but nyc is the place to be

mmm daytime drinking

keep calm and have an afternoon drink

keep calm and eat daily pickles!

publican is fantastic

levi is on a health kick

tho what he really needs is probably just a “swift kick in the garbonza” as my grandma would say

i like this thing
while peeing

ooh whats this

takeshi turned me onto this band Acid Mothers Temple

levi was feelin it

and what was weirder was that i was feelin it!

ive never really felt something major from psych-y noisey stuff
i see other people like it, i see that i like it kinda, i just always feel like im missing something

maybe just cuz ive never taken acid?

didnt need to at all, i was high as a kite on just sound and these five japanese superheroes

this guy’s instrument was “magic button”

it was the best live show ive seen in so long

it made me feel like everything was going to be ok

home to a major push for gallery 3 and dinner party

the caterers made selections from Monet’s cookbook
this was rabbit terrine i think?

our next show sitting at our current show

look at how wonderful these plates were

siobbahn came through on the plates too
while kembra was in berlin blowing some minds over there

this was stew so good

the tables were all spread out and i didnt even see all 60 people that were there
next time i will lay it out one big table again so i can at least see all my fun guests

i was into this guest

i think a-ron brought her?
i want this hair

the hair up there

sensitive moments in pond ceremony

i was holding hands with the playboy.com people who made the garden happen
i hope they could feel how grateful i was to have gotten to do this epic show

the erotic baker came through!
after calling me one million times
“oh hi there its 8am did i wake you up? i need to speak with you about your erotic cake”

chris hopkins

too short not to leak fun weird art piece

look how much this

look a like this

sprung

i think there’s a song about that

Get some mud for the duck

cookin’ cucumbers

ever heard boobs called “umlauts”???
i love that

i love our new show also

Daub of the brush

Mumbling in the moss

Fututio
Irrumatio
those are two new words i learned just in time for Stefan and May’s “erotic poetry night”

Siphon the python

the guy on left is founder of Bowery Poetry Club
he said the word “mufferoonie” during his poem

ok this is pretty fun

“Train terence on the terracotta”
i dare you to parse that one

“Where the queen goes on foot”
another good one

you guys like…. words right?

this is julian telling everyone to SHUSH

terence very quiet
Have a bit of summer cabbage, Terence

“Tall work”
i wonder what kind that is

“fuck island fuck island, i wanna go to fuck island”

“fuck island, fuck island; just not with you”

stuart lupton’s poem was great

“Quimsticking”

john’s was very sweet and ended with horse fucking

or wait maybe i got it wrong

“Entertain the general”

im sorry i have all these euphemisms built up because i really wanted to read my favourite sex poem “To His Coy Mistress” and didn’t get to

i sent nick that poem while he was… away and i think he memorized some
i have memorized all

Pickadaisy

“i’m Imelda Marcos and you’re broke ass shoeless”

“Used beer department”
i wonder why i emailed myself that…

oh who knows anyway

we have been enjoying the dogs

and the harajuku girls

the dye jobs

good one!!!

i have made new hair balls myself

there has to be a sex euphemism to go with this photo
no….?

ah forget it

who needs sex euphemisms when you have no sex life?

i went to this funny chinese opera with fab last night

at lincoln center

had drinks with my brother who was (embarrassingly) (cutely?) staying at the Rivington Hotel

sampled many fine lagers

this fucking thing
the waitress, everyone sitting near me at chinese opera, the cab driver

were all like “what stinks”

i know nothing about pot but how is it possible that it stinks through FIVE LAYERS OF PLASTIC

time wil tell

this was tonight

there were lots of normal people here for Assistant Director May Andersen Magazine Signing
i was disappointed by the lack of pervs

here is my poem
i’m sure i have posted before
sucks to your ass-mar:

To his Coy Mistress
by Andrew Marvell

Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love’s day;
Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side
Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood;
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow.
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.

But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long preserv’d virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust.
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.

Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may;
And now, like am’rous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour,
Than languish in his slow-chapp’d power.
Let us roll all our strength, and all
Our sweetness, up into one ball;
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life.
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

the most ugly way to say someone is beautiful

i dont have too much to add really

i went to max fish i guess

it’s really easy to find boyfriends at max fish i highly recommend it

it’s almost all dudes
who are cute
and drunk
it’s where i picked up my last one

and yet the feelings linger…

girls waiting to pee

how many drinks does it take to make this look appealing?

toilet phone getting a rice bath

good morning

how do we look so good after getting so fucked up

even Beef is looking hot

some fresh fleurs

i love this show

fab’s got a big fat bun up her hole

this must be some event

oh yeah!
Futura’s daughter did book release last night i think

i like that long haired japanese dude’s look

street eats

this is for tomorrow

you guys have to come
you dont want 500 butterflies to have died in vain, right?

tim sent this photo! he left for HIS residency in Giverny right after our opening
and in OTHER craze gardening news, the Botannical Gardens here are doing a RECREATING GIVERNY SHOW this may
i just cant believe it what are the odds

this Jan Hansen goes well with the above

here is a new Jan Hansen that wasn’t in the show that i love
shark skinny

this is our invite for our next show opening this Saturday
if you come to poetry night you can sneak peak the paintings they are awesome

here is kembra’s butt

here is a flourish

i got to go home to DC for easter!

good egg!

i had to use my parents shitty camera cuz mine died
bad egg!

ive been reading, i think after 7th book its fair to say, TOO MUCH WODEHOUSE

my brain is bertie wooster mush ball at this point

i am very sensitive to my literary environs
i really get ALL UP IN THAT

it takes over my brain, it takes over my lexicon!

thank god im drunk

or you would be getting some frippery and foppery

forsooth!

the best thing about Wodehouse

is bertie’s constant misquoting of shakespeare

but putting into contemporaneous brittitude

the slings and bloody arrows of outrageous what not

billy was learning passover with his girlfriend so we tortured him with pancake house

ha ha
we recited poetry at breakfast
i know Andrew Marvel’s “To His Coy Mistress”
and dad knows “Jabberwocky”
but i didnt know my mom had memorized this one!

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

this was loosely termed an omelet

so my mom as you know now collects stray cats
so i gave her my jeremy scott shoes so she could be the cat queen!
she loved them!!!!!

the hirschorn had a doug aitken everyone in DC is all a tizz about

i am all a tizz about this photo
my favourite

it made my heart go mush

you know my heart goes extremely mush when i go home to see the aged parents

i dont feel like a grown up yet

im quite sure i need more parenting

growing up in the art world isnt quite growing up exactly

its hard to explain

i get my heart broken so easily

i just feel so unloveable

this is what love in DC looks like

look at this fucking pocket pussy
i dare you to fuck this
ahahahaha this is the grosses thing i have ever seen in my life

this is what i think of cats

this is what i think of fleurs: take 1 million photos of them

blissed

OUT, GIVE ME MORE

i must be a very rare and exotic flower and i have yet to find the specialized insect that wants to pollinate me

we decorated eggs

grandma style
what a weird culty photo!

fuck this camera fucking sucks
i made this egg for nick

lets go on a blossom walkabout and get hammered and forget making eggs for nick

cherry blossoms are very important
i grew up with this tree
it didnt bloom for three years and we thought it was dead and the city wanted to remove it but we said NO!

there is life in the old girl yet!

this is michelle billy’s girlfriend

this is me trying to be cool

this is me feeling happy and carefree

who doesnt need some floral fluff in their face???

oh boy

this reminded me of NEST

and made me

happy times a million

oh im so emotional
i am filled with shame

i am up a tree

metaphorically

i like the morphology of cherry blossoms

i like the morphology of moms
i wish i could talk to her about my feelings

alexey got a great summer job planting tulips, did he tell you?

cute!

super cute
my mom has scoliosis like nick

with nick there certainly is the metaphor of “straightening him out”

with my mom i just worry she will shrink and shrink until she fits in my pocket

oh boy

i just want love!
like everyone else!

instead i finally got my license

you dont get any fun graffiti photos the camera is dog shit

see

cant even take a photo of the current Wodehouse

i am contracted in one brow of woe
whose guiltless drops are every one a woe
confused events new hatch’d to the woeful time
never so in woe, bedabbled with the dew
their woes are parcell’d; mine are general
i cannot bound a pitch above dull woe
but maybe if i do it right:
converting all your sounds of woe into hey nonny, nonny!

new york finally coughed up somethin i could use

park benches!

then it broke my window

fair trade?

it is a colossal list

next post will be like the thank you everyone who made this amazing crazy thing happen i am so grateful kinda post

my friends at theworldsbestever said “best smelling hole yet!”

we did generate a pretty big stinky pile tho

i can never sleep the night before an opening

especially when i know my favourite person jeffrey deitch made a special plan to come for it

kembra at the press preview
why are press previews the most embarrassing things ever
both ones i did for New York Minute were

all i want is jeffrey to tell me he is proud of me
is that too much to ask

i know he is

E.V. and Kembra power couple
i never realized what a GIRL POWER this show was until now

i never think about gender
which is i think what it means to be a feminist
so i’m never like “yeah girl power!”
i just do shows that are great and this one is by two REALLY badass women

dinner was really fun
can you believe julien has never been to lucien?

by the end of dinner i felt like this

travis from tulum took over that 141 chrystie dorky club and made it a really fun afterparty

jamie w looked so hot dancing im so annoyed my photos suck
why can’t cameras mimic eye balls yet its fucking 2012

i wish i could take photos by blinking

morning

yay!
i hope people bring their fat dogs to the show
i hope people bring picnics during their lunchbreaks!!

i hope my favourite graffiti writers bring picnics and fat dogs on their lunchbreaks

my big brother Billy came for the weekend
he likes trees
and sustainable energy

he did not like me sharing my banana muffin with this squirrel
