Month: January 2012

the cold forges of industry:

on the way down

and on the way back up

a lot of these photos are worthless
it’s ok
playing the averages

sittin pretty, hidden VIZIE

sorry i have to interrupt this silent post to say:
catching the VIZIE watermelon is like getting a secret 1UP in the game of high speed train graffiti photoing

missed a lot of other good ones

ah well NEKST time

so it seems there is this dude SCREW who has just… decimated the city of Philadelphia hahaha

motherfuck
i would have unlocked a secret level if i had captured the full UPSIDE DOWN VIZIE

shit is that a fucking old YEAR fill in?

SKERO me

ah i see the city!
homestretch

bitch i can’t see you

whats up everyone who is nice and still reads blog even though JAN has been LEAN TIMES

i have all these random photos that slipped through the cracks

as many things maybe did this month a bit

as this month was pretty cracked

marajuana IS a drug!

ha ha i dont even know if i spelled that right that is how much i know about mara…juana?

whatever
eat a dick
i am grumpy as fuck and dont wanna look at these photos right now

although may asleep w too much zoom is kinda cute

BLORP

i just sometimes get annoyed making blog because life is just actually really gnarly and fucked! and fucking fucked as fuck

and you dont even know
because if you think like nick’s balls and his butthole with a cigarette in it or something is like THE WORST I CAN DO then you are misled

was going through my iphoto today because i realized this is a work computer and DAMN there are things i cant even myself look at at all

and you dont even know because i pretend this is like my diary but a real diary you actually SPILL BEANS and this has no beans

or maybe a single bean

and im kidding myself if i think i am actually RISKING ANYTHING

how annoying is selective caps

or maybe ital is worse!

CAPS AND ITAL i am just fucking going for it right now

bun took me to opening of this show he was in at Lehman Maupin of skype portraits

fluffy

there was a whole Waris room

i met Bjork (again) and erm there were kinda lots of amazing celebrities there

maybe this is
maybe this is right up my personal alley!

forgot the stinky pinky
pinky still available!
show closing this saturday

this awesome thing just added to inventory

ooooh these

anyway anyway back to my random rant
i have no recollection of this photo

or this

and please god let that NOT say “KG + PG”

where the fuck am i?

and you dont even know what its really like
i mean, this is real too
matt leines with an amazing eddie martinez he bought

and me bringing my parents the chips and dip bowl i painted for them home this weekend

wasted whiskey and tv

night dog

i found this weird board game i made as a kid

i was a dick

yeah yeah i know

and now youre getting some “recommended reading”
because this is part of real life too

i just feel like a puss because i never actually say anything but SAFE things here

and life is not safe

DILLhole

Hot Sex Dumb Face

but then of course you do know what i mean, not like you are writing in the comments or whatever about your abortion or crack addiction or despicable gossip or piss covered assholes or something

dont worry ex boyfriends of the world im not like on the brink of putting all your dongs online or anything

and im not addicted to crack or having abortions and especially never sharing despicable gossip but

where is the part of life where you actually share the real gnarly stuff
is it art?

Takeshi Muratas are amazing

you saw that guy PC in LA and the one he had bought

here are some more

drawn in the computer
craze

i promise not to make my blog performance art

maybe that is a good way to frame this

but maybe it could be a little nastier without me being judged super harshly?

maybe blog is becoming too bookish

look at this new Matthew Stone limited edition printed on WOOD

oops i capped it again

this isnt like a tour its actually EVERY page of the book so there

and ive kinda run my course in “how low can you go to be real” discussion so you have to just like… look at some pictures or whatever

fisticuffery!

Corot? Camus? Courbet?
fuck

Courbet Origine de Monde

chatty kathy

“soundless as dots on a disc of snow”

when i was in school learning about pre-Columbian America and read Teotihuacan my brain decided to encode this for posterity in my brain as the above

Teotihuacan is of course in a whole different part of Mexico
Tulum, where i went is south of cancun in the Mayan zone of things
this was dinner first night and who do i see but our True Religion friends!

tequila is less of an alcohol and more of a drug, really

i could feel myself blacking out so i decided to start walking

going on vacation sola will mean plenty of foot photos

good morning feet!

i get to have hut on the beach. who knew?

i also wasnt totally sola because travis and guido were there

if you want photos of more than just my feet i think you will have to wait for their photos, wherever they might turn up

look its Brandi

beach boots

i got beach brain bad so dont expect any vibrant commentary

i hadnt gone on non-work trip in so long i forgot the effect on the brain

the effect is “ahhhhhh”

guido an oasis of cultural style in natural beauty

this place made the pasta starting from when you ordered it
the actual noodles from scratch
pretty amazing

looking at stars and feet
thinking about nothing

looking at Mayan ruins on December 31st, waiting for the calendar to stop

takin photos of them takin photos of me takin photos of them

i guess you kinda had to imagine it

hard to know exactly where i stood on the matter

ha ha guido and travis sleeping in lobby

yay!

NYE party

bit blurry on this one…

there were interesting swedes around
that is Magnus who does The Last Magazine

hmm my photos on this night are not terribly informative
hmmm

🙂

i resolve to eat more bowls of melted cheese

no thats not true i dont know what i resolve

to make out more?

everyone should make out on new years eve and just feel better about the world

woke up to this guy
acting like he owned the place
dont know if u can tell scale no pun intended but this sucker was like three feet long

more feet

should this become a foot fetishist’s blog instead?

grand tetons blocking my view

i like how the slices reiterate the chair shadow
ha ha
or something

i like food photos

i like how all four of my flights (connecting in atlanta) had me seated in an exit row
finally i am being acknowledged and respected for my enormous height

here are some gradients for eric
my camera was on the fritz as it had not loved being crammed with sand
so i took a bunch of variously zoomed photos trying to get it to go back to normal

scroll down if you wanna know what beach brain feels like

ZONED OUT happy new year!
