change of date

In case you read this more than talk to me, the scrimshaw opening's been rescheduled, but I don't know for when yet...some time next week I'm sure.

I'll keep you posted, don't worry!

"Nothing Happened"

The film last night was great! I was so impressed, it's only 10 minutes long, but it's a highly entertaining 10 minutes and my art's all over it. I'll let everyone know when it's really in town on the festival circuits.

Then me and Jacob might have found the best burger in NY, for real. It was at hotel on 81st between Central Park West and Columbus. It was amazing, and you can get it with portabello fries which should become a new staple. I'm already thinking about when I can force some more friends that far uptown so I can have it again...mmmmm...burger and fried mushrooms....

Look! I'm famous!

So I'm floored that other people blog about my artwork. Not only do I wonder consistently where they found it, but even when I find out how they found me I'm still impressed. Anyway, since other people are blogging about me it makes sense that I should get better about blogging about myself so I don't have to depend on coincidence to update everyone as to what's going on...so here we go...

Today, a print of mine goes on auction on igavel.com as part of a lot of emerging artists put together by Daniel Cooney Fine Art. It's an amazing wood engraving print that Brad Ewing printed at his print shop, Marginal Editions, that we printed on some absolutely gorgeous gold paper he gave me that had been custom made for him at Dieu Donne. Anyone who give me several pieces of incredibly sparkly, metallic paper will forever hold a place in my heart. But if you want to see the pieces from me and the other absolutely fabulous emerging artists here you go: http://auction.igavel.com/

I'll be there, so you can at least have a chance to hang out with me, I may even wear a dress, I haven't decided yet. No heels though, so don't get your hopes too far up.

...anything else...YES! The scrimshaw opening at Baby Grand, a awesome, hipster karaoke bar in SOHO is going to be on October 2nd, which I think is a Friday...but I'll give everyone more details of that when I have them all. I wouldn't want you to have to plan anything too far in advance.

So there we go, this is what I've been up to, this is what's going on. Except I have a new mattress (the one I've had for years was 26 years old)...it's huge. I walk past my bedroom and I laugh. I'm tall, and I have to jump up into it. It's absurd. It's so absurd I'm going to show you:

Ha!
