Here’s me feeling all Leonard Cohen, or something.

Lonely New Year

Better half got stuck in Pittsburgh due to wind and ice, etc. New Years was a mellow affair. Hung out with some friends. Watched fireworks in the frigid wind.

Hamlet

I keep nudging this painting that I started painting two summers ago. You can actually see the start of it in a time lapse I used in this video.

Screaming Guitar

Saturday after Halloween was an H day: Hung over we ate Hamburgers and watched Horror movies… Today it’s back to Hub and working on the preface part which I started writing late on halloween night a bit haunted by wine. It’s kind of a violent death haunted period I was writing on and it sort felt right to commune with those ghosts on all Hallow’s eve. Naturally today I deleted everything I wrote and started over, but the genearl map I’d left myself at 1:30 a.m. Friday was indispensable. Here’s a painting on a toy guitar that I’ve been working on for a few weeks.

Hanging Myself

alex — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 03:52:25 +0000

Not funny really in this time of Infinite Jests, but maybe it is really exactly how I feel. I mean in the sense of eternal return, or Metampsychosis, or however you spell it and whatever Joyce was talking about…. I’m hanging the show. I feel like a worker… in the Marxist sense of that word: working on the ladders with the back into it. I mean to say that hanging a book is a physical act. I’ve been training for it like a boxer at the gym.. but my fucking thumbs are still weak for the push pins and the map pins and the pins and needles and needles and pins…..feel like a carpenter… feel like Christ crucified… stigmata on my thumb. LOL. music here is some odd Brian Wilson post Smile mid mad period song. Fucking lovely and perfect fit for my raw time lapse. More to come…

Souvenir

alex — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:28:07 +0000

Just a little documentation of the show at Monkeytown and some drawings I started at Galapagos last week and finished yesterday in the studio. We showed Orson Whales on an i-phone propped on the bar and then played with two channel projection in the back room. It’s nice to have little souvenirs of late nights.

Conversations With Myself

alex — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 18:20:24 +0000

Recently, I’ve had cause to want to point out the documentary bits out of my last couple of shows in Portland and New York. They were extruded onto the blog in bits and pieces several months back. I thought it might be nice to have them all together in one entry so that I could just forward that link to people. It becomes something like a four channel video piece if you can play them all at the same time, or a story if you play them in order. The box gif is new.

Tristram

Finally saw A Cock and Bull Story last night. I drew these pictures during it. I found it to be one of the more clever films I’ve seen in while. Leave it to the British to be literate and funny. I also dreamed I could fly last night. It’s been a while and it was good to dust off my wings.

Silent Self

alex — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:00:33 +0000

I can’t speak for you, but I for one am sick of my own voice. Here’s a self portrait that’s been sitting in the studio for a few months waiting for the blog to go figurative again.
