"time is a master, time can be a disaster WAAOW!"

(dub side of the moon "time" by easy star all-stars)

this weekend gave way to some rooftop spray painting. finally made something of my first firework experiment back in june. all in all, i'm happy with the results, both this 4 panel "in the black/in the red" take and the smokey cityscape..








finally took control over this rickety runaway train of a painting.. when in doubt, white that 'ish out..

took a couple short breaks from NYC and made rounds in Boston, Philly, and Reading. somewhere in there i listened to incubus' "make yourself" album and lit some fireworks on top a forgotten painting.

some like it hot

where have i been? hard to say. the summer sun has kept me constantly in motion and abruptly inert, depending on the day. and now that i'm 30 (as of 5 days ago), i'm more restless than ever. post graduation i've been more preoccupied with finding work than pushing paint, but after feeling like crap about it for months - and still without new work - today i finally started messing around in the studio once again. true to form, i've got a handful of stuff in progress, all of which too soon to tell where they'll lead..

"you are the circus, i am the freak"

my brooklyn college residency is officially over :(






so while in between studio spaces (and while in a state with lighter restrictions on explosive materials) i've finally indulged my desire to physically collide two life-long passions:

1. making art on canvas
2. fireworks






can't decide if this is totally juvenile or totally genius. all i know is i'm excited! special thanks to my partner in crime, steven b cold. some raw footage..





and the result of this first attempt..
