Jackard Male

Greetings came in the post from Belgium by way of fripsmailart.blogspot.com/. This just as I was prepping my first found card (a Jack of Spades) to send off in a new mail art project I’m starting with DoubleYou in London. This one we might call Art Poker, Or Art Gin, Or Art Cards, or Art Shuffle or…. well we haven’t named it yet. It consists of finding a playing card in the street… something I do and collect because if it’s playful randomness… I mean how is it that you will sometimes find a random card on the sidewalk? It’s like finding a single shoe… Cinderalla of the game world. So the idea is that you alter this card in some way and then send it off to another artist to finish, or alter again and mail on… Could be interesting…. Shuffling the deck around the world as it were.

A document of the week so far using a broad brush mash up montage concept. The music is from Richard Young’s Saphie and was sent to my by my friend Dan the day we put my dog down. We listened to it during the last hours of Bailey’s while lounging and time lapsing life until Sly screamed: “What is this music you are playing!? Does it have to be so FUCKING sad!?” I think I put the Beatles on. They are good for most any occasion if currated properly: Across the Universe…. was the last song she heard from S.’s iphone, while playing fetch and rolling in the grass…. but I digress.

Anyways the Poem is actually Vladimir Nabokov himself reading Humbert’s Love Poem to a rapt audience… Boy can that fucking Russian read. He sounds like Welsh poet. To think that English is maybe his third language? I found it somewhere online and there’s a clip from an Italian dubbed version of Kubrick’s Lolita with James Mason (youtube)… I was looking for Mason’s reading of the first page of the Novel. There is a recording of him that I used to have on cassette. He did it brilliantly. Titles abound: Lolita 2000, Fire, Catch A Fire, Bailey’s Building and Loan, Humbert’s Butterfly, Kubrick by Brick…. I could go on, but in the interest of brevity a shall relent.

Red writing is from Paris 1998, in a cafe, trying to remember the opening page of Lolita… and failing.

Lolita

Fun with Muybridge from wreckandsalvage on Vimeo.

Here is a study for a show my friend Jauques is organizing where in artists paint a poster for their favorite movie. I stumbled on a drawing I did in Paris ten years ago and it was just me sitting at a cafe trying to remember the opening paragraph of Lolita. It’s written in red crayon, by a fairly winefuled me. It looked like something written on an Asylum wall in lipstick by a lunatic. Humbert Humbert Perhaps? Such the great anti hero and unreliable narrator combined. Seemed to match this wonderful Muybridge experiment by the brainiacs over there at Wreck and Salvage.

Working at the studio and working at home. Got a new scanner printer and in the morning I drew 12 frames and fed them into the document feeder and scan scan scan, the whole stack is done. I could have saved days of my life with this thing. It may allow me to make a lot of relatively quick animations for videos, etc… or one big one?

Drawings For Dental Floss

I made these doodles a few weeks ago while reading The Ascent of Money. They’ve been at by bedside table ever since. Last night I ate Korean Bar-B-Q (Kalbi) and needed a good flossing before turning in. I dropped the blue floss on the stack of doodles and when I woke up in the morning I was greeted by this funny mash up of thing and thing itself. Press the picture to see it larger.
