"half time"

(amy winehouse)



my kind boyfriend has given me access to his backyard for when i need to do extensive spray painting. ♥

this is just a first quick test run from last weekend, but i have some much larger and further layered cassette stencil works queued up.. coming very soon..

"you know i get bent, i'm a bender.."

(el-p "stay down")

i shelved it for awhile, but i have a ton left to do on this cassette biz. now that i've finally secured a comfortable spot for spray painting at the dog, i'm picking up where i left off. this one definitely is not resolved yet (another layer of chrome at least), but the process is making way for a lot of new ideas, if nothing else. more to come..

AUTO-REVERSE: Closes this Sunday 5/29!

For those who didn't catch my lil' solo show at Art 101 last month, this weekend is your last chance! Gallery will be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 1-6pm. Visit art101brooklyn.com for more info. Meant to post this sooner, but here's a few quick pics from before and during the opening (which hardly reflect the amount of lovely people in attendance!). huge thank you once again to everyone who came to see the show!

Walter Benjamin's "Outmoded"

Gonna get nerdy one last time..

My final paper of graduate school for mona hadler's art criticism and theory class. Felt like I was running around with a paper bag over my head while working on this thing, but somehow it turned out pretty decent. it's an analysis of benjamin's ideas on obsolescence, dialectical images, profane illumination, surrealism, and hashish. click link for PDF.

grad art residency winding down - at top speed. it's getting weird.

thesis show prep..









yes, more chrome tapes..



learning my limitations with multi-medium layering (for example, spray paint plus screenprint ink does not equal stable ground for oil-based ink, i have proof)..




as for the mike lewis collaborative piece i started a few seasons ago, i think i've done enough confused damage.. mike, what's next?
