Bushwick open studios june1-3 2012

Its open studios again. the time when we celebrate our artist peers, some of whom set a standard high enough to intimidate, others who throw all sensibility to the wind and rain. We are called here to question our own place, to draw inspiration, to find common ground, to call into question the very motivations behind our own artwork and methods.  But mostly we hope there is free food, or the promise of it. 

The following is a short list of basic visual observations made not of the artwork, but the people who accompanied me throughout the day's hapless romp. (click on the images for larger view)

pittsburgPA may 2012

the mayans say the world is gonna end this year and so i figured it was my last chance to check out pittsburg, so i went with ian, madness ensued, as is usually expected in the company of serious musicians, and took a roll of digital pictures that i am hereby presenting to you in no useful or organized fashion. they are simply a memorandum on the zygote level culture growing in this steel city of dilapidated colors and slouchy young people who proudly live sandwich to sandwich, and saunter from dive bar to dive bar with chests held high and shoe-laces untied.

           a moment of reflection before a day of rehearsals.

damn fine breakfast

a warm wind whips the rainsoaked trees. out of view is the dunkin donuts directly behind me

it is important always to make sure that the shirt isnt inside out. if not, you may have to take the shirt off again, fix it and then put it back on. that wastes valuable time, of which we had very little.
