You Know I'm One At A Time




Working on a set of Amy Winehouse postcards. I've had these in the works since last year when she was on the cover of the Sun with photos of her smoking crack. Fun stuff that crack. While I'm not interested at all with Amy as a performer... I'm totally interested in her as a train wreck.

Yeah there are also a large amount of du=onuts in pre-production as well again.

Sometime Between An Easterly Trajectory



Working on a new set of prints - 3 sets of 5. The series is based on my feelings and impressions of the G20 summit. Currently putting them together... there are several more layers in each of these prints still.

I'll be offering works like these and similar items in the store by the end of the month. the goal is to offer a new limited set of original prints each month based on some relevant timely topic.

Least Establish A Massacre




Was out at Nate Moores' exhibition opening tonight at the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum here in town. Really great installation. The work looked clean and prodigious in the space. Great setting as it was really accommodating to get the time to inspect and dissect the art work in peace... this time without the hustle and bustle of the ATL airport taking ones attention away at every moment.

Then it was too many drinks at El Myr later that evening with the artist himself and other assorted friends.

Surprisingly-Useful Devourer



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

When Today and Hey Kids How We Doing



Have been totally stressed out lately, but this nice breeze just rolled through my house which felt nice and made me smile - and I wanted to remember this moment.

Don't Press Its Limit To Small Use


Kanka snapped this one during the party.


This is after I got home and had to peel my clothing and the latex appliance from my blood caked skin.


Makeup Applied... it's time to hit the road.


Took about 4 hours to throw this ruff little mechanism together. The piece is attached to the neck and a hose runs down the chest through the clothing and into a pocket that has a pump full of fake blood. I ditched the little piece seen here attached at the end of the line and ended up rigging the line to a Chloraseptic throat spray bottle, because I needed something that had a real pump and stop valve to allow me to keep a constant pressure of blood in the tube throughout.

I've Got 32 Years Under My Belt

ALL DAY PARTY!!! I ended up rocking it hard at El Myr yesterday with friends from 3pm all the way till 3am... a full 12 hours of good times and drama.

My Aunt Sue sent me one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. It's a collection of my Grandfather Art's playboy calendars 1962 - 1984... all in near mint condition. Totally gorgeous!!! His Playboy magazine collection to my sha'grin, got thrown away when I was just a kid after my grandfather passed away, so these calendars are a real treasure for me!!

Zipzz.. Zizz Zahh

Note to self, but more so... a note to my future children (the Internet never dies).
-
"Be careful what name you give yourself on your business card." While Thomas is my professional name (on card), my heart aches everytime a friend refers to me as Thomas instead of Tom. This may be due to a lack of "hanging out" with these people I deem friends.. my own too busy fault. However... there are a number of women who also call me Thomas as well. Now while I find this totally endearing and really really (third-time) really hot... They are refering to me on a mother-based level and thus, this can become disturbing or very good in their favor depending on the woman (see Oedipus Complex). It's Freud speak and it's fact to me and it either works or doesn't. (Don't mess with Freud!) Anyways... I've always judged friendship on the level of name recognition.
-
While it is handy to judge folks on what they call you in the immediate 'I can't see who just called my name factor', ... It's also a great and simple way to determine the 'know' factor when you walk though a crowd. Your professional name can kill you if you don't tell the folks who are close, what you want to be called... but hey it's the 90's so.... Ohh shoot wait... The 90's are gone... Must be getting old.
-
Anyways children... point is... 'Do what you want... call yourself what you will'... just don't shame the Schaefer name! Your mother, probably called me Thomas, before she called me Tom, before she called me 'You Fucking Asshole!!', before she called me the greatest thing she ever slept with.. before she called me, as I do her 'The Most Important Person I Shared My Life With". There is nothing wrong with being a Romantic and living life as such kids. It will help either keep you out of trouble or in serious trouble... depending on your mood (smile). Most importantly a romantic attitude will help you meet the right person one day. Dedication to oneself is paramont to finding a person of equal mind whom you're willing to give up everything you dedicated your life toward... that is love.
-
That is love.

I Ain't No Joaquin Phoenix

No it's really really him!!! I think he may be bordering on genius... I'm not sure.

I Don't Mind Sucking You Off





Yup... Yeah ... Uh-huh... make a face... I know I did!

Dear god Kate... what's going on baby... you're only 2 years older than me! Stop hanging out with that Leo character... he's sucking the life out of you obviously!!

The Head Of Small Talk

Tonight I have finally acquired a copy of the Ronnie Littell Special. It has taken 2 years worth of travel to the Buffalo area... but now we have it and the truth will soon be revealed.
