Thinking about my next adventure and its destination. I’m desperately missing Japan and Russia, but there is still so much uncharted territory that it seems unwise to return to either, yet. Decisions! I can, however, tell you with complete certainty that I will NOT be going to Dubai. In a turn of wonderful fortune and thanks to the massive effort put forth by his friends, colleagues, and many of you fine peeps Diz is finally returning home from Dubai where …
Afternoon tea in company of wonderful women at the lavish Arium. The talented and worldly Lisa Mei kindly switched cups with me – I wanted blue roses. I hope to see them all again soon. Then it was off to Element to hang my paintings. As you can see I was very sleepy from the previous night’s festivities. After, we headed out for ramen, walking through colorful neighborhoods of Greenwich Village. One of my favorite walks in recent history. Then …
It appears I have no time for much beyond photo-blurbs , so the rest of my New York trip is a tale in pictures. To recap – by this point in the night we left Molly’s opening, stood outside Heath Ledger’s building and went on to the first night of Dances of Vice. There was a puppet show There was singing by the beautiful Nicki Jaine My dress held only by strategically applied rubber cement. Lucas wore a fancy coat …
Doodlin last night – found in an abandoned sketchbook and finished it.
Bought this bento box in Koreatown. It promised me a dreamy future. BIG TOMORROW somewhere over today, happiness wait for you don’t look back and don’t worry. I believe, you should be happy let’s seek for dreamy future, we can fly to be free
Monday. Drinking coffee ground with new grinding mill, eating a self-made red velvet cupcake and making plans. To commemorate, here is Vee’s cat ominously lounging in my wheelchair.
Just a quick little fun thing. The one on the left is almost done, the one on the right is basically an underpainting and will not look so Fafi after layer #2. I don’t love painting on wood but a change is good on occasion. Oil, wood.
Where we stayed in NYC
Need to paint my nails. Painting on wood, instead. How is everyone out there, in the world?
It’s 2 am. Moments ago, a large taxi driver handed me a Russian Christian Ministries flier in the elevator of my building. “Please come – Saturday, 11 am.” He seemed to really mean it. After a pause I talked about the churches in Russia, how beautiful they are. He repeated “Please come”. Is nowhere safe? — This prompts a mini Flickr recap of recent days. Not motivated for NYC #2 update, yet. New painting, very early in the process. Oil …
Flew Virgin America for the first time, which was very pretty and slick. Sadly, the seats didn’t recline nearly far enough for an overnight flight and the seat to seat chat seems a bit on the creepy side. Click the image below to be taken to the Virgin set on Flickr. Stayed in Brooklyn’s Park Slope with Mark – college friend of D’s – and his ladyfriend Sophia. I’d never spent time in Brooklyn before, and really dug it. Their …
my Moleskine and me
What the hell should D. and I do, where should we go? Tell me everything you know! I’ve been there a couple of times, but it was long ago. We will arrive tomorrow morning ready for ACTION. And, of course, if you’re in or around the area, you must come see my work at the Dances of Vice Festival this weekend and say hello. Clickity click!
Just as I was mentioning my plans to re-create my Rococo technology designs in actual metal yesterday, someone talented took it upon themselves to create this delightful 3D model. Brings the project to life, it do.
This is a direct cross-post from Coilhouse, my appologies to anyone who is reading it twice. Diz and Mil. Friends, one of Our People is in serious trouble. Mildred’s partner, Diz, has been arrested in Dubai for melatonin, an over-the-counter aid for jet lag. You can read the full story here, on Mildred’s LJ. I quote: We kind of knew he would be profiled because he has long hair and looks oriental (they are very racist against Asians in Dubai, …
