back to hands on art.

after weeks on the web and with the camera, it was time to do some painting.
i woke up in a bad mood the other day, in no small part because of latent fatigue stemming from aforementioned illness.
however, i realized it was also in large part due to lack of mixed-media hands-dirtying. i get pissed off, deeply,if i don't make time to work with these. so i put down the laptop and took out the oils.
they are so frickin' close to being done and showable/sellable. allowing me to move on from this body of work-of which most canvases were started on in 2005..3 years later 3 of them are nearly there.

sickE

st vincents stay

had to admit myself into the hospital today

my brother came over, he read the back of the tylenol bottle-where it states, if the fever continues for longer than 3 days, one should see a professional..[my temperature had gotten up to 104 twice in the last 2 days, and this all started tuesday night].anyhow, given that it was a saturday, our only choice was to walk..or baby-cripple step for me up to st vincents on 7th and 13th..
after waiting for 2 hours, they let me in but didn't let xabi in. so solo i went.
there i was in the midst of a whole bunch of sickies. and we're all just laying in our respective gurneys in one big long room staring at the folks across the room. watching the emt's bringing in guys with chest pain, a lady and a guy who looked already pale and dead, and a gal who'd suffered a seizure-to name a few.
add to said excitement was the symphony of beeps from ekg's and other metering devices along with the crazy-ers yelling for assorted demands-sandwiches, nurses, doctors, urinals..really ran the gamut.
had 3 iv's..pics to come manana.
[p.s. i definitely saw some dudes creepy ass by mistake]

happy birthday adam!!

sorry i missed celebrating, but i'm bed ridden with the flu.x

fever of १०२.2

R.i.P. heath leger

at age 28, my age. only one year more than janis or jimi.
he was discovered, facedown and naked by his cleaning lady and masseuse this afternoon at 3:35pm, after he did not answer his bedroom door.. they say sleeping pills were found, in the vicinity of/strew on, the bed in his broome st. apartment. thus it is suspected that he died from an overdose.. [apparently he had pneumonia and on top of that he had had trouble sleeping since playing the joker in the highly anticipated new batman movie.]

he is survived by his ex-lady michelle williams and his cute baby matilda, 2yrs.

truely tragic. he was one of the only actors, in our generation who, i had so looked forward to watching grow, mature, and develop. like johnny depp, jack nicholson or ed norton. just saying, this sucks. he was really talented and had a promising future...
i guess i will finally get around to watching brokeback mountain.
