December 2010 – Art From Behind

lame men’s terms

let me put this to you in terms lame men can understand:

i finally got the ring off last night!

i have been trying to get it off for like 9 months and magically last night it came off

you can decide whether this is metaphor or plainness
i’m still trying to figure it out myself actually

ADAM TULLIE
i wanted to get the remainder poster images OUT into the world for 2010 before i go home and lay in bed alone all night

ANDREW JEFFREY WRIGHT
im going alphabetically through the 96 or so posters i havent put on here yet

ARNAUD DELECOLLE

AVAF

this room was Teddy’s “vision”
i love it!

you can by this ed 50 amazing artwork by robert lazzarini for $75
i cant believe it!!!! i bought one

then we went out with UPTONS DAD can you believe it? who was in town for a few days

cupcakes at his grandparents house

his little brother is realyl good at pool

tender family feelings
they can get inflamed! over holidays

we are in DC now

ha ha my brother

brother’s dog “Butter Dude”

my brother’s house in West Virginia

dome christmas!

with parents so cute!!!

upton trying to burn the place down

dad guarding the gingerbread house we made wearing a snuggie

haha

neighbors

the dome!

i decorated

weird looking dinner

christmas mornign!

i get to have dog as my present

making gingerbread cookies

sampling gingerbread cookies

ha ha

the freakish ones taste better!

zombie massacre gingerbread

for me! not you

tow truck gettin a tow
my girlfriend’s got a girlfriend, n-word!

upton is going to make fun of me when i get home for typing out “n-word”
this is him checking up on “LOCKUPS: WEST VIRGINIA”
if only you could imagine what that looked like

upton doing scrambs

he is brave scrambles

ee!

what a little spider monkey he can scramb up anything!

he took this nice photo!

smiley faces: for graffiti face and hoo ha

frozen river
i thawed a wee bit of it!

upton threw rocks at the rest

thanksgiv i mean christmas dinner!

with brother’s homemade beer!
beer dork!

this is what upton got for christmas

i won at scrabble

ughhh mornign after christmas sad

no presents; only old gingerbread

to kick!

touching up my brother’s mural was part of my gift to him this year

fun things on drive home

i love this

then we went to the Shakespeare Theater and saw CANDIDE which was fantastic!
ive read the thing maybe 10 times
they cut out the part about the old lady having someone eat her butt
one cheek of it. remember that part???

cute!

tested out dad’s new waffle maker

upton’s turned out really good

mine less so!

leaving warm tones of breakfast for cold tones of waterfall!

Great Falls

i like going here

it calms me down to see such natural chaos

i’m “ok”

i’m not sure i would alert anyone if i wasn’t

although at least now i know the sign!

sigh!

the last day somewhere you always start stressing about where you are going next

in my case home to figure out the next phase of The Hole!

we are preparing for an exciting transition in march!

and when i say exciting, that means ball-clenchingly terrifying to me, and exciting to the public

i dont mind a little ball clenching
for the sake of the public

i will find a new door to go through

doors open up all the time when you have a good attitude and a smile in your heart

ha ha this is first photo in NYC
im so sad i missed the snow falling
just churns my butter!!!!!

is that the expression

haha

we are frolicsome

so frolicsome that we had snowball fight and upton pushed me into a pile of snow and when i came home i realized my blackberry was gone

i think i could stand to frolic a bit less and KEEP SHIT TOGETHER a bit more

to avoid nightime weepy

just because blog fun does not mean no nightime weepy

bright n shiny morny

kenny mural nice and fixed overnight magic!!!

its funny i was reading the 96 comments on the animalnewyork post and someone wrote how “whoever this guy kenny is must not understand the history of new york and graffiti and the history of this wall”

which is just so laughable as kenny is linked to the history of graffiti and especially intrinsically to the history of this particular wall. its so funny how clueless people can be so presumptuous. graffiti does mean no rules and pissing people off, but this was pee the wrong spot. makes them look bad. and lame. pee on frozen river instead!

ah well!
we have a poster of the unadulterated wall here in our show! come buy one!
we put a whole bunch more online today

SHOP

four poster

did i ever tell you about my pet fish named Poster?
