trains, planes and automobiles brought this distance of dreamers to rest.

about to head back to the shop for the second day of install+i have to say, it's looking pretty right on! thanks to the magical work of our install boys and my dear friend and oft-times curator katharine.


+i'm happy to report that zing magazine posted about the show right ahead of warhol's gagosian show, marking the first time my name has been in print next to his--not in my own artist statements...10 year anniversary awesome is what i say to that!

+as always, further foto updates are always available on my instagram..so follow up if you'd like.

my love is building a building... (XII)

by E. E. Cummings

my love is building a building
around you, a frail slippery
house, a strong fragile house
(beginning at the singular beginning

of your smile)a skilful uncouth
prison, a precise clumsy
prison(building thatandthis into Thus,
Around the reckless magic of your mouth)

my love is building a magic, a discrete
tower of magic and(as i guess)

when Farmer Death(whom fairies hate)shall

crumble the mouth-flower fleet
He'll not my tower,
laborious, casual

where the surrounded smile
hangs

breathless

andy warhol can't get the ketchup out.

i've read quite a few of his books, autobiographies, diaries et al+am still surprised+delighted with his queer+wondrous ways.
also, that napkin seems really crunchy.

happy thursday y'all.

i fell hard for the magnificent earth pounding.

these days, the words drum and circle in combination rarely hold much appeal..but last weeks loomstate/pamela love/spoke visuals MAGNIFICENT EARTH situation was absolute perfection. hell, i might even go as far as saying it was my favorite fashion party i've attended..ever? in no small part, because it attracted not just the usual fashion cuties but also a slew of my favorite musically inclined buddies.

now, as has lately been the case, i was too busy getting groovy (with some favorite babes of blogtown- kat, elizabeth, and laia) +seeing all my aforementioned friends-to stop+take any fotos of the actual (40 drummer!) circle...

but just before we left, i remembered about this here blog+the whole foto-thing-that-i-do, so, i snapped these few shots in the hallway on our way out...

so, in conclusion, can we do this again?
i liked it very much.

ohio bound.

off to cleveland for the weekend for some family fiestas...hopefully sharice will keep working on the sketchbooking whilst i am away.
besos.
