finally a kidspace mural

finally i got to do a kids mural. i now know things i never thought i would about diego and dora, sesame street, thomas etc. the exact color of complexion, ernie and berts oufits..did u knw cinderellas castle was gilded in gold???? yes im in the know now. forever this took. i am too much of a perfectionist but the experience was awesome and i was lucky to be doing this for a cool fam. cant wait for the next.

inspiration @ the nassau museum

on a complete fluke i went to the nassau museum with my bestie museum buddy. lucky we were and i finally saw a basquiat painting in person. that whole experience is freaky. u long to see something great up close, its whole existance preceeds it, it can be nerving honestly as it was with seeing my first van gogh (whom i had a strangely serious crush on through my adolescence..hm.) but in this case it was random. then u stand there, waiting..for something..some feeling..connection or spark of greatness. then i sneak a pic. and look closer. honestly it was over really quick. then we leave and im thinking how could i walk away so quick, the work deserved more of my time rite? i dont even remember the painting except for peering closer to see the little notes scraped in, the "white" and "black" man references, and a halo. weird. its like u see it in books, think all about the artists in school that u make them huge. then u see it and u just wait for magic. no magic. maybe basquiat and i arent soulmates the way me and van gogh were.
anyway, this woman rona pondick's work was freakin amazing. humans morphing into animal..my kind of thing. and botero's sculptures were new to me and completely worth seeing. of course i hadda take a pic of the lady riding her bike on the way out as usual. im aiming at having pics of her against every ny season.

cathartic painting

ive done this before and it worked then. physically painting over or with something that you want to forget, yes it works. it works really well. i also happen to know that burning works too ;)
so with my new discount prussian blue fave, this is the beginning of something better.
