Finished up this mural last week in the King of Pop's loading dock. WILDLY IMPORTANT GOALS. SET THEM, ACHIEVE THEM!
making things
GIFS
Tried my hand at making a few arty gifs for the gif art show at mammal gallery. Pretty fun...
These black and white ones are from video documentation of my performance "Darkness" in 2011. I blindfolded myself and stayed in bed for 3 days.
THANKS
Just starting out the week by sending off some THANK YOUS that are long over due. Also, tomorrow is the opening of my solo show at Studio No. 7 - I'm excited to show off all my new paintings. After the opening I will post everything to my website/some shots from the event here. GOOD THINGS TO COME, STAY TUNED.
made a book--back on the blog
I have awoken from my absence and am back on the blog! Yesterday I bound a book that I started years ago. It goes to show: I may not finish the things I start right away, but I do eventually finish them....
We set up a little product photography station at my house, so I thought I'd snap a few pics. Enjoy my attempt at "stuff neatly organized" complete with some real out there photoshop retouching. I considered doing a step-by-step how-to-do for this, but you can google bookbinding on your own time.
'tis a few days after xmas
Hello internet! I hope everyone made a merry Christmas for themselves. Mine was very pleasant. --I'm the proud new owner of a vitamix. feel free to come over to mi casa for all your mixing needs! --Now I'm trying to get my ducks in a row, eggs in their baskets, trash in the can ... all that good stuff, so I can enter 2014 fresh faced, fluffy feathered and full of fire. Just you wait!
Until then, here are some shots of the New Years cards I've been getting together for everyone. I feel awestruck and unworthy of all the acts of love around me. I wish I could adequately express my gratitude. So, here's a small attempt. (stamp designed by my beautiful and talented sister michelle - she also happens to be my favorite graphic designer! - check out her blog here)
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY WHILE STRETCHING:
Needs opening: my hips / my chest
Needs strengthening: my fingers / my toes
Further notes: Un-clench me butt cheeks and tighten me abs instead.
