Obama… Come Out and Play

Thanks Phill for pointing out this excellent mash-up. Obama’s going to turn salt to pepper and pepper to salt, you know.

Your Moment of Apocalypse: I’ve Seen the Future and It Doesn’t Need Us

Well, if humanity’s supply of rare metals and petroleum holds out long enough to forestall a brutal, post-technological dark ages (get ready to defend your canned food with a bat with a nail through it!), these are the baby steps of the species that will likely come to replace us. And they’ve got [...]

Shipbreaking

I recently stumbled across the BLDG BlOG’s excellent post, Where Cathedrals Go To Die, about breaking container ships. As someone who’s daily life includes the constant, neighborly presence of these post-modern wonders of the world, I’m fascinated by the smallest details regarding their life and use. The post features numerous photos from Edward [...]

Maize: In the Studio with Eric Johnson, 8-20-08 & 8-21-08

Final stretch. Everything at this point is hard, repetitive and not immediately rewarding. Not like pouring the kernels. But it’s got to be done so that we can get the whole circus into the gallery next week and then assemble everything. The show opens September 6, which is really, really soon.

There are many things film and art going on this weekend. Especially if you’re eagerly awaiting visions of the end of the world.

Wizards, Damnation Alley, A Boy and His Dog @ The Aero Theatre. Day one of the Post-Apocalyptic Film Festival. Wizards is Bakshi’s masterpiece (in my opinion), Damnation Alley [...]

Equally God and Equally Satan – Install Day 2

It’s done. Yesterday was knot tying day!

I had a hard time keeping it this simple, but the alternating, argyle pattern of criss-crossed strings does so many awesome things with shadows that I would have messed it up if I added any more string. Also, the black strings disappear over the black painted areas [...]

Equally God and Equally Satan – Install Day 1

Today Michele and I installed the first part of my installation for the upcoming show, In Black and White, at the El Camino College Art Gallery. This show entirely consists of works by ten artists who work in monochromatic black and white. I’m especially excited to be a part of this exhibition, because [...]

Maize: In the Studio with Eric Johnson, 8-16-08

Right now my life consists of brief periods of sleeping and eating between long periods of art making. I’ve spent much of the past three days or so either machining holes, deburring said holes or fitting struts to the structure of the Maize cob. For most of yesterday, Lewis Dulin (seen above, in his [...]
