Paint an inch thick

today is an art day. i got burned, kinda, snooping around myspace and realized that i might be the occasion for causing similar paint i mean pain to someone else. so, at least briefly, preferring discretion, here is some of today’s “art i had to deal with” instead of today’s “boys” “drugs” or “senseless gossip”

or better, “art i had the beautiful opportunity to deal with” today!

here is another work by Dan Colen’s assistant Ben. this was sold, unfortunately, or it would be on its way to athens

my very overqualified and insanely quick-witted intern was less enthusiastic, finding this style a bit too JRR Tolkein. I see the diss, and countenance it, but choose to overlook it!

this is the largest taylor painting on paper in the show. i love it, but maybe it is not right for the collection? i cant tell i mean i like everything he does. i need someone who only KINDA likes his work to help tell me what his BEST piece is…..

this is eddie martinez, who is a frequent LOYAL magazine dude, and who shows at Zieher Smith. i remember chatting with either Zieher or Smith about him while in Switzerland but now i cant remember anything about him. i remember the word “self-taught” being bantered about but who really knows? not me

i like this piece a lot! but it is PRICEY and i dont know if its worth all the money…..
