Closer
Music video for Donald Johnson’s song, “Closer.” Recorded By Javier Hernadez-Miyares at his Rego Park Studio. I like to call it the Rego Ragga. The instrument you see at the beginning is a small Indian made synthesizer that is used to play Sitar and tabla against etc. It fills in for those weird squeezebox and crank driven drones that are used in Indian music to such wonderful effect. Javier likes to collect all sorts of odd little synths and electronic noise makers I thought this one would work well with the “Eastern” sound of this song, while still being contemporary…. plus I thought switching it on would make a good beginning and ending of a shot.
Finish Frost
Finished drawings from the Last few weeks drawing at Frost. Over half of these are already sold, which is nice.
Norwegian Wood
Some things I made above, some stuff I saw below:
And some starts on wood
Big Ideas
Some of the large cardboard paintings I did at Frost Street. Leather King and Bank of Amorica are collaborations with Henry Matyjewicz (aka Poster Boy). Pouring Downtown was done with Javier Hernandez Miyares.
Underground Man
An improv from the last Zipperhead rehearsal. Mostly for the archives, but enjoy if you care to watch the process of writing some new parts using video instead of a pen. I was watching Orson in Touch of Evil and I DreWrote this. Boy was he good at playing bad.
Pot Luck
Press the photo to see the play list for Sunday’s Pot Luck Open Mic. It was our biggest turn out and this time people brought food and drinks (a behavior I really want to encourage people!). Lot’s of old friends and new friends and many perfect strangers. I painted one singer, Carly Howard with ink on piece of scrap sheet rock while other people created a slew of drawings. I hung some on the wall.
Long Legged Ladies
Walk up and down the city streets in silk summer skirts and tall boots. Maybe its all the rain? Here is a work in progress.
Jung Lions
Installing the Lions with Javier at the New York Public Library.
La Belle et Le Bete
Hung some paintings for the Rock Show at 17 Frost in Williamsburgh. Paintings will be up all summer. You can stop by and visit if you give me a heads up (in other words open by appointment. And there most of the week painting… some of these paintings will change!
