“ Hope you meet an [sic] Artsy dweeb that wants to live in a world that doesn’t exist. - former art student
A recent favorite quote of mine…
Here’s a new video from my 4-d landscape paintings. The color is horrible on this version, but it gives you and idea of what I’m working on. It doesn’t have any sound right now. If you have Last Splash by the Breeders, play the first 4 songs while watching. For some reason I really like the combo.
My dear friend Ann Elizabeth Grace has just written a book! (Of course when I say “just” I mean that it is *just* finished, but has taken tons of effort and time to write.) It is an amazing book about the trials and tribulations of growing up as a Gen Y-er, the generation after Gen X. It has great anecdotes from twenty-somethings as well as a lot of good advice about how to cope with the stress of uncertainty and the sometimes overwhelming options of being a young adult in the 2000s. Even if you are already out of your 20s, this book is great because finding focus in your life happens at different times for everyone. Besides, who couldn’t use a little more focus? Anyway, this book is great and is for sale on Amazon and Wheatmark. Buy it!

not as great as their last animated video (that was brilliant and beautiful and gay themed) but this one is official and certainly an improvement on THIS
Jack Hanley Show- Bjorn Copeland
I have found the press release for the Jack Hanley show, which was no where in sight at the opening. While the artist may still be a stoner, I’m not sure, I think I understand the work a bit more. Here is a section of the PR:
The sculptures and works on paper included in the exhibit are the products of accumulated, found detritus and debris, collected over the last few years along the artist’s route to his studio. By surrounding himself with large amounts of stimuli (trash), Copeland creates a studio environment for filtering and soaking up information. Decisions that were made by the original designer of the, now discarded, products or product packaging that he collects, become the starting point for Copeland’s assemblages and collages. These works, in turn, begin to inform and dictate the outcome of the next pieces he produces. With one idea based on the last, an alternate version of the environment that the work was drawn from is presented.

ACC conference blog post now online
I know I already bragged about my Craft Council blog , but it just got posted on their website and somehow it just looks prettier when they post it: http://www.craftcouncil.org/conference09/?page_id=1615
“ Beauty and darkness, realism and absurdity are reconciled in her compositions.
I want to pirate this sentence and use it for my artist statement
Courtesy of People of Public Transit a website that shows the many “can you believe you just saw that” moments that new yorkers know and love. I think that SF could follow suit with some equally as interesting photos (found the site thru Lost at E Minor)
