0632pm - Exchanged words with mother about a phone I borrowed from my sister. The verbal exchange was non-threatening, non-violent, and only involved articulating that fact and making sure she understood that she did not have to pressure me or force discomfort onto me everyday, for me to return the phone I borrowed*. I was not allowed to take my phone with me She had been harassing me about returning that phone to my sister eventhough she was not present when my sister first let me borrow her phone--she thought my sister's behavior was strange, and she thought that the reason it was that way was because my sister didn't have her phone, which my mother revealed she believes is a kind of sedative for her, or normalizes her behavior.

*0634pm - Asked sister Nilajah if she needed her phone back 'to use right now,' and she said no. Mother was a witness. Mother had boasted about abusing 302 mental-health-enforcement edict to repeatedly have my sister interned in a mental hospitable for minor behavorial hiccups, and for having me arrested in my home by the Philadelphia Police Department, handcuffed in bedtime clothes and forced, as well, to stay a mental hospital every time I 'every time I get angry and argue.'

I'm making this public in solidarity with all other victims of this treatment. These will continue to be living documents, so feel free to submit information, questions, or stories about this form of abuse. King Ball Media still has books available online to purchase, and I'm still anticipating the release of forthcoming sequential art books and books on art and art-writing in general. BTW, I'm not voting this year either. I've already explained why.

My book ‘In Celebration of the Decisions I Usually Make’ is available on LULU: https://tinyurl.com/y85js5bc     and  Amazon:  https://tinyurl.com/ydxwo4vg

'In Celebration' started as a collection of travel notes connected to art viewing. What it emerged as is perhaps one of many forthcoming books on art-tourism. It explores the everyday, the artsy and perceptual as a means to better understand what it means to critique as well as create formal 2D art. Art obsession is combined with a general interest in travel to forge yet another path in art-writing. Justin Oliver Walker is an artist and critic who lives and works in Philadelphia, PA.

me.

This is me. This is my page. This is my art. Columbia University grad. 10 years unemployed. Watched and followed everywhere I go. I'm not an advertiser (My art is copyrighted. My designs are copyrighted.) I'm not an unofficial prisoner of anyone. I'm not being creatively recruited by anyone. I don't need security and I don't have an official or unofficial security detail. I'm not making a movie or casting or location scouting. Generally speaking, I travel. I don't communicate in grunts, loud timed coughs, and sign language, so I won't understand you unless you speak to me. You can walk up and talk to me. I can't help you or help anybody else with another problem other than art. I'm not that guy. I'm not a cop or government worker. You have to seek a professional for that. I don't totally have a problem with strict binaries, but I don't fuck with extreme ones. I'm not a political representative, so I do shitty job of keeping track of my political behavior. That could change with employment, but for now....no. I employ selective knowledge and selective observation, which means I can't always prove to you I'm smart or even possess the expertise I had ten years ago. I know, tragic. I'm not a star, not even an art-star or an up and coming prize-fighter. Talk to me directly if you have definite work for me. You don't have to go through anybody else, and I respond to everyone (jow2013@gmail.com). I don't ghost. Buy Kanu's Trek #1 on Comixology. P.S. I'm not okay with an MRI scan, minimally invasion surgery, and other kinds of modulated intrusions outside of an official hospital. I don't read into colors and double letters and numbers. I'm not into schizophrenic biker gangs. If you have a definite problem with me, for whatever reason, and you want a no rules street brawl (fight to the death) just text me or email me, and we can schedule it. Im cool with that. No hint language, though. And don't change your words up last minute. I'm in Hiroshima, Japan, at the Hiroshima Flower Guesthouse. The guy in the photo. Take care of yourself.
