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.
Music Psychopop by Javier Hernandez-Miyares.

Here’s Collabamation of Loxy Fady, IT IN, and Poster Boy. Feeling quite the Feral, Ham-Lear(let) as all around me the kingdom is in flux and being torn to pieces… Demolition and Deconstruction abound around… There’s only oneplace where I can go:
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.
Vimeoffline With Essie Jain
Inspired to shoot a little still camera vid at the offline show. Inspired by one of Blakes Videos I screened at the last offline, I hoisted the Pentax by its lanyard and whipped it around for a verse. Another great night of Vimeo at Monkeytown. Life is good even if the sound on the Pentax leaves a lot to be desired.
To Give a Love, You have to Live A Love
Something? Some recent Zipperhead shots and time lapses I wanted to play with.
Dream A Little Dream of Me and You and You and Me
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.
