The video is a little stream of conciousness musical riff on Dylan and the Kinks… it is a gesture towards two new film projects I’m “Writing” in hopes of “shooting”… or remixing stuff shot. I’m trying to blog, but also make “serious” or “finished” works. Can’t talk about art without throwing quotes arround everything. Why is that?
The painting is on a cigar box top and is obviously influenced by seeing deKooning and Rauchenberg at the MET, and the Bugattis at Allan Stone Gallery… However, the biggest influence is all these damn wonderful cherry blossoms.

Sakura Redux
This I’ve been using as ambient video on the wide screen i-mac. In i-movie HD it makes a nice musical, visual eye/ear candy for drawing, or scanning, or whatever. You can dowload it and play the quicktime on full screen, or watch it in VLC, or i-tv….
Just meaningless beauty, but when is beauty meaningless?
Last Night, She said, "Oh Baby Don't Feel So Down."
Or was that the night before last? This is my preBday Kunst Krawl in search of Moby Picasso vlog. to quote the painter, “That Bastard never missed a fucking trick!”.
The book is a finsish of my start from Bob in Austin Texas… details following….anyways, Always a treat to look at Pablow while ipodding Miles in the MET… the Pace cubist cinema show goes a long way towards proving the obvious (though somehow I think Arne Glimcher wants to take credit for Picasso and the fourth dimension…. which is just absurd…. but fuck of a great show and I suggest you see it). Then the Met Barcelona show where I ran into some fierce Picasso and Miro and a chair I remember from Allan Stone’s Office. Sweet Little thing and so I ran off to look at de Kooning and then up to Allan Stone Gallery to see a few of his rare Bugattis. Seeing deKooning and then a Bugatti made surprising sense. Then I ate and drank wine at Rosewater. It’s good to be the King.
Orson Whales
This is more or less a birthday gift to myself. I’ve been drawing it on every page of Moby Dick (using two books to get both sides of each page) for months. The soundtrack is built from searching “moby dick” on You Tube (I was looking for Orson’s Preacher from the the John Huston film), I couldn’t find the preacer, but you find tons of Led Zep and drummers doing Bonzo and a little Orson reading from the Novel for a failed Italian T.V. film…… makes for a nice Melville in the end.
Cinqo de Mayo I turn Forty. Ahhhhhhh the French Champagne.
Schoen Cern
another cigar box abstract…. weird ab ex Persian miniatures, or something. This one points to beautiful Cern, Switzerland, where they are building the worlds lagest super collider…. there to see the big bang, made very very small… we hope….(insert apocolyptic song here…Door’s “The End” perhaps?). In another nodd to French politics/art films… Here’s the election from the eyes of Binjam in Nantes, France. Follow the vimeo link back to his page and check out his amazing animations.
Snowing Flowers
Red Angles
another cigar box abstraction I’m working on… went all red after looking at the gate in the Japanese garden and I just stumbled on Remmmy’s May first video on Vimeo. Thought they belonged together being all red and all.
