I thought he just writes the text and someone else does the drawings?

Yes, it's Alexandra Grant who did the drawings. Keanu apparently wrote the text and she illustrated them.

As for "drawing a bath" it means "filling the bathtub", in case anyone haven't put two and two together yet. I love how the English language lends itself to puns and word-play.

I still wonder about the bullfrog, though. I suppose I'll have to buy the book to find out what it really is.

I'll probably buy the book, since tonight is Chinese New Years eve, and it means I'll be getting money from my relatives. >:)

Happy new years to you, Ani, if you celebrate it. :D

the drawing seems...interesting...

Steidl Publishing's catalog for spring/summer has a presentation of Ode to Happiness (pg 19): http://www.steidlville.com/catalogue/Steidl_Cat_SS11_Q7.pdf

(I get the impression from the Keanu bio that it wasn't Keanu himself that gave them the info. Jekyll (2011)??)

Here's another page from Ode to Happiness. I wonder if it's Keanu's handwriting.

I don't know whether the pic will remain long on the website, but hopefully it'll be there long enough for you all to see it.

I found it here, btw:

Edit: After posting this I suddenly felt like listening to "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden. Took a while before I realized why.

"There's a black cat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop" :P

The poem, as posted on ugossip:

I draw a hot sorrow bath
with a misery candle burning
I wash my hair with regret shampoo
after cleaning myself with pain soap
I dry myself with my gorgeous white
One hundred percent and it will never change towel
Then smooth on my I dont deserve lotion
and i hate myself face cream
Then i put on my alone again silk pajamas
and go to sleep
when the hue has gone blue
and you cant quite grin and bear it
let this word picture remind you
It can always be worse

He is the enigma as always. Thanks for the updates.

Looks like he is printing all caps?

That poem is terrible.

It's Sad Keanu trolling the world.

I LOVE IT.

Vogon poetry at its finest. There's no doubt in my mind that he's trolling us. He's just too well read to unintentionally write an ode that's structurally and rythmically faulty, and then - on top of it all - call it "Ode to Happiness" when it's wall-to-wall woe and hurt and ouch and stuff.
