Magic Bus

long time no blog...ive been in missouri the last few days...i popped my midwest cherry, finally!...i think this photo collage will fill you in on the last few weeks of my life...by the way, that pizza and bloody mary was being consumed at 8:30 am in St Paul, MN...hats off wolfgang puck!

The Looking Glass

what are you guys doing friday?...hmmm, ok...well before that why don't you come to Megan's show in chinatown?...it's totally a beautiful show, so no excuses. here's what the gallery said:

Inspired by Rod Serling's science fiction classics, "The Twilight Zone" and "Night Gallery," Megan Pflug's current exhibition explores imagery related to science fiction narratives that are often metaphors that reveal the workings of the inner mind: "a 'place' that is vast, dark, unknowable." Pflug installs larger than life works on paper, and geometric sculptures that combine image and form.

Circles and Rings, Dragons and Kings

today me and max are making love all afternoon and night...it starts with pizza party on eastvillageradio.com at 4 and continues into the night at this book party for jody fausett...then i might be playing a tune or 2 at enid's for the triumphant return of my favorite bartender/bass player/asian, toko yasuda!!!...if you are in the area come check out out my new haircut, oh, and say a prayer for Baby Dalton(Patrick Swayze for you people who don't watch movies)...alright, later.

You Tell 'Em Ma

About Last Night

so my friday worked out pretty good...this collage barely does it justice because it doesn't include the skee-ball and dancing at my new favorite bar Hugs...more on that to come.

Efil 4 Zaggin

Get Behind Me

still beaming from the bowl...if you didn't see synchronized jock jam dancing then you clearly were not at daddy's...too bad...i wanted to make the parade but work wouldn't permit me to enter the canyon of champions...don't worry im contesting it...this is a commissioned piece...google "Zorro Doughnuts" for more info.

SHOCK ME!

looks like we have some competition over on the island...looks like we will have turn up the heat a little bit...no fear dudes!

Neon Nights

made this for gia's birthday...it's now framed and in her home...makes me feel good...she had the funnest birthday party i've been to in a while...until the next one at least...can't wait for the 'bowl, max gave me the Fletch original soundtrack...you can thank me later...i'll try to not go gay ted on everybody, but this thing has some deep cuts you might not recognize..just saying.

Clash Of The Titans

it's that time of year again kids...i can smell it in the air...who will be the champion of bad sports records and jock jams?
you'll have to come see for yourself.

Love In A Void

this baby is going up to columbia u for a show next month...more on that later...listening to siouxsie and the banshees endlessly...watched a thin lizzy documentary and got really sad...think i wanna do a project on phil, any ideas?

Ok..Ok

i met a young man from the city of angels who told me he reads this blog, but i don't update it enough...it's true, i don't pay this blog the attention it deserves...im to consumed with unimportant things like getting married and having a career...kidding...i'm listening to tom sharpling and it's rubbing of on me...so the pet project lingers on...prepare for major coverage in 08...i won't say the celebrities that are lined up to have these portraits done, that would be crass...just stay tuned kids.

Tonight

come out and see this show...its super rad...oh, and happy new year.

Come Together

it's that time again...third year in a row of this nonsense...pali kashi is gonna try to not vomit and pass out on my shoe this time...come cheer her on!

Mother Nature On The Run

i went to see neil young last night for the first time...an artist i have loved for more than half of my life...i finally coughed up 140 something to take meg to see the old man...since i never go to big rock shows i forget what turds most baby boomer rock fans are...during neils acoustic opener you could hear somebodies mom talk about how "A Man Needs A Maid" is her favorite song on "After The Gold Run"...not to mention some Becky doing the Phish dance to "Heart Of Gold", bear in mind we were all seated in the balcony of a church...classy...i yelled out "Mom you're embarressing me" and promptly got hit in the arm by meg...then during the intermission we tried to stand at the edge of the balcony to see the mish mash of stuff on the stage...the second the lights dimmed some tub of goo yells "ok back to your seats"...not an usher or an authority figure, just some dickhead who apparently needed a perfect view of crazy horse tuning...but the second the band went into "The Loner" i realized what i was seeing and how much i fucking love neils electric shit with the Horse...in short, i had a blast, boomers and all....oh, and im doing pet portraits now, so hit me up...holla.

Paris '68

so valentina is basically fighting the swine at viacom as we speak...this bud's for you my dear.

Working At The Docks

hey guys...i don't make movies anymore...but when i did, i made this in 24 hours with my best buds...thanks final cut!

Apocalypse Dudes

more on this one later...kinda scary i think.

All Souls Day

happy holidays from Mr. Crowley!...this is for a super rad art show coming in january..i will let you guys know more details as i get em.

Shameless

i think we are being paid in space cake tonight...hope to see you guys out.

My Lucretia

NEW ENIDS SHIRTS!!!...proving once again that i will draw anything for money.

The Ones We'll Die To Please

this was supposed to be for Megans calender but i think i have to re-do it....so check out this early draft and get weirded out.

Can't Hardly Wait

got an iphone...i can't stop touching it...went to see american gangster last night...the girls loved it, they gasped when denzel got slapped by his mama...the guys all laughed at the serious parts...megans eye hurts today...hope she feels better...come say hi tomorrow at pizza party...my face will be illuminated by my crazy phone.

I'd Rather Not Get Involved

bloggety-blog-blog...gotta draw so much stuff in the coming weeks...i'll try to share as much as i can with the 4 of you who still look at this blog...as much as people try to ruin the smiths for everyone else by making it some private club for the jet set, i still love this shit...i'm not naming names...this blogs promotes the leaf, and the leaf promotes peace...later.

Honk If Yr Horny

britney's got no kids, oj is going to jail, isaiah is a pervert....what a state of turmoil...at least spector got off, but he totally did that shit...what's going on with you guys?...i'm bummed cuz sharpling had a fill in last night on the best show...that always ruins my wednesday...at least i'm going to an abondoned prison for my 30th birthday in a few weeks...can't beat that with a bat.

Hungry Eyes

Gossip Gurlz

i'm watching a movie about beatniks today...not a documentary but an exploitation film from the 50's...apparently people were afraid of these goofballs for smoking "tea" and dancing to "be-bop" or whatever crap those posers were into...you guys ever read those crappy beat books?, talk about the most overrated bunch of shit...i actually quoted Ginsberg in my senior yearbook, i still cringe when i see it...i guess we cant all be cool...at least i quoted born against too, but it barely cancels it out...later daddy-o.

Snow Blind

lookee lookee kids....these dudes are finally ready to hit the slopes...don't be a barney, order today!

Love In Vain

i went to lizzie bordens house over the weekend...well really her fathers house, thats the one he was murdered in...she inherited all his money and moved into a mansion across town...not a bad move i think...beforehand we ran into a guy who lived down the street who had found an axe hidden in some turn of the century cabinetry...he was convinced he had the murder weapon...maybe he did, who knows?...they never found a murder weapon by the way...anyway, we bought a stained glass axe that in now hanging in my kitchen window...so i'll never forget it.

Garden Weasel

still not blogging much...breaking in a new pair of birks!...happy birthday aurel!

The Weedian

i know this is like 2 weeks off but im a lazy man these days with the art blogging...the good news is that my yard is coming along great..thanks for asking...the willow that we bought to cover the chainlink fence looks amazing!...it is supposed to last up to 4 years!...we are now in talks to create a deck next!...and thanks to everyone who came to my saturday jamfest...i had a whole metal band in my yard and they were very polite and mindfull of my neighbors...don't judge those book covers people.

Stay Out Of My Yard

i'm a lazy blogger...it's true...i've kind of lost the will to do this much longer...but every once in a while i get a notion to write something...i read about a blogger who killed herself recently...she actually left a suicide note online...i then proceeded to read the blog in its entirety...here it is if you are curious...
http://theresalduncan.typepad.com/witostaircase/2007/week28/index.html

p.s. i just read that ingmer bergman died...he said he couldn't stand watching his own movies because they were so depressing...i think that's hilarious

Me And Bobby Mcgee

if you live anywhere near lawrence kansas, go check this out....rock n roll flyers from years back...no big whup.

Dead Pool

1-800-I Quit

i know i've prolly bothered everyone enough about this show, but ive seen alot of the work and its pretty damn awesome...also, i know it is weird to be in a show you curated...pardon me jeeves, i assure you it's just a dumb formality...that being said, i'm gonna need all the kids out in rare form at this one...and at the after party at sweet paradise...i promise only a mild sense of dissapointment that will only take a few beers to get rid of.

Who Let The Dogs Out?

4th was a bit of a wash out...fireworks were pretty spectacular...i've never seen a cooler cube and smiley face...pretty tired, don't feel like typing.

That Cats Something I Can't Explain

apartment hunting kids...you know i love it...i'm looking for a 1-2 bedroom in the williamburg/greenpoint vicinity for $2000 or less...preferably less obvs...big windows, patio/deck, outdoor areas, and pools would be sweet, but not a must...let me know if you got any leads at:
penry@radicalmedia.com...werdlife!

The End

montauk was a beauty...very laid back indeed...not as classy as the rest of the hamptons but neither am i...saw a dead deer on someones lawn, looked like some photo you'd see in the MoMa...on that note, the art game is giving me fits today...think its gonna be cool though.

An Open Letter To The Porno Stars That Won't Stop Trying To Be Myspace Buddies

seriously....Tricia...stop trying to be my friend...i know it could lead to something magical like an iPhone...but i just don't think we really have that much in common...plus, im spoken for...i have some single friends though...they are a little needy and prone to weeping uncontrollably, but i'm sure you could handle that...glad thats out of the way...i'm gonna post some drawings i did for vice that they printed so small in the magazine that no one could even tell that i did them...the things i do to reach the right demographic.

Next Time You Send Me A Funny Internet Video

don't bother....this is the funniest thing ever.
