Christmas Presents

I made a couple pieces for Christmas. Here's two of them-Well! That's all for right now. Just thought I'd share.

LA Pics

So, I'm back from LA. It was a good time.

This thing scared and confused me. It's on top of a pharmacy. Nothing says drugs like a hobo-clown with a woman's body.
We were supposed to watch these little guys race, but I got really into Wii Tennis and made us late. So, no racing.Double, Double Animal Style. Diner. Old guys.
And here's the show!
I just want to leave you with this. It plays over and over in my mind. I hope it does the same for you.

Sneak-Peak

It's been awhile. I know. But I just finished some great pieces that are going out to LA today for a show opening up on Nov. 17th at Black Maria Gallery. The Show is called "Skip the Mall." I will be representing Baby Gap. Go see it if you are in LA, otherwise- bask in the glow of your computer screen. Enjoy!

Ice-Cream @ Barometer

This Saturday was the opening of Barometer's Ice-Cream show. Great opening. Lot's of fun folks and ice-cream. I ate bacon ice-cream topped with syrup. It was surprisingly good. There was also some cheddar and jalapeno ice-cream and rosemary ice-cream. The work was outstanding. There were some great paintings, cross-stitch, crocheted ice-cream cozies, an ice-cream chandelier and some of Jenna Wainwright's jewelry. It's all good fun and it's up through November, so go check it out.

What the F have I Been Up to

If you were to gauge my life by my blog you would think I were dead or under the power of a magic sleeping spell, waiting to be freed by the single kiss of a good knight, who in this story is played by a girl and not a guy, because this is my fantasy and not your little sister's.

I finished this drawing for my friend Jenny, for no other reason than she rules. I also have two pieces in a ice-cream themed group show at Barometer this weekend. I'll post images of my work later this week as a teaser. The show is Saturday from 6-9pm. Come, look, love, be loved.

Holy famous People!!

I'm terribly sorry about my Kentucy Derby picks. Who would have thought I couldn't pick horses?

I'm even more sorry that I forgot to bring my camera to work today. Why? Well, it's the annual Costume Institute Party of the Year. Hooray for gala events on Mondays.

I saw Naomi Campbell and some other Victoria's Secret model, whose name I don't know and google hasn't figured out how to search for faces yet so, I'm still at a loss. I would describe her as tall and also pretty.

I heard Jennifer Hudson was doing a sound test in The American Wing court which is decked out in all these crazy, motley colors and the Great Hall is covered in roses and has a giant birdcage with four live peacocks in it. The plates for the dinner are going for $5000, although that might just be the entrance fee. It's all for a good cause and it's probably tax deductible, but drinks are extra.

It makes the Greek and Roman opening look like a dinner at Denny's. Man, why aren't there Denny's in the city? Also, while I'm talking about old posts, I went to the Cooper Hewitt yesterday with my friend Peyton and you know what? They had that cool Labbit stool on view.

G&R Reunion Tour!!

So, last night was one of the many opening receptions for the new and improved Greek and Roman wing at the Metropolitan Museum. It was a fancy gala event to start off what looks to be a season filled with over crowded museums and small children putting gum on old things, besides their grandparents.

If you get a chance to go and see the new wing, you should. It's beautiful. Who am I talking to here? Mom? Dad? Does anyone read this thing? Anyways, here are some pictures from the event.

There were all sorts of or-dervs. There was roast beef that I later found out was veal, then someone told me was lamb. There were veal meatballs that were ACTUALLY veal, shrimp, some sort of carrpachio in a martini glass, lots of cheese and then a full bar. My girlfriend was happy with that. She likes the champagne.

The wing officially opens to the public this Friday, but chances are you (or even YOU) know me and could stop by earlier this week if you wanted. Just drop me a line, come meet me for lunch. Or don't. You can always wait to see it with the rest of the masses. Chances are it will be REAL crowded in the coming months. And something about that space makes me think there's going to be more than a few people touching, bumping and possibly knocking over some herculeses.

this is hercules/herackles/me after a bath and lion slaughtering.

Finally Fountain

So, I'm still getting used to blogging and working it into my day. Rather than giving you a full review of Fountain NY I'll just post my pictures. Hope you like them. It was a good time and a great show. I saw old friends and new work by artists I like. I even came across works by Heiko Muller. He's an artist I found while trolling the Internet and decided I needed to own one of his works. Now he's everywhere I look.

Anyways, pictures-

These are the boys from CaplaKesting Fine Art. I used to work for them and they helped put this wonderful show together. Dave Kesting on the Left and John Leo on the right.

Travis Lindquist, Colin Burns, David Hochbaum (larry to ricky) are always available to pose in front of their work and endorse soda. Aside from their solo work, they do collaborative work as the Goldmine Shithouse. This is an example of their work, I think. That's what they told me. Why would they lie? Next we have Brian Leo and Colin Burns, again. I forgot the guy's name on the left, sorry about that.


And finally- My wonderful girlfriend and her friend Jeff, he likes to overshadow her.
I wish I could give you a full run-down of works and maybe even a brief review, but is that really what you go to openings for? No. They're parties with art. Next one I'm going to? Thursday the 8th at the Met. Gaudi to Dali. Come back. I'll regale with more good times. Then I'll tell you how much I love Gaudi and also Dali.
