List Updates

How to make a drawing from a spider web in 3 SIMPLE STEPS.

Building Carved

And presto! The donut paintings are done, and the group show is hung.

Nikki curated the show and did an amazing job pulling together a killer lineup of established Atlanta artists—some FAF folks, some street art folks, and local fine art folks. I hung the show... after taking mine down the day before. No-sleep turnarounds.

Tomorrow’s opening is a soft one — but we’re planning a hardcore closing on the 31st. Should be amazing.

Popular Outing

Evening at The Fox with Nikki to see NIN. The fact that the tickets were free... thanks to the eleven Hendrick’s Gin & Tonics I drank at the CT anniversary party to win them.

(Yes, eleven.)

But aside from that, the show was incredible. Trent even brought out a tenor sax at one point. Felt like I was in high school again.

Penned Woods

Performed the ritual burying of the 72 frames (+4 AP) this evening. First, the set of 36 (+2) black frames went down, followed by the 36 (+2) orange frames placed on top.

Once they were covered, I performed a ritual consisting of 72 banishings and 72 invocations. I won’t get into the details of the ritual—nor who or what I was banishing and invoking—but it went on for several hours.

After completing the ritual, I left the frames buried overnight before unearthing them for the next phase of the process.

Taped Everything

Did some reconfiguration and knolling of the studio shelves this evening. Just playing around with configurations and cleaning things up.

Something Responsive

Went with Nikki to The Earl tonight to see one of my favorites—OUGHT—and they did not disappoint. Scored a killer shirt and finally got some vinyl signed.

Tribal Downtown

Stopped by DragonCon today... lost my 1-Day pass, but took on the persona of Warhol thanks to a borrowed wig from Nick. Got a few staircase shots in character.

Defunct Emergency

Picking up some more to do landscaping at the studio today.

Model Higher

The ofrendas have had some really nice offerings to each of the Saints. What's better... the exhibition has been extended through the end of September. Gotta love that!

Smalls Beyond

Everything dies one day.

Built Craft

This idiot.

Fake Paper

Cinder Break

Ceremony Belief

Working out the idea of a daily torturing and then finally setting half of the donuts (36) on fire in the studio with a live feed during the duration of the group exhibition.

Vein Failure

Hanging out for the one night only of "Who's Behind the Bar" at MINT with Michi Meko.

March Greed

Donuts post polycrylic bath — initial coat.

Unit Owned

They're back! These beauties have been sitting in my studio for around 10 years now. Time to put them to work finally.

Extreme Detection

Master format on display for the exhibition will be a 6x6 square. However, the full work in total will be 6x12 for a total of 72 works.

Terrible Crisis

Those goddamned little frames again!? Yup. I'm outputting a huge set of donut paintings for an upcoming group show.
