De Young Museum

The good word about the Quilts of Gee’s Bend show was the bait that made me desire to make a trip to the De Young Museum in San Francisco. I had never been to the old De Young, so I have no way of comparing the space, or the programs to the new one. [...]

Asian Art Museum of San Francisco Part 2 / Everything not Japan

I only really managed to zip through the rest of the Asian Art Musuem of San Francisco’s collections, I was running out of memory in the camera, so I could only shoot some of what I saw. The one thing not in this post or in the Flickr set that I really dug was [...]

Back from SF / Art Thing #1 / Asian Art Museum of San Francisco Japanese Collection

Working backwards (ignoring my aborted attempt to squeeze into the closed “The venue closed at 8 PM” Banksy show that was the last art related thing that I managed to do on a chock-full-of-art weekend. I was acutely and distinctly puzzled by the nature of the security guards at the warehouse – were they [...]

Why Bother Numbering / Apocalypse Weekend Wrap-Up

It’s done – well, sort of. I got my project finished and now I get to sit down, cry and rub Ben Gay into my sore, sore shoulders. I think I almost got sick from the stress & work on Monday. I still feel like I’m operating at 90% after the last [...]

Day of the Pentagon / Apocalpyse almost now

Friday – lunchtime. After 3 hours of intense and intimidating Tendo Ryu training, I’m about to go back into the studio, but first some unwarranted sharing!

Here’s the #10 can throne, all tied up. I need to finish the back tonight, and the support that will keep it from falling over, with me on [...]

Shi / Yon / Keeping on Keeping on

There’s so many small tasks to do in preperation for Saturday’s opening that it almost seems impossible, but then you finish one and the world gets a little brighter. My painting is damn near done – at least one actual painter seems to think it’s good, and it carries the narrative that I want [...]

Day Tres / Contemplating Apocalypse Continued

We got a lot done last night, I decided that my whole area needs to be much more tent-like. So in addition to the entry flaps, I sewed up a “tent side”, furher isolating and seperating my installation from the gallery space. It’s feeling pretty cozy now, and I like the effect.

I got [...]

Day two of website rescue attempt/more Apocalypse than you probably care about

A post a day keeps abandonment away! I spent much of yesteday and this morning knocking out elements from the Contemplating Apocalypse installation. Edith’s plastic bag roof is shaping up, Michele is sewing up bean/rice bags, I built a proper bar, even my block prints are working out (I hope…). All of [...]

Abandonded Website Rescue Attempt #1/Shameless Project Self Promotion

I totally abandoned this website – I couldn’t help it – I’ve been so goddamn busy and processing audio tape takes too much damn time… Anyways, I’m going to make some honest attempt to right this ship, as I need a place to host images and jibber jabber about all my ongoing projects, as [...]
