newest addition to the studio

Courtesy of friend Kevin of Hot Coffee! some sweet studio furniture, formerly of the Renaissance Society. I'm in a painting seminar with Hamza Walker, who is the director of said society, it'll be interesting to see if he recognizes the seats when he comes for a studio visit. Oh yeah and there's some work in the background I haven't posted on here yet, but I'll get to it.

BLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW

A little Pittsburgh pride around this season!

Los Angeles

I have not had the chance to photograph all of my latest Los Angeles drawings but I thought I should post a bad picture of one with lots of circles in the spirit of Matt's little circles.

this is wonderful

Hey, what are those things that guy is walking through - oh, just 100 million hand made/painted/fired ceramic sunflower seeds!



Crazy!

The newest Tate Modern Turbine hall installation is by the artist Ai Weiwei, and it is pretty incredible. Weiwei employed 1,600 workers from the traditional porcelain producing city of Jingdezhen who historically made porcelain wares for the Imperial court of China. More from the Guardian here, here and here.

movie poster

Sorry I don't post that much. Suppose I take my time away from the internet lately. Here is a movie poster of one of two short films I am workin on now. It is a ghost story I shot in Nicasio, California. Its good scary farm country. I stared down a lot of cows and filmed a lot of hawks.

longest day

I made this last weekend very late at night, and only just remembered it was around, and that it was a cover of a song I put on that mix. Perhaps a future Alpaca Beretta jam?

turner nominees

So they've announced the Turner Prize nominees here - and congratulations to them all. I don't really know the work of Angela de la Cruz or the Otolith Group all that well, but do like Susan Philipsz work. I have a funny story about Dexter Dalwood, the final nominee - who makes great paintings. Last summer when Dan and I went to the Mark Grotjahn opening while we happened to be in England for our cousin Tim's wedding, we did the whole dinner/party after thing - and Dexter was sitting at our table. He was really nice, and very funny - seeing as he posed for this picture with the Whitefish, which was the main course.



First thing I think of when I see his name.
