Most Definitely

Timelapsing the cog and installing some masks while my private little band seranades me:  Thanks, Steve, Javi, and Dave.

Big Mama Cog

Even as I was calling my mom about thaksgiving my Ex tried was trying to flag me down at the pass…. It’s my mom’s birthday…. and like the shitty son I am I spaced it again. So this time lapse is for MOM. You were born and so you are free and so Happy Birthday mom….just start talking at the sound of tone. This one will be Romulus and Venus… and this was the inspirado of little dogs yesterday.

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

Rome: Open City

I shall, like a bloated Hemmingway, be liberating Frost for the next couple of months.  I plan to show some things, make some things, finish some things, premier some thing and also do this big Cog mural as an entrance.    Romulus and Remus sitting on a fence.  They’d get back to work if they had any sense…

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
