Month: November 2010

ahahahahahahha!

that photo really cleared my brain palate with humour

which is great because i was all tangled up in drama

i dont have time to address my personal problems so lets just look at the photos

lets grovel for our scraps

let’s catalogue the past and move on

we can puzzle it out later

brush it all under the knitwear

no exit is ever clean…

amen

Upton got a new lease on life so we had brunch

he likes to say it is month to month

when that wasn’t enough we had celebratory dinner

THERE WAS SO MUCH TO CELEBRATE i will tell you about it later

it’s all about freedom

freedom is free

Momofuku prix fixe is not 🙁

but how often do you get a random reprieve???

sigh!

fresh start

new perspective

things are weird in the house
upton wanted to prove to me that the rug i bought while he was away was too loud so he staged this little photo to make me feel embarrassed

it’s best to stay outside

arghhh i wish this truck had stood still for a sec
i love the half fixed truck look

i almost bought these but then realized i didnt have $400 for pony boots

avery and i had a very odd photo adventure instead

freedom isnt free
but digital photos are

bushes are

i know im being cagey

the truth is sometimes too brutal

i should put this photo up with the pigeons and their ravioli breakfast

then we visited Hanna Liden’s studio

hanna finishing some secret miami things

yum

here is another sneak miami preview
bunny-k by the sea!

now i am where?

oh shit i have to back up one sec

saw lots of fun things on the road to providence

this photo doesnt capture the real action which was pretty impressive

made it to Ara Peterson’s to pick up some works!

Ara likes to spray too
more spray soon dont worry

he has a new house with an awesome basement studio

and he still loves pinball!

this place was fantastic

full of male role models

we had to go in a big hurry
another crazy project to oversee back in nyc…

got in at like 4am
woke up at 7am to frantic calls from the wall
took a moment to sniff the ginkos

it really is GINKO TIME right now go sniff the poo berries

the wall!
OMG

what the fuck is going on

a little space man ran up while we were figuring out what the fuck was going on

spaceman made sprayyyyyy

i know youve seen a fill in

and i know youve seen a fire extinguisher tag

but have you ever seen a fire extinguisher fill in?

oh BOY

space man space man

likes to spray

pooting

if a tag is the simplest way to mark a wall….

then consider this the apotheosis

at least until they figure out how to fill a fire truck with paint and hose shit

hey thats an idea

fucckkkkkkkk

fuckkkk

up for one day only go check it out
before we extinguish it for the winter mural coming next week!

not the best day to find my old camera with old photos on it

but there you go

this must be haloween zone

awww!
this is when kembra took me to tea with this really tough dude who literally the next day was arrested for arms possession!

tea with toughs!

it was very dainty

i think this is when i tried to convince upton that he was a “vest man”

he didnt like it

got some columbian candy yesterday

got some mexican margaritas

checked out the destruction level at the chelsea

“moderate”

keep going guys! you can do it!!

i took this right before 25 people showed up the lights went dark and it became a party

im into leaving before shit gets weird
that is my modus operandi at the moment
leaving before anyone freaks out leaving before anyone has to be carried out, etc

taking photos through sunglasses

i was excited to go “i see a red rose and i want to paint it bla-ackkk”

but my dark sunglasses didn’t make it very black unfortunately…

i like how firm this sign is

i like how pooting this pipe is

i like eating fall soups
i don’t like the word “nourishing”

it is a good week to be mommed
i want to go to DC for thanksgiving and get mommed a bit

we sold a sculpture today
which fucking rules

i took some shots of the awesome KENNY SCHARF book we have here for sale

this is cosmic cavern from the 1985 Whitney Biennial!

we need some custom furniture for the booth

yay!!!

this thing is Dean and Deluca shit shack now what happened? why do cool things disappear dont people know that the next generation will need to see these thigns?

like the MUDD club

when i was bad my Dad used to tell me that “my name was mud” as a way of saying i was at fault or in trouble

he turned 81 yesterday!!! horay dad!!!
he and my mom are in love.

see?

me, i am ready to go to miami beach

this is me

come find me down there in the crowd

which is more annoying, hot cold sink, or super low sink?

we are making super cool art livingroom booth for miami

look this one already has a Tauba!

just kidding
this food cost $3.29

scott lowering himself on the motorized lift “look im lady gaga!”

look i am full of harumph

not harumphing about the art though

just blowing off some steam

well today i guess is the day! i am a free bitch

it started so nice with nice sushi and catching Nathan being a dork like me photoing his food

it got weird at Home Sweet Home

and by the time we got to the chelsea hotel

it was over

bye everyone i have loved before
hello people i will love in the future!

Came in last night about a half past ten
That baby of mine she wouldn’t let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)
Move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause a big dog’s movin in

Shes changed the lock on our front door
my door key don’t fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause a fat dog’s moving in

This dog house here is mighty small
But it’s better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog’s moving in

She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dog’s moving in

She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don’t take no one’s advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause a tall dog’s moving in

this blog may be opening up pandoras box of emotions but oh well

im a litte drunk,i just cut my hair, perfect

lend me your ears!

it all started one night

a-ron new music showw case at don hills

upton was being a totaldick but got some good photos of his friend mikey

he went around harrasing randoms

like a very rude boy

a lotta these on the camera

look he stumbled upon peter coffin!

bubbles

you may not know him as well as me but i can tell from his face he is being bad

no age

no age were great

good job aron the don

next day

this is new fun project

lookin through the agnes b and seeing what else might fit in

trannie wagon!

faces
she seems to really like faces

and teens

i like weird street shapes

and signs

i also love bad nature photos!! you know this about me

its seriously fall now

artificial warmth of city delays fall
how poignant

if it is not now, still it will come

no trains comin tho

just blissed out bikers

and the orthodoxy

almost lost my love to an evening train but got him into the Pink Pone instead

are there any problems short ribs caant solve?

there are

there are problems even a cute red scarf cant solve

money is the least of them

instability

it is important to keep on track and to keep it together

many of my friends know a great deal about it

there is so much to still be written!!!

and written upon

TEAM got that space i wanted

no its cool i dont want it anymore i have a better plan

im almost done with my article “why street art sucks” have i told you about it yet?
this may be the leadoff photo

this is me making some meatballs

my big brother drove up yesterday afternoon to help me with my difficult situation

meatballs smoothed much over

i have a really nice big brother

today things were looking up

and down

and all athicket

with teamwork we can do anythig!

dork in the snow
where do you go
to find microbrews to driiiink

we repaired this sprayer

not until after spraying some of the staff

ha ha!

look at these two tall dudes

in their new balances!
do you like how those photos line up
awesome

that’s what i could use
some new balance

you knew that if you hung out long enough that you would get to see more Rosson, right?

Her show at the Cincinnati Art Center opened last Friday to much hoo ha

ooOOOooo

hard to see the fart with all the people farting it up in there
i only have these two empty phots

fartin it up

fartin up the gift shop

line of bikes fartin on the street

sorry that is enough coprophilia

ha ha the lady on the right is the one we took to weird seafood restaurant in LIC wiht jules and buttery lobsters remember?

i will find photos of paintings later for now you get the prickly details

poster looks really awesome

leathery

who is this guy?
i hate having second hand phots because i cant make up jokes if i dont even know who i am making fun of

i can easily make fun of red bull and vodka lady’s tongue even thought i dont know her, however

does shep dog want us to eat him??

i wanted to eat salad last night at OMEN with suzanne

she was having busy auctions day and we had fun gossip sesh over small nibblets

today i realized that the Dearraindrop stero sculpture thing actually had an old 8-track and a rare cool Johnny Cash one at that

im about to mark that sculpture up a few gs!

lastly
i grabbed some screen shots of Marty Cooper’s 12oz blog because it features a super sneaky peaky peach of what we are doing down in Wynwood for basel

MURALING!

the drd

kenny and joe

ryan

the almost done AVAF

the in prog rock ben jones!!!

we just emailed out about miami! check your inbbboxes!

that is how my dad pronounces the word POETRY

hey it’s chris lindig!
things are dire and i could use the consolation of poetry in my life

anyone know any?

this is me visiting Ultra Violet’s studio

she of the Factory days

i was into it!

she is awesome looking

this is her back when

this is her making out with Ed Ruscha

im into it!

now we are having nice dinner at Lucien where of course she goes because all cool art people go there and eat steaks

tried to have a really fun relaxing sunday but managed not to do anything except get to Central Park as the sun was setting on the last straggling marathoners

there were lots of people wrapped in branded aluminum sheeties which was fun

cold branding

maybe instead of poetry i should get into watercolor painting…
hmmm….

or maybe cooking competitions!
this is apricot glazed pork loin with lemon kale and mashed pos

i think this is monday and it looks like i didnt do anythign but make a stuffed pump

look at that pump!

oh boy

this food was so yummy it gets three photos!
sausage swiss cheese twice toasted baguette walnuts nutmeg cream red onion salt pepper tastic!

oo a fourth photo too

alright alright i know food gets boring after a while
this is us playing pool

apparently a tour guide let a group of people to barry’s mural, handed out sharpies and told them it was part of the project to “contribute to the wall”

that is not part of the project

upton said the translation of this tag is “i had to pee”

i appreciate the nice comment on my last post to “keep my chin up” because the chin is down, lookin at the ground, resting on my chest, nodding napping negative

i know there is a lot “up there” but i’m not up there, i’m down here

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!

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

i want to do evil aerobics with kembra at night

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

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

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

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

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

my heart is now warm and fuzzy
with pubes
from Tim Noble and Sue Webster

threeasfour

t diggis

ryan

rosson

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?

i ask myself this as i nakedly drink beer after beer

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

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

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?

this garreth pewww is realyl nice

aurel one awesome
lets zoom our eyes in:

ha ha

whee!

i like this one a lot

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

its cool to see how ryan thinks/works

there! that is the show
go see it!

whee!

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

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

prettyboner

did he do a tarot?? i think he did and i missed it

ooh salem

nobody minds looking at more photos of jack i assume
there should be no objection

Dig Dug on a Showpaper

had dinner with the guy after the book fair i forgot that too
forgot it because i had no @#$%ing camera!!!!

awesome

rubbin the nubbin

is that a Shrigglefest?

now im cheating because i got this book before the fair i just wanted excuse to put photos of it!

kaws and taylor?
weird

this looks neat

Nutter buttered

hey!
i wish kenny had made a Cosmic Donut HOLE for the show!

Rammellzee cool photo! hadnt seen this one

hey!
dakis has this one

ooh
get this book! i dont know how just get it

what else did i get at the fair

more BAD DAY

BAD DAY seems kinda cool right?
i was in it a while ago and mad because they put my story next to brendan fowler and lucien and then lucien was on the cover and it was like….ugh. but it seems better than other magazines that are out there?

i like free

i gave Upton 20bucks and said dont spend this all in one place
so he bought this $20 book that doesnt look cool at all

this actually looks kinda cool but that is it

if i said something grumpy about something you did or do, just take it with a grain of BAD DAY FOR KATHY salt ok?
im NOT FEELING IT today, lets just leave it at that

more showpapers

suzanne owns this jules!

this is cool!

i am in it!
looking “cool”

a new issue of the journal?? funny i hadnt heard anything from them for a long time

hmmm

i like graffiti and i like this actor a little
looks like there is half a NEKST tag, a SEEDER portrait and a MISS 17 and what is this about

this looks kinda cool

well i can say this: the nate lowman supplement thingie is awesome

the Grand Tetons + Lake Tittycaca

its so cool to see the unfinished pieces we showed this summer finished!
they look fantastic

and lobsters

ah!
and Guillaume’s article on us for THE WILD came out!
