Bushwick open studios june1-3 2012
Its open studios again. the time when we celebrate our artist peers, some of whom set a standard high enough to intimidate, others who throw all sensibility to the wind and rain. We are called here to question our own place, to draw inspiration, to find common ground, to call into question the very motivations behind our own artwork and methods. But mostly we hope there is free food, or the promise of it.
The following is a short list of basic visual observations made not of the artwork, but the people who accompanied me throughout the day's hapless romp. (click on the images for larger view)
pittsburgPA may 2012
the mayans say the world is gonna end this year and so i figured it was my last chance to check out pittsburg, so i went with ian, madness ensued, as is usually expected in the company of serious musicians, and took a roll of digital pictures that i am hereby presenting to you in no useful or organized fashion. they are simply a memorandum on the zygote level culture growing in this steel city of dilapidated colors and slouchy young people who proudly live sandwich to sandwich, and saunter from dive bar to dive bar with chests held high and shoe-laces untied.
the hideout...
the arrival of Che
up past bedtime
rachelle mistakes synth for a harp.
some hardcore band down the street. i dont know if it was a practice or if it was a show.
a moment of reflection before a day of rehearsals.
damn fine breakfast
a warm wind whips the rainsoaked trees. out of view is the dunkin donuts directly behind me
it is important always to make sure that the shirt isnt inside out. if not, you may have to take the shirt off again, fix it and then put it back on. that wastes valuable time, of which we had very little.
readying of shoes
the hideout...
the arrival of Che
the patient waiting of Che
coaxing the jupiter8 to life
alright, time to pack it all up.
soon after we plugged it all back in.
early birds
up past bedtime
bouncers, or bounced?

matt koff, mike yoder, lyra smith, and garrett shore dicking around at lake pontchatrain.
new orleans, 4/18/12.
matt koff threatened mike and lyra with violence
if they didnt "act fuckin' happy now goddamnit!"
He snarled at me to snap the picture. as i lifted the camera,
the smiles came and i was relieved that matt got what he wanted
and that no one was gonna get hurt.
then matt made us take a picture where we
acted cool like rappers. werd.
we like making matt happy.
