The Great Plotnik

Early Plotnik


This is The Great Plotnik in his Was Supposed to Be Desert Phase, when he was first formulating the formulae and postulating the postulae that would become the backbone of Plotnikkie-ism. It turned out that Plotnik had been wandering in the Dessert instead. The unfortunate misspelling would lead him through oceans of heavy cream and caverns of chocolate bliss before realizing his error, moving to Saint Plotniko and turning to cabernet and bulgar.

These photos were taken in 1980 or 1981 by Plot's great friend Jamie Parslow who now lives in a cabin outside of Oslo, Norway. Jamie moved for love, but became a Norwegian National Treasure for his photography. These photographs are not those photographs.

Those of you who have spent time in the Dining Salon of the Great Plotnik World Headquarters and Meatball Kitchen have noticed the portrait of Janis Joplin on the wall. Jamie took that one and others on several other walls.

These photos mean a lot to Plotnik. There are more, in which The Great Ducknik, in her LA Phase, and Great PunkyDunky, still the Lesser PunkyDunky, can be seen. The Great BZWZ was as of yet unimagined, if you can imagine that.

The Great Plotnik really loves this one. What a dish!
