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.

more bad photos of drawings

More bad pictures of drawings...

It's hard for me to post if I don't do it all in a few hours.

Also, I have a mix for you kids. Once I figure out yousendit.. I'll send it.

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.

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?

100 post challenge

All right peoples, we've had a good summer off here at dibbly. It's been super slow on the posts, no pointing fingers cause we're all guilty. However now that things have picked up I am proposing a challenge, throwing down the gauntlet if you will.
100 posts by the end of the year.
I don't think it's impossible, we did it last year, we're just running a little behind....
But with some hopefully busy months ahead I think we can do it.
To commemorate this event I've decided another Kid Creole and the Coconuts post is in order, this a live one with a whole sassy gay innuendo breakdown in the middle and everything.
Enjoy and keep posting!

Post 100 - Open Studios

Hey, its the 100th post of the year on dibbly. Today is November 7th, the 311th day of the year, so that's an average of 1 post every 3.1 days - not too shabby.

Anyways, yesterday was open studios here at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which meant I had to clean up all the crap everywhere and look like I had my act together for a few hours. Here are a few shots of the set up - some of the work here isn't done yet, but when it is, I'll post up some proper stuff about it.






I'd have taken more, but my camera ran out of batteries. Such is life.
