perhaps it's easier to go in through the out door.

if anyone still looks at this blog.
i am sorry for the lack of updates but i am head over heels in love with instagram.
but here's a gesture of the last few weeks in nyc, lala, and montauk.
xL

we trudged through brooklyn draped in colored snow and smoke.

our hair was white, the grandma fur was wet+we laughed stumbling through the bitter taste of cold.

cedez+i had a wonderful tromp in the snow last night....i've rarely had the experience, if ever of walking on completely fresh, unmarred snow in nyc...
in conclusion, existential talks+snowday walks-tuesday was a true fact-delight.

in other news,
i've been listening to a lot of this cass mccombs song:
"i went to the hospital"
..................in which he sings, "i wanna be famous for falling in love."
to which i say, what a great romantic/artistic/narcissistic lyric.

might even say it's influencing this artist statement in a nice melancholy fashion..

(as it pretty well vibes with some existential leanings of mine: see simone de beauvoir-my new favorite existentialist. [p.s.why didn't we learn about her rad chica shit in philosophy!?!])

anyhoo, have a listen if you've never, or it's been awhile.


oh+mikes's highly anticipated circa 2010 mixes, ***smoke***+***mirrors***, showed up in the mail this week!!! (click on those links to see brandon's full break down+mike's best/worst albums of the year)
(with some very familiar fotos as album art:)

thus, i'm delighted to be able to introduce you (or remind you if you're cooler than me) about these two great jams i've got on repeat:

pepper rabbit "none shall sleep"
+
bear hands "what a drag"

+in case you're curious about what goes on in my head during the art making process, i thought i'd share some recently googled research topics:

ritual
pop art
nymphs
ideology
narrative
witchcraft
mythology
shamanism
on the road
woody allen
existentialism
thelma+louise
dazed+confused
transcendentalism
social anthropology

take heed and pay those open container tickets or you could end up in the big house.

honestly, what a crazy crazytown week...
+now, we're off to kaia+ben's wedding weekend.
have fun+be safe y'all!
muchos besos para ti.

especially since it's gonna be my last brooklyn night out for awhile! cedez, xabi+i are taking the tarlow family volvo up to mass this weekend for our gal kaia's wedding, then monday they're dropping me in boston to go westward..as lady turner and i are headed out to stay at the chateau to work on a little somethingsomething--will fill you in when i am contractually allowed to divulge..i've got a one way ticket so after a week of hard work..we'll move onto couch surfing to arrange for a different kind of work- on the beach, in the canyons, shooting and generally jamming out. (i.e. no 4th of july party this year)..then after a quick bop back to bk to pick up mi senor+to squeeze the shariceE-we're going downeast for some time in maine...

i tell you all of this to guilt trip you into having drinks with me tonight+because my blogging may be spotty for a bit, so please bear with me.
