Studio

the last two weeks have been kinda blurry, alot of studio time and long walks in snow flurries oranged by the street lights. black gesso-ing new works on paper for upcoming shows in new orleans. working in the studio in a borrowed old bathrobe, channeling my inner-schnabel. this is what i imagined NYC to look like(but usually it doesnt bc its not the 80s or downtown)the world feels complete when the image in your mind merges with the image of reality. sync-ing now........ pictured: post-halloween bounty ready for an installation somewhere. if your listening lend me your space.itll be cool i promise!, dramatic hispanic stickers ready for a forever home on some drawings.

The Brandon Teena Story

pre-nyc,living in the south,I used to obsessed with this story and relate to the cruelty of rednecks in big trucks that had "no fear" stickers on the back windows.

Spent the afternoon drooling over lolita dresses while paint was drying on the new pieces in progress. the majority of these are from lolitashow.com. when the grant money starts rolling in a plan on having a closet full of these for openings.

what is now.....

2.sometimes things end to soon.
i am sad i will never hear megan's cackling laughter echoing in the soho walls,the strength of her elfin hands and old soul, or her shoes clunking against the tile while the phone interupted our make-up sessions. i will never get to answer that unanswered email in my inbox i had been putting off to make plans to get together after too long. at the beginning of the world it was said the hum of "om" could be heard, the sound of creation. death is quiet,the absence of anything. i learned this in 2009. people are crying. people are talking,consoling,trying to fill that silence out of fear, awkwardness, or imposed obligation. everything is underwater and slow moving. more then my sadness i am feeling it for those close to her and wishing them peace.

3.sometimes it feels like the end but its not even close.
studio is thick and snail-ish at the moment.

i am singing this all over the house today......

"if Al Gore had a gay brother,

that is the kinda guy I'd wanna date...."- random quote from tv. sorry for the terrible photo of the studio.its a mess up in here. three canvases starting to look nice and layer-y. fall equals open windows while working, delicious.

went to my quarterly endocrin. appointment yesterday. upped meds another 25 mgs. as now i've developed the 12 year old tomboy scraped elbow symptom. who knew that this disorder would cause periodic paper elbows? just weird. good thing i've always been partial to watching bruises and scrapes like clouds that float by in the shapes of animals...and that i feel about 12 most days.....today on the way to the post office i felt the beauty of the sun on my bare arms with needle marks on one side and skinless reverse perhaps its the extra tsh in my blood or its just that magic of seeing another fall in NY.

happy to know there are things like this in the world...

SNOWGLOBE FREE POST: DONT WORRY

saw Nick Cave at the Norton. we both speak the language of sequins and glitter. it is mostly telepathic communication. think of it like those scenes in movies were you are in a dark forest and someone flashes a mirror that hits the sunlight gently and you know which way is safety. everything then makes sense. being around like minded folks are the sanity saving flashs that helps the world seem more earth and less dark sky.
moms and the elderly appreciated the show also. there is going to be a performance on the 14th. soundsuits sparkling, ocean sparkling, cannot think of anything more cashmere to wrap my eyes with. my mom is going, i am back in nyc. she has always been a sunlit mirror in that sense.

and done.

i hope to get one more piece photographed before i leave NYC for a while.

getting closer

pretty perfect....

very sneak peek...

if jesus had a siganature scent.....

it would most definitely be sandalwood.

"Heed my advice, wear the eye patch"

i was looking through d.'s photos from the night and thought i recognized someone in disguise. thank god he didnt see me wearing one blue contact and one natural brown eye. i turned to talk to one of my other friends at the party only to notice he was talking to the musician. i ran to the bathroom to takeout the contact and mini-hyperventilate.after collecting myself i walked out and joined the conversation. later that evening we ended up leaving at the same time. i walked with him to the subway and he asked what i did. i am an artist, do you have any advice? "Follow your own voice".

upon waking up i remembered see him depicted in a dream on a television show. I suppose that is just the kinda person he is. half human, half ethereal dust giving advice on life and style.

In progress

lots in progress post nola drawings. heavy patterning and sequin-ing still to go.
