I'm pretty into this song. i also just watched the sex pistols documentary on netflix. that's sad about sid. just watched the one about B.I.G. I wonder what it must feel like for the person who killed him, to be living today knowing that deep dark secret. I wonder if they regret it? It is a shame he died so young, I wonder what he would have done with music today.

battle. right brain vs left brain.

This is a study, ok that is a lie. this is a failed attempt, in that i goofed with the spray paint. but I thought this is a good experience for myself to reflect on this. see what changes, if things are happening like i intend.

This is closer, zoomed in view. I'm excited to go back to graphite. This drawing is the result of my making many many many cubes and thinking about perspective. This drawing is gna fuck with ur eyes. I think of the left side where the grey is, as a roof of a building, and then the two tones of yellow as another building behind it. I'm going to fill the whole page graphite though, so it will warp your sense of space. I am so interested in omitting information, making the viewer think. this easily could be a wonky triangle, but it is actually really spacial.

this is how it looks from farther back. It will look so different when the page is fully filled. i sort of like like how this looks, unfinished, but that isn't my goal. I want crisp clean work. I'm also considering making one of these with different types of graphite, and no color, but that will come after I do color ones. I'm gna buy better colors of paint tmrw, and pencils and a roll of mylar. I alsoooooo would like to say that my enamel painting dried the way i I wanted AND the brown whitish panel i spent 4 hours painting layers on is STILL streaky! and I duno if it is because i use gesso instead of white paint, or what. very frustrating cuz i wana pour enamel on it, like i did the small one, but then i feel like iim cheating, but who am i cheating if it is my studio? i talked to bex, and she has had this feeling too. so it is an artist thing. im not nuts!

i'm going to NYC!

"My name is Jimmy, but my friends call me the hideous penguin boy."

I also need a mini break from Philly. I am gonna try n make it to the Tim Burton show at MOMA!

This is surgery equipment. I am going to use this somehow.

This is oil based enamel on here. I'm not sure how it will dry, or what i'm going to put on it.

Today I worked on making this 48x48 inch panel flat meaning no streaks. Yesterday I painted the blue one behind it, also 48x48. I listened to 60 Cocteau Twins songs. Rebecca called me a perfectionist today in the studio n it made me really happy. I hope to get the momentum back where I don't want to be away from the studio for too long. I chose those colors from markers I bought yesterday. I am obsessed with idea of FRESH. somewhat like the colors you see when u see a movie n someone dives under water in a pool. The colors don't translate at all from real life to picture though. But, you get the idea.

Maryam Uday's store.

Ines Fresangel's room. It makes me want to frame everything. I have a hot pink wall. I love it, especially when it reflects onto my slanted white ceiling in the afternoon.

Sculpture, Emanuel Pere. I love lines. They are everything to me.

Sculpture at Versaille. Futurisitic purple horses!

I have a metallic sticker from japan on my computer. I'm sure it just says 'always replace cap' or something. but don't they look like monsters?

I like cute bad things. This is in Fraser Cook's apt.

I prefer creepy, but this was sweet.

Lauren, she doesn't read my blog, but this is for you. She cares about dolphins. I care about sticking pictures in funny places.

I don't like quirky weird, tho i've been called quirky and weird. maybe I'm just a sucker for Chanel. Feet belong to Emi Kemeok. *i wana name my cat or daughter EMI! spelled that way. something about the i makes me wana say emE. instead of emmy. letters, i like them.

magic on Emi.

Beautiful colors, straight lines in Yasumas's apt.

I love creative homes. They make me feel excited about being alive. I crave a house with color and loads of books and things to cut up, and pretty photos in frames, and nice smelling flowers, and organized closets and lots of love.

I have a gigantic crush on the bassist/singer from The XX!!!!!

I was right next to the stage. All the beats were done on the spot, no preprogramed sounds. I also thought the girl was really sweet and humble smiling at the people right next to the stage. My eyes were pretty much glued to the bassist tho. I think he is 20! (:x)

This is a moment from the song 'Crystalised'
