Anywhozit.com
Welcome to anywhozit.com, the personal website of Todd Rodriguez, artist and poet and historian.
Developed to share the thoughts and creations of Todd, anywhozit.com contains an assortment of his inspired works. Most of the paintings found on the Art page are of an abstract expressionist style harkening back to the New York School of artists of the 1950s/60s. His free-verse Poetry evokes an atmosphere of the same time period. As Darryl Read, legendary British poet, actor and musician said about reading Todd's words, "you get to feel that old Beat route", referring to the Beat Poetry movement of the 1950s.
Todd is somewhat counterculture. But he is also Rock-N-Roll. He has spent many backstage moments with rock stars, both classic and current. You can view snapshots of him with famous musicians on the Pictures page.
Fifty-Fifty
A collection of poems by Todd Rodriguez and his good friend Mark Boninsegna of The Netherlands is available from Free Musketeers in the book, fifty fifty at http://fiftyfiftythebook.com or from bol.com. To quote the back cover, "the language is of the rainy street, the dim lit bar or the lone desert highway. The subject matter runs the whole gamut of the human condition. Love, Death, Life, Sorrow, Joy, Art, War, Confusion, Clarity, History and The Future."
forged of purer metal
been grasped
burning the unclad hand
of the overzealous weilder
such a glorious
weapon
not knowing the weight
poential for both
angelic and demonic
ends
his eyes blinded
by the starlike glow
of this fantastic
gift
laid in praise
at his
worldly
boots
