Given The Light In Standard Mime

I was bored today, so I decided to run around town and do some shopping. I didn't really have anything in mind that I needed. I was just buying some cloths and other random things. I bought a lot of different patterned and colored tissue papers from a few different places to use in my paintings and such. Also was picking up little bits of candy here and there, and I also found some boxes of Boo Berry and Franken Berry cereal. So I made sure to snag those as well.

If I could only get my studio to output my paintings in this kinda fashion, I'd be set!

Don't Come A Rockin...Try'n Act So Cool


Thats right... new from Ferrara Pan — "CHEWY Lemon-Head & Friends". Pretty great stuff... they also have CHEWY Fireballs, but I didn't try any of those. Ohh yeah also scored some MAMBAs from the candy racks as well... haven't seen that stuff since I was like 12 back up in Buffalo.

Was hanging out at Bothwell's new crib last night ... house warming party and such. Place was packed and then packed some more. Must have been well over 60+ at this little party. Hung outside by the fire most of the night with old Spin Creative types and other loyal friends. Lindy discovered an interesting method of wearing pants when doing the whole fire thing... pretty brilliant stuff. Lots of crazy fools all over the place last night, some pretty cool neighboors hung out by the fire and guzzled beer with us. There was almost a fight at one point and tons of good looking ladies... Ouch.

When I was leaving a group of us got caught up in a conversation with some crazy neighborhood lady who was poppin Colt 45's and telling jokes to us in the driveway. She really seemed to have something against Billy D. Williams and when I confronted her on it she said..."Quiet down there Superman I'm trying to tell you'z a story now!" I think she meant it too... though I've never been referred to as Superman before. Maybe she had me mixed up with that Clark Kent guy.

Before I Knew I Was Awake

Hit up the local drug store this afternoon to pick a 2 few extra bags of Brachs candy corn. I ran out the night before while working on 3 halloween based pieces for the Doo Gallery show coming up in a little more than a week. The works are really just sister pieces to the 2 larger more complex candy corn works 'The Quipster' & 'The Savant' which go on display this coming saturday at Kettle Gallery in Dallas, Texas.

So I'm in the local CVS picking up my candy corn and I ended up buying an entire case of halloween orange pumpkin marshmallow peeps. I at first only grabbed 10 from the box on the shelf but upon checking out I convinced myself that I should just buy the entire case and get the box too. So as the lady rung up all my insane pills of bagged candy I grabbed the box and brought it to the counter. It's amazing how I have no issues blowing $50 on candy that I'll never eat, but won't spend a nickel on myself to eat. I'm poor as shit right now what can I say. it's a choice I've been living with for a while now. Of course the logic behind the $50 purchase of candy is the idea that once it's been retroconsumed into new works of art the return on investment should be 1,000 fold. Of course thats if people buy the shit... ha ha. It will.

The other interesting item I picked up at thnat CVS were these 2 bags of candy called 'Dr. Scab's Monster Lab' - foil covered chocolates in the shapes of eyeballs, ears, fingers, toes, and lips. Another impulse buy just like the $150 worth of foil cover bunnies I bought the day after easter. It's all about the foil, it's all so amazing looking. I imagine huge half foil covered panels and half chocolate melts. An homage to Dieter Roth of course. I'll get to them one day here soon. But those peeps were a good find. i thought they only made white ghosts during halloween - which I should probably purchase a cas of too.

And for the record, there are different types of candy corn. There is the traditional yellow/orange/white know as Candy Corn and then there is the brown/orange/white known as Indian Corn. I picked up 5 bags of the Indian Corn to make a few select smaller corn/cricket pieces for a few special people here on halloween.
