falls
I found this window panel in Pilsen on 18th Street a few years ago while it was raining. Funny thing is, it kinda rained inside the warehouse two nights ago due to a fire on the fourth floor triggering the sprinkler system. This one survived very well. Not a thing I could see that I'd call damage, maybe slightly more character. A few of the pen and ink crow drawings got hit on my other panel, but the only damage is slight water discoloration on two of the matts. I got off easy. I heard some people's work was destroyed entirely.
This one, entitled Falls, is on the second floor just across and down from the flatfiles (panel 183A.) I have a couple dozen affordable works in the top drawer of the file beneath the big flatscreen display. Just open the top drawer (or ask the attendant is they're there) and pull out the red leather portfolio with my name on it.

I have panel 144 and 183A on the second floor of the show. Here's a chot of panel 144 with my Murder of Crows series.

Crows and a girl in a window - Red Hook Art Show this weekend
30k square foot warehouse filled with art from local artists. I have two panels upstairs by the bar. I'm sure all my friends willing to go to a 'come one, come all' style curation can follow those directions, and may need to. Show continues every weekend, 1-6p until August 17th. I'll be there both days this weekend for the opening. Give me a call and I'll meet up with you.

I have a series entitled, Murder of Crows, and an oil on window frame figurative piece on the second floor of the warehouse just beyond the bar. The crows are all ink on bristol or paper and range in price from 125 to about 400. I love the way the brick wall comes through the window painting. I'll post images of the works tomorrow when I go in to finalize the hanging.

Root Boy Slim & the Sex Change Band
My boss invests a good amount of import into one's birthday and with whom it is shared. She asked me mine on my first day on the job. July 9th. I've always liked my birthday.
Unfortunately, I share my birthday with a number of jackasses, spouse killers and mass murderers. Henry VII, OJ, Courtney Love and Donald Rumsfeld among those. I recently wiki-ed my ba ba ba birfday to try to transform this badge of dishonor with a better list of names. This is how I found the name Root Boy Slim, followed by his full band title: Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band.
I wiki-ed them. Link to full entry-wikipedia::
He went on to Yale, where he majored in African American studies, graduating in 1967. He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. His fraternity brothers included future President George W. Bush. MacKenzie was a year older than Bush.
While at Yale, MacKenzie formed a band with classmate and fraternity brother Greenlee, who was quarterback of Yale's football team. The band was named Prince La La and the Midnight Creepers. Band members wore ermine capes, silver lame hot pants and boasted that they were never invited for return engagements.
The year after MacKenzie and Greenlee graduated, they returned to the DKE house during Yale's homecoming. Bush, who since their departure had become president of DKE, threw them out and banned them from the house.
Naturally, I looked for the CD, and found an out of print copy on Amazon for 135 USD. Undeterred by this rapine pricing, I dug up a site with a remastered version of the music at www.rootboyslim.com for $15. It'll be here in a few days. In the mean time - here's a youtube clip the guy running the Root Boy operations sent me a link to when I ordered the CD. They've been likened to Dr. John, a Voodoo favorite of mine.

Two of my Favorite Painters
I'm going to sunny Jacksonville, FL in a couple of weeks to see Clara Batton Smith (right) marry her Australian love, Matthew. Zsofia Otvos (left) will be in Hungary working on the sequel to a popular film out there - haven't gotten the title yet, but I'll blog it when I get it.
Here they are: looking hilarious and guilty:

Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Red hook Opening TODAY TOO
My friends came yesterday, so today I shall sit with a book, haven't decided what yet, and man my wall. PLEASE come say hello. Here's the stuff again>>>
BWAC's spring exhibit:: SPRING AHEAD
499 Van Brundt - the end of the road across from Fairway
Opening reception today 1p-6p, sponsored by Timeout NYC
Show runs May 10-June 15
Saturdays & Sundays 1p-6p
The last two on the wall in the front at BWAC
The larger is from my show in '03 at Kimberly Aubuchon's original Pilsen location of Unit B Gallery entitled, La Belle Dame Sans Merci #2. I did the entire show based on the Keats poem. The smaller is a newer image called Woman with a sickle.
The next two on the wall at BWAC:::
The left one is Bedbug, the first painting I've finished since moving here in August. The second, blue one is called Happy Days. I stole the title of Beckett's play. We saw a production of Happy Days here at BAM and I changed the title. I fell in love with buried woman of the play and the actress's hilarious embodiment of immobility.
My stuff - opening at BWAC today 1-6p
n
Here are the first three:::
Woman in a Ball Skirt
In Fear of Moths
Crone and her Blackbird
More of the work at BWAC - red hook pier
The little bright orange one is the first painting I've shown that was made here in Brooklyn. It's called bedbug. (the one that's fourth from the left.)
BWAC Opening - here's my wall at the entrance
Yesterday was fun. Jamie Cutbirth, one of my favorite people I don't see often, made the pilgrimage from Long Island City with Darren. Meg and Brian drove in from New Brunswick, taking precious time from studying thermodynamics. We had DE - lish -us food at Tini Bar at 414 Van Brundt and were lazy about the show. It was great, but today I'll be sitting with a book next to my wall like a good artist. Well, mayhaps I'll bring a flask and be an average artist, but more present.
Live music today, too - Here's Chris on Opening day yesterday
The band, The Mad Jazz Hatters, played a smooth soft dixieland jazz on and off upstairs past the bar. I liked the music, and the happy happy dixie vibe was infectious.
Here's a bit of the first floor of the BWAC warehouse
I wondered if Brian had robot components in the manila envelope, but, no, it was just mail for Chris and I that was delivered to them. Harrumph.
First day opening weekend - doesn't my sister look hot?
Brian Viezbicke, the man on the left and my brother in law, has NOT MADE A ROBOT yet. I've been asking since 2004. He COULD make a robot, but just whines about how hard getting a PhD in material science takes up soooo much time.
Bwac-Brooklyn Waterfront Artists' Red Hook Pier Show OPENING DAY
Brooklyn Local artist, Tucker, did this artwork. I was there when he was installing the work Friday night, and I think I've met K.C. Welch's new best friend. K.C. does the maniacal crystal studded skulls you may have seen at the artwalks in Pilsen, Chicago. Tucker's work stopped everyone walking by. I love the ninja sword on the closer of the two motorized (yes - the fans on the work runs) sculptures.

three more drawerings for the show this weekend:::
I have a fourth, but the fixative I sprayed is drying very slowly. It's raining here in Brooklyn, and the air is wet. I tried to take a shot of the fourth, but the light glared a lot from the wet fixer. Maybe later. Back to drawing. images from today follow>>>>>>>>>>>

Bwac - Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition Show at Red Hook Pier
Okay - here are the first twenty-five drawings I'll have in the flatfile at the show:::
Again
BWAC's Spring Ahead Art Exhibit
499 Van Brundt St (Red Hook Pier across from Fairway)
May 10-June 15th
Opening party sponsored by TimeOut New York May 10-11th, 1-6pm
Gallery Hours Saturdays & Sundays, 1-6pm
As drawings are sold from the flat files, I'll be replenishing them with my fresh batch of work made since I moved to Brooklyn. As I submit new works to the show, I'll post them to the blog as well.
The show looks fantastic. I'm excited to have my first NYC show in a neighborhood that reminds me of home: Pilsen in Chicago. It's eerie how similar these little communities are, and it's making me homesick. I keep turning to say something to Zsofia Otvosand Clara Batton Smith while I work to prep the show, only to recall they're both across different oceans now.
The range of work is hilarious, from the highest quality to the opposite. There'll be music, performance and refreshments this weekend and I'll be around to see what this is all about. Chris & I will likely be ex-caping the pier on occasion to sip delicious wine & hang out with Monica & Leisah at Tini Bar. It's my recommendation for chilling out and filling your belly well on the Red Hook outing.

BWAC art show one week away - and I have a last minute painting addition to the show
I posted works on paper following this entry that I'm showing in the Flat File on the second floor of the BWAC show in Red Hook. Twenty-five in all. I have seven paintings in addition at the entrance wall on the left, and a last minute addition to a narrow wall right at the exit from the ground floor gallery to the second story.
Here's the last minute entry - a painting I did in the heat wave in July of 2003 for the solo show Kimberly Aubuchon gave me at the original Unit B Gallery in Pilsen, Chicago, which happened to open on my birthday. I based my work on the poem, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, where a fairy witch woman lures men into the woods where they become trapped in an vaguely eternal sort of nightmare.
So this is the one that's no where near my wall at the entrance. When you head outside the back doors, it'll be right there.
