2010: a space odyssey

so this is the year of the space odyssey.... thankfully the year didn't begin with apes killing each other... well.. mine didn't atleast..

finally getting at my photos from the trip. i stand by my belief that things look better when it's cold. unfortunately, things look better when you know how to stand still and hold a camera... which didn't happen much this last month...

either way, i love this photo, so take it with you until i figure out the best way to show the rest of these to the world..

blizzards brats and beer

Back from europe. cab at 4 am (or 5 am) from Utrecht to amsterdam. fly amsterdam to warsaw. fly the craziest flight of my life from warsaw to toronto. arrive 2 hours late. get excited about a delayed flight for the first time ever. until that delayed flight turn into a 3 hour delay. try to eat tim hortons. end up wanting to puke. fly toronto to chicago. get in a disgruntled cab home.

yesterday will likely go down in the books as the most ridiculous travel day of my life.

europe was cold. paris was on strike (the whole city. i'm serious) munich was full and delicious. andechs kloster beer is the best beer in europe. some of the best in the world actually. learned about nazis. sa an old man balance on a wine bottle. there was a blizzard. europe shut down. saw an amazing mondrian/picasso/cezzane exhibit in den haag, walked around in the snow alot. drank lots of "coffee" (which.. is a universal term for lots of different coffee based beverages). ate more bread then usual (which.. is alot). thought i had parisites. had a great time.

now it's time for christmas, and getting melissa settled in, and editing photos and videos, and trying to enjoy the rest of my vacation on what little money is left from europe. strikes and blizzards cause for alot of unexpected expenses.

merry christmas folks.

Upcomming group show

It's been awhile. mainly cause i've been busy. i bought a video camera. shit's about to get weird. either way all of that art work is starting to pay off...

December 5th, at 7pm, I will be in a group show at Gold Star Bar in Chicago (1755 W Division St, Chicago IL). I'm not really sure what the show is gonna be like, or what exactly i will show thanks to my work being HUGE, and this being a group show with limited room. Either way, I'm excited to be showing at home with some new artists, and showing some of the ridiculous amounts of crap i've been making. If you are in Chicago you should come. It is gonna be fun.

After the show, i'll be jumping across the Pond for a few weeks full of romantic adventure comedy. for good measure, we might throw some suspense in there. who knows.

Now i need to go sew some things. and turn off this new john mayer... what a let down.
