circa 2001
this one goes out to all my boys!
i’d like to start us off with my orange flamed valentine rose
as a tribute to all my boys in foreign lands…
then through a curtain of skaterboy hair to lords of dogtown
a movie that was born from a documentary based on facts
the skating and the acting totally had me hooked
but it was the cinematography and art direction that spoke to me
the movie takes place in 70′s venice beach at a run down pier
which has this wonderful edge-of-the-world kinda feel
that gets me every time…much like the amazing beach-front
ruins from baz lurhmann’s romeo & juliet…
would love to be a set designer for this kinda thing
it sets so much of the mood for a film..
shady dealings
a return to my hidden grove… back in 2002 during a outdoor sculpture summer intensive workshop kinda thing i did 2 outdoor installations in this shady grove of trees right off of a pathway. it wasnt far from several buildings and students walked by it to and from wherever. but when you looked outward from within this shady hollow everything seemed removed and distant…
while the space was relaxing it was also frantically alive with the dappled sunlight and the branches shooting out at perfectly awkward angles. it was quite the invigorating atmosphere for artistic endeavors.
my wonderful friend katie cooper snuck this picture we took the class together and laughed our asses of the whole time.
oh, the city paper just redesigned their classifieds website, so do feel free to browse my flashy new classified ad! with pictures and everything!
he’s got a ______ and knows how to use it!
oh the joys of the wacom tablet…
and i could get lost among photoshop layers.
how would i fill in the blank?
a fiery web of liquid potential.
anyone else?
clouds and wows
kinda delirious today… stayed home from work
feeling at odds with myself and saw similarities in the sky
it was as if a sunny day & a stormy one
had both reserved the sky today
and were fighting over who would get to stay
and the results were wowing me
but out of nowhere a huge spectacle of a bird
appeared before me and i would follow him anywhere.
sketchy selections 12
a few sketches from back in the day…
first, a rumination on divorce…
emotional/physical/temporary, whichever it may be.
a sketch of calder’s Black Cascade, 13 verticals 1959
the only thing i have ever considered tattooing on my body
but still haven’t gotten up the nerve to go through with…
and then a celebration of some ancient egyptian love?
