shadow people.

 

 my friend ted is a cool genius and he directed this video for dr. dog. it was filmed at one of the best places on earth, the holiday skating rink. you can see a bunch of my favorite regulars and it's so beautiful that watching this makes my heart swell and my eyes well.

buckle up, we're wayward bound.

sorry i've been so absent. just fully enjoying these last fleeting days of summer.

banana peels we've slipped on and egg shells we've tippy toed over.

this weekend i'm going to chicago to see the reunion of cap'n jazz, one of my all-time-favorite bands. and i'm. SO. EXCITED!

like a fish.

in the last 2 days i've had my first, second and third swims of the summer. love it.

eternity.

have i mentioned before that all of my friends are geniuses?

mike fleming and alicia eggert are debuting their Eternity piece (along with other work related to time) for one night only - next friday in philadelphia at progressive sharing. the exhibition will last exactly 300 minutes. Eternity, which is written with the hands of 30 clocks, will last only one split second. i can't be there, but you should go see it fall into place at exactly 8PM!

cat card.

two wonderful cat driver's licenses that my friend got me from japan forever ago. they've been on my fridge for years and i finally got around to scanning them.

very necessary.

here is a t-shirt that i 'designed'. ripped from the headlines of my life! i mean really, it's a true classic.

all the words to 'shoop'}

here comes the summer!

hey guys, i made this mix for my friend jackie, but i've been listening to it tons the past week so i thought i'd share it with everybody! it's got lots of summer-y, feel good-y, dance-y type songs. a little bit of soul, a little bit of punk, a few newer songs and lots and lots of 90's alterna. it's great for working in the studio, driving in the car, boomboxing in the park, and just generally lovin' life [if yr into that sorta thing]. click the cover to download and enjoy! xox.

featuring: the undertones, paul simon, the anniversary, otis redding, smashing pumpkins, tommy james and the shondells, huggy bear, the wedding present, etc!

the slides in my collection.}

cat high.

my 10th high school reunion is coming up this year and i'm pretty sure that there isn't going to be a choreographed dance to time after time, so i don't think that i'll be attending. however, if i knew that my bff's val, cat and zug were gonna be there i'd totes go.

mail call!

in the past week i received mail from two wonderful people that i haven't seen in way too long.

the first was from my friend ryan in chicago who sent me these sweet navin/marie marrionette puppets.

the second is this AMAZINGLY PERFECT 3D holographic horse postcard from my philly friend jackie j. i literally squealed when i saw it. thank you both!

this is your brain.

this is your brain in graduate school.

for jerome — with love and squalor.

"what really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. that doesn't happen much, though."

r.i.p. friend.

$/$$

after spending a week looking at art that cost thousands to millions of dollars, it's really refreshing to see great work that is totally affordable. both of these posters, by eleanor grosch and wayne pate respectively, are hand screenprinted and both are only $40. seems almost criminal!

how much art can you take?

so i've returned from art basel miami with no money, lots of blisters and about 500 pictures! we went to 6 fairs {art basel, it ain't, pulse, nada, pool and aqua} and so, so many galleries/shows/openings. we saw gang gang dance play at a recreation of max fish and kid sister play poolside at a swanky hotel. i ate some pretty good food {where are all the fancy vegetarian restaurants?!} and stepped into the ocean. mostly i looked at art and thought about art and looked at art and wrote down notes about art and looked at art and talked about art and looked at a lot of art.
