give unique insight into his subjects, the artist and the world around us. This is a book for the art lover, artwork for the book lover, and in the end each painting and each story is really about each one of us.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      All The Good Ideas Come From The Words We Exchange

      2010. Acrylic and ink.

      Is that suppose to be hair on top of the head?

      She asked.

      No, it isn’t hair,

      I replied.

      What is it then?

      She asked.

      It is supposed to be ideas,

      I said.

      They don’t look like ideas,

      She said.

      What do ideas look like?

      I asked.

      I don’t know,

      She replied.

      I don’t know either,

      I said.

      I guess they look like ideas,

      She said.

      I think so too,

      I replied.

      My Night On Earth (in 4 acts)

      2010. Acrylic and ink.

      Act 1:

      Years ago, I gave up caring what people think about me and my art and my words because they are mine and it is me and it is what I do and it is what I am. There would be no purpose to all of this if it was for any other reason. It really is that simple.

      Act 2:

      I was working on the king painting and the dog was at my feet and I put a pillow behind me in the chair because my back is still in bad shape three months after hitting that tree and yes I took a pain pill tonight not only for the pain in my back but for other reasons, I suppose.

      Act 3:

      It was late and we were talking about life and people and art and I remember saying to her, It doesn’t matter what art is, it just matters to understand that all rules in art are self imposed. It sounded good at the time and it sounded like I knew what I was talking about but I know inside that I am learning just like everyone else.

      Act 4:

      Don’t look for answers from people who don’t ask questions.

      Three Years Is Long Enough

      2009. Watercolor and ink.

      We were out on the patio. Just the two of us.

      We were at the Winchester on Wealthy St. I was drinking Arcadia and she drank water and occasionally she took sips off my beer and as we talked I could see
