i'm sad to report that the artist
known as porous walker is dead.
he will be missed by many.
the following is an e-mail i sent
last week:
"It is with sad news that I must report to you
that the artist known as Porous Walker is dead.
He died last weekend while on an excursion to Lima, Peru
in search of a rare Tiki Toki bird. He was stricken with
the rare and deadly tsi-tsi virus that is found in the
Tsi-Tsi fly. His death was painful and possibly one of
the worst ways a person could die. His internal organs
liquefied and he drowned in his own bodily fluids.
A 1 page article in Juxtapoz Magazine on Mr. Walker
will be appearing soon. This might be the last thing
we shall ever see of him. Barring a group show at
Mr. Seiben's Okay Mountain.
Porous will live in all of us as long as we draw
boobs or penises roasting marsh mellows and splatter
paint with paint pens. His legacy will go on as
long as we continue it. In memorium I will be getting
a slice of cake with Porous birth and death dates
below it. I suggest you do the same.
Please let people know that this God among mortals
has passed through the veil to the other side.
He must be remembered for the artist he was and
by those who admired and loved his work.
Porous leaves behind his wife Cari, daughter Cedella
and brother Jimmy DeMarcellis.
Isaac McKay-Randozzi
Mr. Walker's friend, Agent, Manager and personal photographer."
jimmy demarcellis is out and about with
mr. coppola touring the country. he's in
boston currently.
the new quiet life line is up. i'm big fan of the
apple design. check out the new
volume of the camera club book,
inspiring photos in those pages.
nice one andy and jennifer!
