There's something inherently entertaining about creating real-life things out of digital stuff . Alice did this recently by turning her weekly notes into a printed and bound book , back in the day Ben took a bunch of tweets and turned them into a newspaper, and I took an online friendship group and turned it into an IRL conference LARP . I've spent a lot of time lately digging through my own…
Hitting the end of the year and have entirely failed with interesting updates. So, a quick sitrep: Finished the year with paintings in 3 shows over 6-ish weeks. Very uneven annual spread which I will attempt to rectify next year. Should be re-showing the coyote show at a cool place TBA around March. Finished the last taught module of my MFA. Mid-January starts a roughly 6-month period where I come…
I've been working on my MFA, and my most recent project required two things: 1. a collaboration and 2. a public outcome. Oh, and do it all in 10 weeks. I ended up reaching out to Tali Caspi , who is an urban ecologist who studies the coyotes that live in San Francisco. So, being completely self-interested, I hoped she would work with me to put something together so that I could learn more about…
I've tried a variety of times to keep month notes, week notes, logs, all sorts. Failure, all of them. However. I still need to solve these anxieties for myself: Feeling like time slips by too fast. Feeling like I'm not getting anything done. The system that's finally worked for me is one that's private and low-effort, scrappy and ugly. At the beginning of the year, I started a fresh daily log…
From right now, until September 19th 2024, BFF.fm has an auction going, including one of my paintings that I donated to the station. BFF is a non-profit community radio station in San Francisco, and I'm so happy to have the opportunity to suppor them this way. The auction also includes some other pieces of art from more local artists, as well as a bunch of other fun things from all kinds of other…
I’ll have some paintings up at the inaugural community show at The Faight Collective from this month, through to September. They’re having an opening party (that I can’t make) on the 13th July, 6pm - 10pm and then all the art will be hanging in their space until mid-September. You can buy a ticket for the party over on their eventbrite .
On 11th February, from 11am to 6pm, I'll be doing a pop-up with Bernal Village Marketplace . I'll have a selection of prints, framed pieces and originals availble! Come see me!
Humble brag, but I have jetlag, and therefore I find myself wide awake at gone 2am. Seems as good a time as any for an update. Recently: We just got back from a trip to Australia, for Web Directions Summit . Alex spoke, mostly about the lost decade and the cost of JavaScript on the web eco-system ( the market for lemons ). The usual. I had screen printed him his very own "Anti JavaScript…
Opening on November 5th, STUDIO gallery is hosting their annual "tiny" show . The event showcases small works - all are under 7 inches in any dimension, and under $500. I'll have 5 paintings in the show , 4 will be viewable in the gallery itself whilst the final one will be available via their online store . The opening reception is noon to 6pm on November 5th at 1641 Pacific (between Polk and Van…
I absolutely gave up on weeknotes last year, but I have sort of missed doing some type of regularly scheduled update, so I'm making it easier on myself by not having to think in small increments - because sometimes nothing happens in a week. So, here's some recent things for mostly August, and I reserve the right to do whatever time frame I fancy in the future. I passed my 10 year anniversary in…
