Lost in thought

I experienced a most unique moment today. I was sitting on my back porch having lunch. The sky was intensely clear and rich in it's blue hue. It was cold and warm at the same time, the sun, extra bright from the depth of color in the sky. I began to think about being older in my house. And then I started thinking about the fact that I could see myself living someday downstairs. Then suddenly I was the me downstairs as an old man, and I was looking back at myself at this day at this time and thinking how it was an extremely memorable day in my life. That things are were really pretty good, that I had made the right choices, as best as I could blindly not knowing any repercussions. Time and space felt extremely fluid. I was experiencing my present moment with all the nostalgia I hold for the memorable times of my childhood.

One Last Reminder

Just a reminder I am participating in A.G.A.S.T (Annual Gowanus Artist Studio Tour) this Saturday and Sunday, October 17 & 18 from 1 - 6 pm.

At this event, you will have the unique opportunity to get small (Recession Sized) versions of ELBOW-TOE pieces at extremely friendly (Recession Priced) prices. I will be selling 10 different prints from my latest street work as well as some oldies but goodies. These works are single color silk screens reduced to sizes ranging from 5x8 inches up to 12x10 inches and will be sold for approximately $30 a piece + shipping and handling if I need to mail them. They will be limited to editions of 30.
There will be a 10% discount if you buy the entire folio.

I will be setting up an ETSY store to make the ease of purchasing them more convenient for you. Once that is established I will have links from a shop section on my website.

Also if you are interested in acquiring these images in their actual size, hand colored and mounted on my traditional wood sculpture format please contact Mike Snelle at Black Rat Press. His email is mike@blackratpress.com .

My studio is located at 94 9th Street 4th floor studio 23, Brooklyn NY 11215.

Due to bad planning on the part of the MTA Smith/ 9th Street station is closed on the F and G trains. They will be offering a free shuttle from Jay St Borough hall to Smith Street. The quicker method for getting here if you are taking a train is to take the N train to 4th Ave/9th street in Park slope and walk down 2 blocks to the studio along 9th street. The R train is the usual local on that line but this weekend the N train is running local.

Grand Opening. Grand Closing.

Techtonic Perspective Shifts.

The fall air has really kicked in. For the first time this morning I could see my breath. I am at the point of switching gears for a while, a lot of work to do collaging for a solo show in London next year. It has been a very interesting summer into fall.

The Rise and Fall of Icarus. An Interview with MTV

MTV Brasil has finally posted an interview I did with them earlier this year. I feel like I am in the middle of a fashion sandwich.

And Now for Something a Little Different

I am about to jump back in full force to collaging. Here is a recent piece and an older piece, both recently pasted.

A little back story on the older piece(the one of the woman amongst the ruins.

In my show with Armsrock last year, at one point we were going to draw upon the writings of Eduardo Galeano. This was the first image that I made for that show. Both of our images turned away from that initial inception, and I have been weighing whether to sell the image for the better part of a year now. I decided the other day, as I worked on another drawing that it would be nice to set her free. I will put up the passage that this is based on a little later.
