t minus 42 hours

Last week, I cut two medium size pieces when I realized that I still had no images selected for the boards. Prior to that, I messed up one of the small pieces. Aside from that, of the remaining forty pieces, one piece will not be finished for the show. I am totally okay with that. As […]

marking the day

Six years ago, on this day, I was called cancer-free and released from treatment. Six years… Wow. I still get little brown scars rising to the surface of my lower legs from exploded capillaries that were damaged by the chemo agents; the nerve sensations in my upper left arm are still a bit whacked; and […]

the biker, the cadillac and the neckwear

I charged my battery over night, in order to get my car out to the bikers’ place. Unfortunately, I was hungry and stopped at a drive-thru for a breakfast sandwich. I stalled out in the parking lot just as I was about to get back on the highway. The mechanic/biker came and met me, with the […]

a running tally and the snag of the day

Today did not go at all as planned. Yesterday evening, the ever-so-smart dashboard computer of my Cadillac insisted on informing me in a very stern manner that “the battery is not charging”… To date, this has been the only dashboard message that cannot be clear off of the screen. Of course, I was not aiming […]

keeping up on the silence…

I am almost becoming disappointed in how easily I can run silence in my online presence after so many years, but it is what it needs to be, I guess… To summarize: The job is still rotting, although a few hugely potential leads may have just popped up on the horizon. Yay! for that. The art is still […]

pimpin’

Of course, this is based on the handbills to hand out locally, so I felt there was no need for a street address. At what point is one allowed to assume that Google Maps is endemic to our culture…? The Slap-n-Tickle Gallery is located in the East Crossroads Art District at 504 E 18th Street, […]

a numbered list

One: I have been busy as hell producing art for my upcoming show next month. Two: did I forget to mention that I have my first solo show next month…? Dang! Did I really…? Well I do. It opens on First Friday in August at the Slap-n-Tickle, of course… Three: I am also as poor as I […]
