new space

It has been about a month in a half since a regular post, if that is what you can call it.  I have been trying to make the most of my time between working, painting, hanging with Jen and random other shit.  The blog has been neglected.  The biggest news I would say is I have moved into a new studio space.  We went from the 4th floor to the first.  I was really hesitant and tried to find a way to keep the space on the 4th floor.  I love that studio.  It was like the pent house of studios in my eyes.  Gigantic windows, natural light, paint covered floors and swearwords on the wall.  My own little corner of the world.  There was no way to keep it though, so I moved with my studio mates.
The new space I believe is a little larger (by space I mean my section) than the old studio spot.  I do not have any windows which is a bummer,  but I am also not storing all my paintings in the work area.  It is also nice not to have to walk up four flights of stairs.  I also believe there will be more traffic coming through because we share the space with Booksmart Studios.  Pistachio Press has also expanded and now has a little boutique in the works with a store front.  (Pistachio Press are my studio mates of 5 years) More on that soon!  Jen Burger also shares the space right next to me.   I will miss the view from the 4th floor though.  A lot of imagery in my work was stolen from outside the window.  Not sure what else to write about it.  It will work.  With that said, here is my first view from the back door parking lot level.  I will probably draw it.

Sleeper Agent.  Get it Daddy.  Lets get this Monday started.  Boom.



New studio.  Painting.  sort of.  Remember the attic remodel?  Yeah.  Dogs.  more more more....   

on hiatus

I did not forget about the blog.  I have been busy and not busy and blah blah blah.  I am going to try and be back next week with some good shit.  Later!

the joy formidable

It's Monday, here is some music.  The Joy Formidable, Whirring.  The band is awesome, the video is awesome.  They will be in Rochester on the 30th at the Water Street Music Hall.  It may be sold out which is a huge bummer.  Have a sweet ass Monday!

Today is our fourth anniversary.  Cheers to us!  

birthday

Ginos birthday was on the 18th.  Mine is today.  We share August.   In celebration, I will post a drawing of Gino with a birthday hat.  Artist Aaron Humby created this image after I posted a picture of Gino on Facebook.  I thought I would share and shamelessly plug my birthday.

Pretty sweet, right?

monday morning

I am running on Dunkin this morning and now I feel gross.

Mondays music will be brought to you by Kanye West.  The song is Runaway.  The video is kind of odd, but I love the background color of the warehouse mixed with the cream tux and ballet dancers.  Real simple.  This is the edited version because the video quality is better then the unedited.  If you like this video there is a movie version about 34 minutes long on you tube.  He may be considered an asshole, but I like him.
