Final Countdown?

(Blind Spots, Photographic Etching on Zinc... made before my great escape last winter)

T-minus 19 days until my special man friend and I make our trek out to the great state of Idaho...
T-minus 2 months until I make my great escape to Bratislava...
This semester is killing me.

Shameless

(Still image from Veritable Swings, 2009)

I've added a few of my still video images to my University run website... It's kind of ghetto, but it gets the job done. You can see all of the goodies here!

Start Over

RIP little guy... We had some good times.

My twin-reflex Seagull has gone to the great camera gods in the sky; it is officially the end of an era... Whilst shooting this morning I realized that its shutter had completely lost its will to live... so sad. So the question remains, where do I begin again? I've got six 35mm cameras loaded with half used rolls of film, expired Polaroids, and plenty of video footage to keep me company. Not good enough. Aimless in the studio on a Sunday afternoon.

Signs Taken for Wonders

PixPix and I went for a walk up a hill at dusk...this is what ensued

Response to Hal Foster's article writen for Art in American circa 1986...

Greatest Show on Earth?

Giving a mini lecture on P.T. Barnum's contribution to the marvelous freak show craze of the 19th century today. The itinerary includes : Zip, Millie/Christine, the FeeJee mermaid, Dog-faced boy, and many other fantastical human anomalies. Happy Monday!

Bones, Bones, Bones

Top 5 Favorite Childhood Costumes:

1. Gypsy (this was in heavy rotation for multiple Halloweens)
2. Dinosaur (although I really hated that one at the time)
3. Cleopatra
4. Tank Girl
5. Giant Grape (this costume is in honor of my dad, he dressed up with me every Halloween and took me trick-or-treating. This particular gem consisted of brown pants and copious amounts of purple balloons safety pinned to a purple turtleneck. Best costume EVER!)

Due to my laziness this year, I'm dressing up as the zombie form of a Eddie Vedder. Why? I'm not quite sure yet, I think mostly so I stay warm.
