Broken America

I had a major breakthrough tonight. moving forward along the line of past work, but much much more solid in concept and approach and execution. i am very excited to put new pieces together for a show, i envision it being quite the spectacle.....

1. might post pictures sometime, but ill probably keep a wrap on specific written & visual info. this is a big one, not some taudry shit to fling around on the internet
   

although i am very distracted/elated by tonights progress, just wanted to inform everybody how fucked/amazing jenny saville's paintings are and that if you dont know them, youd better. she is the best painter of her generation... so Now...

....but i will soon be much more Now.......

Paul is one of those people i meet and he feels legendary. He's got a story. I want to use this forum to say that if the man trusts himself and that style he will achieve this status. Such unique energy this guy has; it's just... great. any young girl out there should have this man on their list if they want themselves to be really lensed;    in a fresh, but classic, Paul Maffi fashion.************* Do Your Thing Boss

Don’t miss this chance to enjoy a cocktail on the roof (for those over 21) and the company of other collegians in the presence of the fanciful works of two artistic geniuses.

White paint Meisel madonna From Here we are sublime

TRACK WALKIN like CHRISTOPER WALKINS

Doing image research on the avant garde photolog , i was amazed by these shots flicked by Steven Meisel for Madonna's coffee table volume, "Sex."

...a huge feat to capture such erotic mood, even with the lubriciously virginal material girl as subject
, No wonder Meisel has found his way to the top of fashion photography

SHE MIGHT PREACH PIMPIN ?!?!

Cuz it's friday, you ain't got no job..., and you ain't got shit to do! not a damn thing,, so you finna twist that wood ?

Speaking of sh*t to do, I am currently working on new ground , and cannot wait to unfurl my latest paintings to the public upon their completion. keep your eyes and ears open. Huuhh!!!

Central Park NYC

Central Park is definitely an oasis to the grime and pavement. But it's crazy how in in the park, no matter what, you can detect the human crafting that gave rise to the entire thing. the park was built in the mid 19th century entirely by master architects and landscapers. from the water falls to the 'woods', the landscaping is really the underlying magic that helps to form a place to satisfy the casual outdoors escape. a disneyland for nature, the park features mini creeks, ponds and ecosystems that have come to maintain themselves, with the help of the central park conservatory, independently. I went to the north woods today for a breather and found myself among numerous painted turtles in one one these forged ponds beneath a waterfall. it was defintitely a peaceful experience. meditated with a baby turtle who was on a suitably small rock by himself for a minute before grabbing a bigger guy who let me hold him before he got uncomfortable and jumped back in. i was left watching with envy as the humidity was pretty high...  literally looking eye to eye with animals i have always found to be a humbling experience because they all seem to possess a very peaceful quality that people will never master- living in the moment... a trait that living in New York can transform into a superpower if ya dig. anyways i kept going and found about a 60 degree shale with the park's oldest building, the blockhouse, on top. deciding it was a worthy enough reward for breaking a sweat, i found myself on all fours.. again, exactly what i'm trying to doin the middle of nyc. my new hobby. use the body in natural ways (i.e. climbing, hiking), without having to leave the city. lastly, is it not obvious and dope that birds and dinosaurs are related.. i always watch birds and pretend. and too bad the only animals in the city are dogs cats, squirrels and birds. too bad there's no deer... at least there's fireflys. alright.. ahaha
