con-grieved and had-it

Photobucket
the best part of halloween is when you let the darkness and sinisterness into your heart and feel evil just for a bit. this year i was too fucked up to do so, so i am starting now!

Photobucket
i see a red football and i want to paint it bla-ack

Photobucket
i want to do evil aerobics with kembra at night

Photobucket
barf
between kembra photo and this i lost my camera
that day hung out with jules de balincourt’s at this great sushi place called MOMO and then two bars and then his studio. he has amazing new paintings in the works, not pictured, two awesome cats and i dont even like cats, not pictured, and Upton and i had a lot of fun which, indeed, is not pictured

argh and then i went to the opening of the NYArt Book Fair at PS1 with no camera and met all the people and thumbed through all the books and LO AND BEHOLD not pictured

Photobucket
i want to murder
i want the darkness in my heart to harden it into cold revenge and hate

Photobucket
this is me inventorying HOLEY BOOKS tshirts with a cold hateful heart

Photobucket
our shop is going to be online so soon, you dont even know

Photobucket
last night i went to fun Stacy Engman tarot show and did have my camera, thus preventing murderous rage from exploding

Photobucket
my heart is now warm and fuzzy

this is kinda the best one
one of the most famous artists invited to do a card doing the most detailed super piece: makes me fume with rage for all the times i have asked artists to be in shows to have them decline or to have them put NO effort into it at all. and then this nice famous dude sitting with his colored pencils making such a nice belaboured piece for tarot card show. why isnt everyone like this? why do i have to put up with young artists who turn everything down?

Photobucket
i ask myself this as i nakedly drink beer after beer

Photobucket
just kidding
i have to also remember that as i type this i am in my gallery filled with awesome kenny scharf and dearraindrop super effort nice people art

Photobucket
i hope i still get to see kehinde around now that he shows at
wait i have to google it
Sean Kelly Gallery
now i have to google that
ok they represent marina abramovic and joseph kosuth and stuff
cool

Photobucket
ooh this is a good one too
another big artist making nice piece for little group show
maybe the key is to have a project that is weird unique fairly easy to do and on a topic the artist is personally connected to or inspired by?

Photobucket
this garreth pewww is realyl nice

Photobucket
aurel one awesome
lets zoom our eyes in:

Photobucket
ha ha

Photobucket
whee!

Photobucket
i like this one a lot

Photobucket
i dont know much about tarot so i dont know which artist is doing a good job representing the meaning of their card or not

Photobucket
its cool to see how ryan thinks/works

Photobucket
there! that is the show
go see it!

Photobucket
whee!

Photobucket
they had lady doing free readings
this was my reading
i got terence’s card!!!! that makes me special
the lady said i was in a relationship that was fantastic and deep in love and magic and i was like…. sheesh!

Photobucket
slow down tarot you’re going to fast!
it also said that i need to break with the past and differentiate myself in my business
the new york times kinda said that too. but poop if it isnt hard!

Photobucket
am i like the bust of this slave fellow clutching a huge chicken?

Photobucket
upton is not a chicken
i left him in the capable hands of these two dudes and went home to sleep

Photobucket
got woken up at 430 by a howling monkey bean and then woken up again at 8 by the monkey barfing his guts out in the bathroom
if i didnt have this new fantastic piece by Jules on my wall to stare at and to ponder what a meaningful connection realyl means, i think my murderous rage would come boiling again to the surface and third degree burn the shit out of anyone in the vicinity

Photobucket
since i couldn’t get back to sleep and had only a few hours before i had to be at work to support my bad decision making with a salary i decided to at least thumb through the NYARTBOOKFAIR booty i had brought home the night before

Photobucket
you wont get to see the nice people i met and talked to or smell the book sweaty of an overheated ps1 but you will get to see somethings

Photobucket

  1. nice stuff. wish we could see the nan goldin and raymond pettibon tarot cards, but i will just imagine them for now

  2. haha! Love the pic of everybody in the gallery, although i would have loved to hear upton’s answers in the Q and A section… oh and the Rocrow interview was pretty good too!

  3. awesome. i can’t decide if that or the mark flood vid was the best teaser vid i’ve seen today. can you sort me out, adminfoot?
