Monday party

May 16th, 2012

Most people hate Monday. Mine was rather pleasant thanks to my girl, Molly Crabapple and her volunteering our space for Katelan and Melissa’s B-day.

A good night juice

May 7th, 2012

My friend, Tex, came up with one of my favorite sayings. “Happy bye bye juice” immediately followed by a demonstration in pantomime of how rapidly this alcohol would work. It was a perfect storm of explanation and everyone in the room erupted in laughter. He was talking about my Knob Creek. I occasionally drink it at the end of the day. Usually one shot and it’s bed time. Now I’m trying the Noah’s Mill. At 114 proof it might be pretty affective.

I went down to Bethesda, MD to the naval hospital Friday. After the NY Times article comes out I’ll put the drawings up. Who knows.

Bathrooms

April 14th, 2012

Some bar I wound up at after watching my friend Stevie, perform in a band called the Dukes at Rockwood Music Hall on Friday the 13th. The bathrooms are never watched and apparently people just like to be productive when pissing out beer to make room for more beer. The collaborative nature of the Lower East Side bar bathrooms makes for much entertainment to the spectator who is just there to piss.

Wandering after driving

April 6th, 2012

After the car club I walked home through TriBeca and stopped in a bar. The cars on display where worth millions. Original Shelby Cobras from ’65, ’69, and Mustangs 2012, ’13.

After a day in New York's mechanical underbelly, I come home inspired to paint strange configurations of the body and the machine.
