new poem!

Leas(t) Renewal Line

Your pine cone fiction-airs lost me on the highways to Georgia and back. I was saving bricks for your motor-less boat fantasies but the overnight drive took away your libido. I wore out some other rubber made man parts with my wicked insides. Your tips didn’t miss much, just maybe 4 hours of reproduction. I heard you say

it is

a waste of electrical endeavors but when the bitch can lick her gaping wounds the only remedy is a cork. The lunch box is in the fridge next to my aromatic arches aching for some structure or support and other things your bubble gum vending machine fingers relentlessly forget. There might be some sweets and nothing home right

about time

the dogs swallow these meat feeding paws. If it was tears you were after, those legs should have left the shoes in my mouth and the door crooked. Naked or not, knock knock jokes can’t win a watermelon at this un-fair ground. Are you wondering

that I

haven’t lost all my change of heart and pennies to a grown man? Too bad movies are more romantic when insensitive sound makers are directing. Ever hear the story of the goat and the porcupine. The porcupine only died when it did know realize it had to

live alone.

This awesome project by Gary Chang, a Hong Kong architect, is quite insperational. He transformed his pint-sized living space —a typical Hong Kong cramped 330-square foot apartment— into a super-efficient, super awesome 24-room bachelor pad with the help of an ingenious system of sliding walls, panels, and gizmos.

Recently, the New York Times profiled Chang and his amazing mini-mansion. Great way of downsizing! When Chang talks about the living conditions of the apartment when he was a child is quite shocking in comparison to his home now.

other spaces....

Hello Heterotopia.. Jackie Tileston is one trippy painter. She mixes
Chinese and Tibetan landscape motifs in a flux of empty and full, atmospheric and graphic, abstract and figurative, quiet and psychedelic.
I really enjoy this part of her statement.... " A recent rereading of Foucault's' 1967 "Of Other Spaces - Heterotopias" essay was an inspiration since it perfectly defined the intent of much of this work - to create paintings in which several different locations or spaces are made to coexist within one space. In some ways, any of my paintings could be called heterotopic - "juxtaposing in a single real place several spaces, several sites that are themselves incompatible." Ideas of how we construct our realities and selves through language, social structure, geography, etc. offers a seemingly endless band of possibilities - my work as a painter is knitting the world together in a kind of visual globalism."

breath taking medias (take me back)

Hollis Brown Thorton lives and works in a warehouse studio in Aiken, South Carolina. He is quite amazing.
This is his MARKER piece VHS. Quite stunning, I must say. I put a larger one at the end of the post. Here is another piece of his that i admire:::
The title for that one is "nternational Working Party For Documentation & Conservation of Building
Sites & Neighborhoods of the Modern Movement." Snazzy.
Here is a snip from his artist statement that I really enjoyed.. "The environments in the work are constructed of both the tangible and the remote, things that are already understood and things in a vague state of formation. For instance, images in the photographs are tangible aspects of reality, frozen moments in time, people and places that exist, or at one time existed. Erasing or obscuring elements of the photograph puts the situation in a state of transition. Adding the lines and drawings adds other influences and potentials. Sometimes these lines are controlled by the elements in the photograph and sometimes they are completely independent. But the figures in the photographs, they are the reason the myths exist, they are the questioners who come up with the stories and explanations, so their environment is altered to represent these uncertainties and changing beliefs."

awesome things...

This... is totally worth your eyes... Eric Wareheim is a genious.. and a great dodge ball player as well... this one is also freaking great. Just throwing the awesomeness out there for you...

places to move to.

Halloween is coming up and I am going to be a rainbow. I am sewing my costume right now but here's where my mind set has been lately....

ribosome

i love you science.

amazing.

dedication

I did something like this for the Rainbows and Unicorn Show at the Echo Curio.. but by no means was it to this magnitude. Basheer Graphic Books put a contest out to promote Pantone color guide book to art college students and faculty. I am not sure what school or who was the actual artist. I am sorry.

sheer beauty.

This was a promo for Queen's "Bicycle Race."

Ok. So I have been working at Locali for about 2 months now and I still haven't written anything about the place. Shame on me. Locali is amazing. I keep telling folks that it's like if whole foods had a 7eleven. We make sandwiches, can make them vegan and gluten free, sell gluten free, vegan and raw options for food. We have a great selection of organic beers and wines and gluten free beers as well. A lot of the products in the store are locally made. The best part of the job (from a mediascapes standpoint) is the use of twitter for the store and the Icycle, the ice cream selling bicycle. Not only are the daily specials just a tweet away but so is the location of the Icycle. This geospacial, enviro friendly mobile food device finds its way to multiple farmers markets, social spaces, and birthday parties. I so far am the only girl riding the bike and I love it. We sell alot of locally made frozen treats such as Carmela's Ice Creams, Popshop Popcicles, Bittersweet Treats, and Tomberlies raw ice creams. Don't believe me on the awesome factor? Here's our yelp!

something to keep in mind

watch out for this artist.

Alia Penner's got some awesome stuff. my friend Sonny ran into her and met her and she might be in the MSTRCYLNDR.
