Self Portrait # 18

Inspiration this week brought to you by: these guys.

Lately I've been super into Jim Jarmusch, which is nothing new. His work has been some of my favorite for the last few years, but I really appreciate his style and his dedication to finding idiosyncrasies in people's mannerisms, and the comparison of routines and everyday things. It's been a big influence and if anyone's not seen his films (Night on Earth, Coffee & Cigarettes, Dead Man, Down By Law, Mystery Train) I recommend shooting on over to Netflix or perhaps your local library and viewing these immediately.

I've also been watching a lot of David Lynch lately; it's what we do on friday nights at my new house. Spellbound, my roommates and I staring at the screen.

"Are you a detective or a pervert?"

"Both, I think."

ALSO, some former classmates & I will be having a critique session at my house in a few weeks, showing any new work and chatting about post-college life. Snacks and drinks will (most likely) be provided. If anyone who reads this has work they'd like to show and is in the NYC area, feel free to come and show work! Comment for more deets, I suppose, if you don't have my email.

New Work

Bury Me With It, 2010

BEST INTERVIEW EVER

Billy, Stuyvesant Park

Three hospital trips in five days, good times. On the bright side, I found out I am not at risk for diabetes. High fives all around!

neat things.

I had a pet mouse in high school named Exene, who was released into the wilderness of my suburban backyard by my mom after a month. Bummer.

same as it ever was

I'm kind of tired today...going home to nap, take more photos, work on presents for people's birthdays.

The New Summer

"Her eyes were so wide, they must have been the size of the city."

Here's to hoping the heat breaks today and it starts raining. In other news, there's this great internet radio station called Jango. Check it out, it kicks Pandora's ass. My station's playing a mix of The Kills, Gang of Four, and The Heartless Bastards.

I'm T.A.-ing for a pre-college program at SVA for the next two weeks, everyone hold their breath with anticipation to see if any blood vessels will burst out of my eyeballs.

Wrong attitude....I know it'll be fun!
