Month: February 2013

celerity should be contempered with cunctation!

which i take to mean don’t get too excited and throw yourself into something or someone without some forethought and hesitation
or you might get burned!

i made the best homemade meatballs and mushroom union rigatoni but jeez i need to work on presentation

things Joe and I do for fun

i think because my mom had big hooded eyes and was so pretty when she was my age and i inherited the tiny black deep set eye-lidless eyes of my dad I am so drawn to what essentially amounts to protruding eyeballs covered in skin

humans are silly

walking around is my favourite hobby

and taking pictures of things

like this sign
which seems to say that taxi drives have an hour limit to drink a hot beverage at a table

ari showing my buddy something through the window

oof! 3 outta 5?

these dogs looked stuffed but then they moved a bit
they got the block covered between em

jesse took me stu and colin out to dinner

look how bulemic this little branzino looks!

look how bodacious these todd james works on paper girls are!

big nipples scare me!
is there any evolutionary basis for that?

have been doing so many studio visits but so disinclined to spoil the big surprise that will be Chicken or Beef here March 6 that you dont get to see much sorry

ooh! a found Kadar building!

ooh

this makes me want kadar to go a big installation here if you know what i mean,,,,

this makes me happy

close to happy
🙂

man i really want to launch a new 12oz that is way better. the market is ripe for it! anyone want to do it??? I will be your first investor

oh man farthest studio yet!

where am i going??

to see jocelyn hobbie!

i love these human skins sloughed off and draped on wall

i love these transparent T’s and frilly A’s!

this painting is amazing

this one too

so many great pieces!

man my buddy i guess goes to all these neighborhoods already!

came in the next morn to this Devin Strother piece. i am really feeling this piece!!!

one more to go

Ella Kruglyenskaya!

i hope i spelled that right!

had so much fun here!
curvy girls everywhere!

ooh egg tempera

some badass bummed butts over there

check out this funny piece
remember that Kanye West joke about fish dicks?

i dont wanna give away the work for our show so i must move on

garbage cat!

i have spotted you

lingering over the leftovers

then i got obsessed of tryign to take these multi-circle full moon photos

they didn’t quite turn out how i wanted

this piece is called “Sit Still Bitch I’m Trying to Render”

it’s hard for girls to sit still when they are so excited!!!

Ed Koch makes me think of Kunle

one thing that makes graffiti fun is to hear the story behind a spot
so we will get to the above shortly

im walking aroun chelsea because i am up very early and dont knwo what to do with myself

this would be … jeez i always blank on his name … Gary Panter

this is a Jacob Kassay next to a Weiner
if you like this, then stop reading my blog right now

Basquiat show
after seeing the Beyler show this Gagosian show is such a pile of rejects
that Beyler show will always be the pinnacle

strong opinions today!
armchair rainy day critic i guess

went to Ace to meet Eric and Kris
she was frowning so i put a smile on her

bought some perfume

ack!
is that what i look like?
why dont i just kill myself right now
i am not fit to be around people with that face

some booty for our next show here

so what so what do i have to share today

i feel like sharing the fact that i have been such a fucking shut in recently who only goes from home to work and work to home and i am desperate for someone to shake me outta this!

thats the main thing on my mind i guess. extreme loneliness and stress and feeling freakishly unfit for society

went to visit Jemima Kirke who is in the show GIRLS and makes paintings of girls and is a girl!~

i am a girl too so i fit right in

i love this detail

i dont wanna spoil it so i wont show you the main one

beefy

went with fab to il buco
it is just around the corner and jeez i have wanted to go there forever

AAAAAAA

Aaaaaa
i want to eat there every day
Chuck Close eats there every day, why can’t i?

i will stick to the shadows where i belong

escalating beefy!
went last night to visit studio in freezing cold

john copeland

drank my new limit of three beers

which means i got to drink NO beers when i got home which sucked

these are much better in person because in person you can see this!

it is important to never get to the point where you have a major problem with somethign because then you will have to quit it for good, and i have lost one fun thign that way, so now i am tryign to not have to quit drinking for good by drinking less

three drinks a day is still a lot and for women i think more than three drinks is considered binge drinking

shameful!

dash used to always go “shame shame!” and make this face at me when i did things that i shouldnt
got this photo on a google alert and realy like it

what else
i want to make paintings

i think that art is the only thing i could do alone that woudl make me not feel like a freak

no one goes to painters and is like “you are a social pariah” because they paint alone all day. they are supposed to do that

so i will do that
so that i can be happily alone

instead of shamefully alone

but wait!
i forgot to tel you the story of the bway and houston spot!

first you spray the building

then you take their big pail of buff paint and go hide it around the corner in the garbage
hahahahaha!

i almost died laughing

i guess going out while writing graffiti counts as socializing!

or lets call it “antisocializing”
🙂

tetchy!

jeez lois

this is me sitting in car while my buddy “leaves his mark” near BAM

i helped joe move again

he is lookin for a bed stuy brownstone!
get at him!

ooh whats this

damn!
was he doing a little Dash and lighting trees on fire? we will never know

i promise many nyc things tomorrow and all the fun studio visits i have gotten to go on leading up to Jesper’s show in march

we’ve been friends for a good long time, so you’ll let me say something, wont you? i think your getting just the least bit hard. now turn and rend me!

his was not one of those emotional natures to which the meanest flower that blows could give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears

a primose by the river’s brim a simple primrose was to him

a little runt of a a sawn-off, hobo, one-night stand like this

new york is not like other cities. london greets the stranger with a sleepy grunt, paris gigles, but new york howls

the man who’s square, his chances always are best: no circumstance can shoot a scare into the contents of his vest

john coughed to remove what seemed ot him a deposit of sawdust and unshelled nuts in his throat

sure i like him he’s a corker

i know he’s a sensible young skeesicks

this is me god ages ago at Daniel Arsham studio
and his disapproving bunny Oliver

awesome
