If you go to only one art reception between 7-9 pm on December 1, 2009 at El Camino College Art Gallery, do me a favour and make it Melting Point. My installation, Ragnarok Supply, is up, installed and beautiful, probably the most coherent thing I’ve done in my scattershot career as an artist. [...] Perhaps surprisingly, there aren’t any performance art blogs out there that I know of. Sure lots of artblogs cover performance art, but none cover it exclusively.

Anyways, off to cast a sword today… Photos from the whole boondoggle are in the Flickr [...] Big update. No real time to post, but lots of stuff has gone on with the sword. We’ve completed the mold and are going to be pouring the pieces on Tuesday and Thursday. Contact me if you’d like to come help, as it takes a lot of hands to pour one of these babies, [...] My dear friend Edith Abeyta re-staged William Burroughs shooting of his wife Joan for the Tropico de Nopal 2009 Calavera Fashion Show, starring Tom Jennings and Joshua Stehlik in the parts of Bill and Joan, respectively.
