I am comfortably set up at the Philadelphia Art Hotel, run by two fantastic people, artists Zak Starer and Krista Peel. Here’s a great article in the Philadelphia Inquirer about the residency. I also have become fast friends with my co-residents Danielle Rante and her dog Kanga. After running around town for two days exploring [...]
On Sunday, we went to the Fish Festival. It was entirely interesting and bizarre. On display on ice were many of the types of fish typically caught in the Icelandic region. It was fascinating the range of types of sea-life caught as well as the depth to which the nets can access (as evidenced by [...]
Not only are the landscape, city and people (the Icelanders and my fellow residents) amazing here, but my living situation is pretty top notch. I have this wonderful little room. We’re eating a lot of dinners as a group. The ten of us residents share a kitchen and many nights someone or a pair of [...]
On Saturday, the five adventurers that climbed Mount Esna on Wednesday set out for another trip. We rented a little car (which we dubbed Sputnik 2) and set out for Hveragerði, which is a small town in the hills set atop thermal springs. Much of the town is run by the thermal water (which gets [...]
People keep asking me about my trip, so I thought I would post some photos. I mean, it’s hard to describe chicken pants…it’s something you just have to see for yourself.
I wanted to write a long-ish post (with photos) about all of the fun I’m having during my week-long stay in Budapest, but the wireless network in my and Nannette’s “office” (i.e. a large, decadent cafe) won’t deign to allow the uploading of a bunch of images. So for now, I will just be posting [...]
I have come across the work of Alexis Anne Mackenzie on several occasions, and like it very much. Her use of collage is extremely sensitive. Apparently I’m not the only one who feels that way, since she is represented by several galleries and has a lot of exhibitions and publications under her belt. All images [...]
I moved around a lot as a kid and lived as far south as Georgia, where I was born, and as far north as Buffalo, NY, where we moved when I was six or seven. After five moves, my family settled for the rest of my growing-up years in Rockford in northern Illinois. As a [...]
Here’s the new one for The Beautiful Ones. It will be in the Gallery Project show coming up, along with several other drawings (some of which haven’t been shown before) and the new big painting…which isn’t exactly finished yet. Guess what I’ll be doing tomorrow…
I have a show coming up at Gallery Project in Ann Arbor curated by three other artists, one of whom is my good friend and colleague at EMU, Jennifer Locke. The show is called The Spring 2010 Collection (aka Fashion Show), and thus all of the work is about issues surrounding fashion, from a more [...]
