Nothing really

2011-12-25T01:01:00.001-08:00

I wrote this on a piece of paper in a fancy restaurant
in the middle of nowhere in November.
It started on the larger frame
which was a water damaged mass of
someones unwanted photo memories.
So far it looks like this.

I also found this one which has a crusty copy of
some happy little blonde precious moments kid on it.

This is how it came out when it was finished.

The leftover letters went here.

Christopher HH and I are going to be in some sort of show on Bleeker street ( details soon ) in the teens of January I can guarantee a video of mine maybe these will be there as well.

2011-12-05T21:32:00.001-08:00

I've been making copies of my necklace out of different materials (these are wax and smell like cinnamon). My idea is once I figure which material works best is to affix them to the trunk something like this. I am also making damaged copies of Mary figures with HH.

I found this ancient trunk around the lower east side,

these pictures are when I initially painted on it its a lot further along now. It took me a while to even start something on it since its awesome looking. I'm not really sticking to a plan on it besides three people.

Yeti and I have been printing propaganda for a performance these two women are doing at honey space called Panties for Diamonds. It was originally Yeti's gig but when they said she was going to be screen printing and they had no idea how to do it that's when I came in. The owner of the place always talks about how swoon built her boat there when we eat together. The opening is tonight 6-10. There are three rooms, one has a desk that almost doesn't fit in the room, the second is the "softing chamber" and the third I'm not sure about.

2011-05-07T12:47:00.000-07:00

Today I feel like showing you how I do things.
Also this Tuesday 6-9 I have three things in the FIT E basement.

1. Find/ draw something you like and
get it printed in all opaque black on acetate or vellum.

2. Make a second image that partially covers the first,
that creates the trap color with transparent colors.
Line them up exactly (green crosses) and
place them on the exact same spots
when you shoot your two screens.

It will print something like this above.

3. Print it. This is what it looks like when I print it with teal and red.

I also have some of these guys

Here is what the full print looks like.

I'm on behance now its a pretty professional looking site.
A friend of mine who works for an artist rep referred me to use it.
Its not as exclusive as drawger, but it is selective
and you can separate your work into projects.
I feel like no one can ever find me on the internetsss
even people who I see day in and day out.(I know it sounds insane)
I don't want to be JD Salinger (dissociated and dead.), so I'm trying to branch myself out..
infect peoples eyes with awesomeness.

Since flickr has a 200 image limit without digging into my pockets,
I'm putting the devils hop yard camp pictures here and theres more here.

I think they're pretty self explanatory.
It was really pretty there.

Christopher and I have been working on a performance together.

Its going to be for a group show on gender issues.
Christophers idea is to reenact and
reverse the gender of the pieta while we are painted red ~~naked~~
I screen printed the headdresses (below)
because no ones probably going to get it if I just lay there on his lap.
They first told us we weren't accepted and since Tuesday we were
....but now were aren't again.
No matter we are probably going to do it anyway until we get kicked out.
This Friday the A gallery on 28th 6pm-8.

Mine

UPDATE:
The reverse pieta performance turned protest/prank went just as planned.
It lasted a good 15 minutes until the gallery owner/curator kicked us out.

Thank you to Yeti (below) for inconspicuously filming
and holding our clothes.
Thank you to Meaghan for taking pictures of peoples reactions.
Here's some reactions to us.

And finally us getting kicked out.

UPDATE II:
Thanks to Yeti for finding this Easter egg below.
We are "nice" and "calm" (I think that's what they meant to spell) when crashing exhibits.

This idea may end up on a shirt as well. I may submit them to the cool kids senior illustrating humans basement show. People tell me I use too much blue. I can't help it I'm looking out of blue eyes. So I'm going to make idiotically simple things like these for a while because art shouldn't take super long to make or else when your done the time for it has passed.

Finally please watch THIS if you are confused about your place in life and keep it gangster.
