First Frost

It’s my first day of residency at Frost street and I’m not even there yet.  Plumbing and domestic matters have taken me away, but also a dwelling on the past as a way of shooting forward.   Javi and I are supposed to smoke a Cuban cigar and begin to figure out how to let this new show out of it’s cage

The Shining

Gearing up to start a Residency at 17 frost from Nov, thru Jan.  Most of the work will be of a narrative and more or less figurative nature, so I’ve been drawing abstracts in the spirit of contrariness.  I’ve never shown a lot of my abstract work, but I never stop making it.  I guess I’m afraid that even the best abstract paintings (like Kline and DeKooning and Twombly) sort of end up as decorations/trophies for rich idiots.  They can sort of drift into the background and be ignored.  I guess you can ignore Mozart too, so it shouldn’t matter,  but then I never wanted to be Mozart, I wanted to scream and rock.  Still abstraction is my first love and my favorite work to look at or make

Do you suppose I could draw Donyo as a bird? A little thing with wings and a human head?” “That sounds ugly,” She says. “I think it will be funny,” I say. So tune in later this week to see the flying cog.
