Photoshoot with Ava

2008-03-08T20:46:00.000-08:00

It was a pretty dark and rainy day but my sister Ava and I set up the lights in my room anyway because I am really behind on putting up my new work on my store. And I'd say we had ourselves a rather fun photoshoot. Ava turned out to be a pretty good model and a pretty good photographer too. Some of these are already up on etsy and I'll be posting the rest over the next few days. Most importantly however, I'm really enjoying living with my sister, after our photoshoot she taught me that there are an infinite amount of prime numbers and taught me a really cool formula to use to create really gigantic prime numbers!

10 days. And God Bless Camera Phones.

Grandma and Uncle Lenny

2008-02-08T15:56:00.001-08:00

I was really into the photograph that I used to draw the CD cover for my uncle, I couldn't get over how my Grandma and my uncle were sitting in exactly the same stance!

So my uncle Lenny is a musican and I've just created a CD cover for his single. I'm kind of really into it.

New Drawings

2007-01-20T08:08:00.000-08:00

This is a drawing of a Kodiak Bear. I'm very excited to receive the 5th season of Northern Exposure in the mail and am just trying to keep myself busy until then.

This is a self-portrait of me and Beggar Bear based on the drawing of a Boy and his Teddy Bear by Dande Evans who was my Dad's friend in the AirForce. Very important drawing to me growing up.

Laura Ingalls Wilder

2007-01-14T08:38:00.000-08:00

I've just begun finally executing a series that I've been thinking about for 6 months: Women Tshirts. So far I only have Laura Ingalls Wilder and Amelia Earhart, they were my childhood heroes. I think my next few will be some of my favorite Black Wome in history as February is Black History Month! Let me know if there are any women you'd like to see in a t-shirt and I'll make it and send you one!

Tiger Series

2007-01-14T07:47:00.000-08:00

These are some re-edited versions of photographs from a series I did in late 2005 early 2006.

These are stills from my most recent video TigerHulk.

Thimk: Stickers

2007-01-12T07:12:00.000-08:00

These are just a few of a series of stickers I have been making the past few months. I'm out of the ones that aren't up, so we'll just have to wait until I make some more of those ones.
"Thimk" is the name of my sticker and tshirt line, it has its root in what my parents used to tell me when I was a kid and got in trouble, they would say "Think! T-H-I-M-K! Think!"
So a shout-out to my Mom and Dad: thanks guys!

Blurry Family Photos

2007-01-12T06:13:00.000-08:00

These are a series of old photos of my family and I that I have re-printed very large and very blurry.

A Ride With Flowers

2007-01-12T05:57:00.000-08:00

This is a painting I made of a photograph I took while I was in the car with Chris on our way to Maine.

National Unitard makes its way to all media

2007-01-10T23:35:00.000-08:00

This is a painting I made for Annie for Christmas.

Blue Carbuncle

2007-01-10T23:31:00.000-08:00

This is a really awful picture of a really great drawing of a blue carbuncle inside of a goose, based on the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle." Hope I didn't ruin the mystery for any of you who haven't read but are dying to read "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle." I made this for Margaret and Noura because whenever Noura tries to teach me to speak with a British accent we use the above phrase.

Lion

2007-01-10T23:27:00.000-08:00

This is a painting of a lion that I made for Noura for Christmas.

Tigers In the Sky

2007-01-10T23:24:00.000-08:00

This is a sculpture of all of the apartments I lived in (until 2006) from memory, arranged chronologically from earliest at the bottom to most recent at the top. They are also oriented in their actual NSEW directions.

Flower Shower Power of Love

2007-01-10T06:24:00.000-08:00

This is a sculpture I made between 2003 and 2005. It is foam core replicas of all the houses I lived in growing up. I made the floor plans from memory.

It's OK: Penguins are Monogamous

2007-01-10T06:19:00.000-08:00

This is a clip from my 2006 video, "It's OK: Penguins are Monogamous" starring a penguin from the Monterrey Aquarium. I made the video after having a veritable "misssed connection" on the subway and started thinking that humans are really not cut out for the pressure we put on ourselves to find our mate for life.

Bird II

2007-01-10T06:14:00.000-08:00

This is a video still from my 2005 video "Bird II" starring Pal, my Grandmother's bird. I was interested in this bird as a "love bird" because we always thought it was a male love bird until my Mom went to visit my Grandma in Pittsburgh (after my cousin's bought the bird for Grandma) and Pal started laying eggs. We started saying that Pal was in love with my Mom because every time my Mom went to visit Pal would lay some eggs.

My Dad with Tiger

2007-01-10T06:10:00.000-08:00

This is a trip-tych I made about my Dad after my Mom and I were talking about him and she said "Can't change a tiger's stripes." Thus began this series and my obsession with tigers.
These drawings are based on a photograph of my Dad on sitting on the couch on my parents wedding day. I added in the tiger.

Babylon Christmas House

2007-01-08T07:00:00.000-08:00

This is a photograph I took in Babylon, Long Island about a week before Christmas 2006.

Mural in my room

2007-01-08T06:56:00.000-08:00

This is a mural that I made in my tiny room here in Harlem. I used spray paint, oil and acrylic.

"Have I seen this before?"

2007-01-08T06:49:00.000-08:00

This is the painting that the below painting "I have seen this before" is based on. I made this painting in 2002 and gave it to my friend Ruth for Christmas. My parents kept it in their kitchen for a few years until Ruth and I graduated college and she moved to St. Louis where she has enough room for this very large painting. It took my Dad a few months to notice it was gone, but when he did notice he said "Hey, where did that painting go? I liked it!" So I made him a very small, less detailed but similar painting.

I have seen this before
