a few pics of new work

back in action

I went to the studio for awhile yesterday and I think I am back in action. I mostly talked to my studiomates who gave me some great advice and I now feel motivated. Thanks girls! March will be a productive month. So look out, it's over Johnny! Giant paintings.

In other news, my friend Dan said he will body slam Henri Rousseau. I second that.

I am also entering the Made in New York show again this year. Cross your fingers for me. One.

on to March

I am so happy February is over. I don't know what is was about last month but I need to start over and get out of this funk. I feel like I was a crabby bastard the entire month, just ask Jen. I went to the studio today and did very little in the hours I was there, but at least it felt good to be there. The press is down! The press is down! sorry to see that Rachael. Shanna, all your things keep falling off the wall. That masking tape is horrible!

I think I am going to start making giant paintings again. I was caught up in trying to sell work so I began making smaller work. I really think I need 4 foot brushstrokes and drips that look like I took a water hose to the canvas. I will still make smaller work, but I really need to let loose.

Here are some images of what has been happening. paper candles, upside down bull and gino likes curious george.

And of course a pic of Gino.

another crappy day at the studio

I went to the studio for a good part of the day and would have been better off staying home. I am not sure what is going on but I just can't get anything done. I do a lot of staring and walking around and rearranging, that's about all. I am not inspired at all. Anything I put on canvas or paper has just been horrible lately. I have gotten bored with my work and don't know how to fix that. I feel there should be more to the work. I don't think I am connected to my art. I just make it and that is that. I am missing the bond I think, which makes me feel uninspired. I think what I love, art, is what also makes me the most miserable. I will leave you with a great piece of art by one of my favs, Jenny Saville.

11:15 pm

Just got home from work. Early night equals not much money. About to sit down and watch a movie with Jen. Good night!

3:20 pm

I am about to go to my second job as I mentioned before. Vest, check. Bow tie, check. Lets make some money tonight. Still can't find my chapstick. Isn't winter over yet? Be back in the a.m.

12:24 pm

Lunch break. The Atlantic cod was alright. I will be out of here at 2 o'clock and off to my bar tending duties at 4 o'clock. What a day!
