Collective Unconscious
I spent the afternoon with Will Croxton of the Royal Wylds and his beatiful baby and we watched some old vids of the band at Magnetic Fields and talked about scoring the Let It Be Taciturn turn turn movie and the upcoming shoot for Kimbo single and finished off with watching Paul Simon rock Little Surfer Girl from the Brian Wilson Tribute concert at Radio City that Queen Sylvie got moi roi ticks for a past B. Day. The evening turned into a Future Book romp with the Institute gang and entourage going toThe Animal Collective show at South Street Seaport. Let’s face it. Mos Def had it right: Brooklyn Rocks the best and it’s fun when it rocks Manhattan and then you spill into Chinatown and blind delirious laughter.
Monkey Boy Types and Scribbles
Monkey Book 2 was a rather mind blowing lecture by artist/information engineer and all round great guy, Brad Paley… this is sort of a Mother’s day card meets portrait of the artist as a success story, rant of a lunatic, art history lesson… or something?: you tell me.
Music is a mash up of Animal Collective, some annoying kid kicking the subway seat with glorious train glee, and The one and only John Lennon and his fabulous Beatles, produced by Phil Spector if you can believe it Jackson Pollock.

The War At Home (or Pug Nose Redux)
Well we started in Veitnam a few days agao and I thought it was an odd transition into the Arc Along The Watchtower, but as I thought about it, it felt sort of fitting…. I would never have guessed then that we would be here now… but so it goes… so much for reunions… so much for unions… so much fo onions… so much for so what… Still working on this painting… I’ll update the gif later… tired.
Arc Along The Watchtower (Part 1)
this is an experiment with some new technology, using an old piece. I’m temporarily replacing the videos with silent versions, pending some permissions on music (sound versions here… Meanwhile, you are encouraged to play d.j. and dramaturg and mess with quicktime players to create a soundscape.
They hadn’t seen much of eachother lately, but toninight was the night of Phil’s big opening… It was a small show, in a small gallery, of small drawings… a group show.
It was the big opening only because it was Phil’s first opening in a long time.
