From Wall Street To The Tombs

Wanted to try a traveling time lapse. I jerry rigged a tripod with a counter weight to try an make a sort of steady cam jib. A bit more wobbly than I’d hoped. Maybe do it right and do it HD, but I like the idea. We wanted to go from power to prison, but it turns out they will try and take your video if you shoot a NY prison. Luckily me and my partner in crime threw around a whole lot of charm and rescued the shot.

Under CountryStruction

We were Under Countrystruction for yesterday’s Open Mike. We honored Joe T. by using Posterboy’s cartoon of him from last week as the poster for this weeks event. We also let him open the show. It was a great evening again peppered by unknown talents coming out of the vapor to steal the stage. I drew a few of Joe T. myself… and everyone else too.

Something? Some recent Zipperhead shots and time lapses I wanted to play with.

POSTERBOY ’09

Sunday marked a great Dream Open Mic at 17 Frost. Here is the stage list from the show, but one of the fun things that seems to happen at open mics is a lot of visiting artists using my animation drawing table to stretch out a bit on the old ink and brushes. New York’s beloved Posterboy stopped by and drew a fabulous Fraud JMB style portrait of yrs truly and so did Brooklyn’s own Painter, Golfer, and Ranconteur Extradinaire, “Can’t Contain Ya” Tom Catania… also drawing yrs trly. Yep thats me playing some of my three (count em) power chords and trying to sing “Helpless”. Also apearing is IRT theater and the always lovely Little Dorit having a swell theatrical style birthday. Yep… I cried a lot this week, but I also wrote my first ever song and showed it at Open Mic… More to come on that.

Fetish

My mom sent me a snap of an old painting of mine up at a musem show in Maine about the Allan Stone collection. This bad boy hung next a deKooning in Allan’s office during the mind blowing retrospective they put on years ago. They almost sold it and I almost sold it… but no one ever bought it. It just is. Body and Soul. It is made out of several years worth of empty paint tubes. It was heavy… in many ways.

ELIZABETH from 17frost Here’s a special moment from The Wild Open Mic two weeks ago. The sound is iffy, and it takes a while to get going, but it was magic for anyone who was there.
