i'm into the look, the language, and those frickin boots.
i'll take it all from spring thru fall.

(video genius found at gnarlitude..thanks jen for the radical tuesday tip off)

spring is springing, time for some of this:

i love these amazing blue wedge boots from mini market. though i gotta say, i am both sad+glad that they're sold out in my size (i need to save up for my upcoming topshop stop)...
+ these rings by timothy liles come in a pack of rainbo colors..i love a packaged set of anything+crayons come in handy. dontcha think they could for brunch time illustrating at egg.. hmm..

tonight...

so many places to go..but one sure thing is: john waters at marianne boesky gallery

portland, maine. august 2007.

from time to time, what is mine is yours.

stephen shore.
"ginger shore, causeway inn, tampa florida. 1977"
mitch epstein.
from his project, family business.

mu jyou: there is nothing that remains the same.

chikara umihara graduated from the icp general studies program with me+xabi in 2007. since then he has been diligently working in the realm of mitch epstein+stephen shore. he's stuck in tokyo trying to get his visa sorted but for now his survey of american life can be viewed on his newly relaunched website..

mañana, mañana.

who doesn't hope to make it through.

an audible dessert of most certain means.

i'm relishing this song, fangela, by here we go magic. i went to see them play a few months ago at zebulon+i was delighted through+through with their performance. the drummer, peter, is a dear friend of my bff j. wiles.. besides being exceptionally deft at creating brooklyns best manhattan, he is the drum master on one of the hits featured on my spring soundtack. the band is just back from sxsw with loads of buzz + are about to go on tour with grizzly bear. catch them before they bounce at the music hall of williamsburg, next tuesday.
see you there.
+sorry for the lame youtube video but apparently i don't know how to embed mp3's..bad blogger

we linked arms to the waterfront

just after finishing up a meeting with the lovely christophe (about a potential foto blogging gig at nerve.com), my buddy joel (the albertan's main man) called me saying he needed band fotos by the end of the day for some promo.
i grabbed my polaroids (! my 680 is fixed!!!), some film packs+headed to their rehearsal space on n.6th.. we meandered over to the water to the newish park off n.7th and kent (the one with sweet manhattan in the background).
i shot one pack (10 fotos) +c'est tout! we were done, with 3 that they loved ready to go.
perfecto.
(not my best shadow shot, c'est la vie.)

dear readers, i want to sincerely apologize about the crap quality of the digi work as of late. my lumix is still broken+i can't find the warranty-but i remain hopeful, +thus not (yet) buying a new one..also, i have been taking tons of polaroids but gues what?..we have misplaced the power cord to our flatbed scanner+thus haven't been able to get them up on here.
however, i borrowed some from josh last night, so we're on the up.
quality control--coming soon.

p.s.
they have a residency that starts next thursday at cameo gallery..more info here.

what a way to leave a lovely impression.

we had a houseguest and he makes divine drawings and fantastic films i thought you should know about...so, go check out nicolas and his partners blog here+go to CANADA's main site to see their amazing music videos+ad work, amongst other delights.
(y muchas gracias nico!! we both adore the drawing.)

she wil always be my first collector.

ms. katharine barthelme has quite the collection of sturges work. i went to her new west village apartment last week for a galpal catch up session, and was delighted to see how much of my work was hanging out...this years ball foto, london polaroids, last years mossy trike, a thesis print, a short lived pipe cleaner heart project, and some pop art candy sculptures from '03.
thanks love! more to come (whenever we can get together sans vino-we'll actually do some negotiation on the marilyn piece:)...

she came off as quite a proper kind of lady, until she fell down the stairs.
