paycheck to paycheck
where is it spent,
"we hold there truths
to be self-evident"
follow your money
& you'll know
who your massa is
all men created
equal & all
What can you say in 160 characters? Go to Monkey Man. And for my friends at Sunday Sketches, a pen & ink I did of Monticello, about 20 years ago. It is actually done to scale. I am traveling this weekend and left the art materials at home so enjoy the blast from my past.

Woah deep 160 again Brian. And you can draw too! I am off to see your Monticello.
Happy holidays Brian Miller and family.
Brian your sketch is amazing, Architectural drawings are some of my favorites and this one is done very well.
Dude, the sketch is brilliant...and your words, well I guess my massa would be shoes and tech stuff...lol
Nicely done sketch Bri
and your writing magnificent in 160
have safe travels
However ... after looking at your sketch and reading your golden words, I must declare that we are not all equal in talent!
Claps over their crap!Bravo,nice one man!
Lovely!!
Take care
Also amazing drawing!
Seems like everyone is my massa but me!
Very nicely written...
That sketch is awesome...
I am a fan of your art now... :)
Bravo on both Brian....wonderful!
joanny
you are talented! That is a wonderful architectural, very detailed!
That's an incredible sketch Brian, wowzie is all I can think of to say!
Just when I think you will run out of words and poetry, and prose, you come up with things deeper and better and include sketches. . . Love this
You can draw! Anymore hidden talents? My grandfather never filed income tax---he said "all out-go, no in-come".
Oh, your southern roots are showing. Not to mention your "talent gene."
i love that you can draw and write. that's a wonderful combination....enjoy your travels - xo
amazing! kind of cosmic - my husband and I were talking of Monticello this past week.
cheers, dana
"follow your money"
The bank is my massa for the moment, and I have to say,
by choice.
I likes this piece alot.
Always wonderful words.. oh but your sketch is just beautiful. You're so multi-talented.
Great words for this time of year! Where does it all go. This drawing is amazing! Really great job! Such a talent.
Hope you and your family are enjoying a relaxing weekend.
smiles
What an amazing blast from the past! Nice to meet you through Sunday sketches :)
Brian, you have alot of hidden talent, dude! :) Love it alot.
Your drawing is wonderful Brian, you are so gifted! And your words, well, they dig in deep.
The 160 is really good. And the sketch is very, very good.
I think you ought to try singing tenor like Placido Domingo. (Heh, maybe there is something you can't do.)
Great sketch, Brian! And your poem is spot on.
You are a very talented man Brian. Writer, poet & artist. Amazing.
so true!
Montecello...gorgeous...went there once on a family vacation years ago. To scale? You're amazing. :)
TJ and his founding brothers would be pleased. A fine Sunday 160. Always appreciate you playing along.
I used to think people who ran their own businesses were the most free. Then I ran a music store for a while and discovered that every customer who walk through the door was my master.
just thinking...
abe lincoln would have looked cool with a mohawk.
lovely sketch Brian. And the 160 is great as usual too
the originl closing lines were...
all bow
house of the rising sun
which would have pushed it more political than person...and focused on the massive debt we are accumulating to certain countries...
singing tenor..i need to think about that...lol
Love the sketch and the words. Very good Brian you are very talented.
A lot to think about there Brian - but a splendid sketch to look at whilst we think.
i love and hate the title at the same time cause it's so true (even if we know it shouldn't) and it makes me feel uneasy..and your sketch - just wow!
Nice piece my friend. So true ain't it?
Follow the money and you'll know -- oh yes indeed! Good one!
wow, this is a beautiful drawing, good that you saved it all these years.
awesome drawing
and good contemplation to have
Great deep one
so much- massively- said in just 160
;)
What a beautiful drawing - thanks for the blast from your past!
Enjoy your travels...
wow, you really did a great job on this one! Merry Christmas!
wow! love this sketch!
you write truths
awesome!
Your pen and ink sketch is beautiful, Brian.
For some, sadly, there isn't even th paycheck right now...powerful 150, Brian.
Brian what a beautiful drawing along with your words. Blessings.
You are certainly a multi-talented guy!
This is just amazing, you are very talented!! :) ~Lauren
follow your money
& you'll know
who your massa is
ain't that the truth! wise 160!
oh, and I love the title
Say Hi to Tom and Sally for me...
Gee.. I am scared to see where my money trail leads! A deep and thought provoking one, Brian.. yet again..
High five on the 160 and the drawing. Hope you're traveling somewhere warm and the trip home is easy.
Cheers, jj

Hi Brian, I say it every week, you are great with expressing yourself with words. It's a treat to stop on by! Thanks!
OK. you can draw, you can write, you are kind, you visit those who visit you, you leave encouraging comments to little 8 year old bloggers....ummm...there must be a chink in the armor somewhere....
I am so happy you keep posting your art! Magnificent!! I love sketching myself.;)
