Souvenir

Just a little documentation of the show at Monkeytown and some drawings I started at Galapagos last week and finished yesterday in the studio. We showed Orson Whales on an i-phone propped on the bar and then played with two channel projection in the back room. It’s nice to have little souvenirs of late nights.

A mash up of new timelapse and old gif. Trying to relax before the show.

Not Face, Nor Film

Been so busy drawing faces and more recently sorting through tons of old video and the attendant technical difficulties associated with all the myriad formats I tend to mash together that I haven’t been posting much or even drawing much that I care about as drawing in itself. This scrap of red and black abstraction was started a few weeks ago as part of a glitch ink video. I did it half blind, looking through the broken video camera. It’s been laying out on the palette for three weeks or so…. getting the occasional stab of brush…. waiting. Right now it feels like one of the best drawings I ever made. Maybe just because it’s not a face or a video, or anything like it. It’s just itself. A record of the time. A friend.

Spent a lot of yesterday watching Renaldo and Clara on You Tube. In the way it uses music and reality and fiction and improv and documentary it feels like online video long before there was such a thing. I’m so glad to have found it after all these years of wondering. I even like how it’s divided up into 53 sections by someone called Kafka 05. Poetry is a virus.
