Have a Holiday

Happy Holiday of your Choice to all my friends and enemies around the World!

Hoping everyone is enjoying daily celebrations. OH, THERE IS SO MANY THINGS TO TELL YOU ABOUT! My life is better than ever and I'm trying hard not to look so Dead. This year has just flown by and I cant believe how many AMAZING things I've done to make this world a better place. HALLELUJAH to me!!.. I made so many new friends that I like (hi) and everyone fills my artificial heart with happiness!... Lacy, my dog is hobbling around and drooling on everyone she meets. I still enjoy the Ocean Air one week and live on my crappy sailboat the next. And I even had time to decorate my Motorhome too (see above). Still trying to find my path in Life and enjoying all the treasures and tragedies I experience along the way. Ummm... did I tell you I am pharmacist of the year at my little drug store in Fort Bragg! Overall my life is neat except I dont hear from you enough!

Each year all of my friends stress about what to get the boy who has EVERYTHING! So I feel it is my duty to simplify it for all the peoples in my life that need to buy me something.

Here is a brief list:

Ritalin, Cookies, Handjobs, red licorice, Cynthia Plastercaster "artwork", slip on blue and white checkered Vans (size 10.5) or vintage motorcycle boots, Ambition, Quiet Riot poster, Tanning Booth, Fleshlite, sleeping pills, the Sada Abe autobiography, a wood beaded seat cover, Deodarant for YOU to put on when you come over to visit me, sexy underwear, A High Five, Blindfolds, Fame, Parker Posey T-shirt, a cool bumper sticker for my truck, Whistle and Mace in case I get raped and dont want to be, Breath Mints and Lube, chocolate, air fresher spray for when you come over and use my bathroom, a barrel full of money and nicer friends.

A Night of Musical Suprises

I'm asking all of you to make a mix CD and burn 6 additional

copies of it. I'll load all the music into my MAC and project the

sounds throughout my empty loft on the Oakland estuary.

Enjoy the tunes while you chow down on some delicious grub made

by my friend and chef extrodinaire Tom Cohen

If you hear something you like you have the opportunity to go

home with 6 new CD's

Please bring the libation of your choice and gifts for me.

Or a funny story.

Or a funny friend if you are not funny.

Welcome To My Evil Empire: Paintings, Photographs, and Signs
New works by Beth Grundvig, Daniel Dienelt, and Kyle SilerMay - June 2008ARE YOU READY TO ROCK???Of course you aren't. I'm not ready to rock. I have an art gallery to run.ARE YOU READY TO COME TO A KILLER ART SHOW?Yeah? Well ok! 'Cause I'm having one!KILLER ART SHOW ARTIST'S RECEPTIONTHURSDAY MAY 22.7:00WELCOME TO MY EVIL EMPIRE: Paintings, Photographs, and SignsNew works by Beth Grundvig, Daniel Dienelt, and Kyle SilerI am so excited to host the work of these three artists in the gallery. So excited I brought out the italics!!!

Overjoyed at the Underpass: Beth Grundvig's stark and realistic urbanscapes are the empty spaces, ends of streets and alleys, the undersides of freeways, dumpsters, puddles, bricks, and beams, building-size and still, life. They're skillfully executed pastels in polaroid color. Wait til you see her twelvetych. Beth's studio is in Emeryville.

I envisioned abstract photography as working well with Beth's pieces, and Daniel Dienelt, an artist in Fort Wayne, Indiana was suggested. I appreciate Daniel's willingness to participate from across the country. Daniel's photography gets manipulated and worked, digitally and physically, through collage and encaustic wax. He frequently shoots with experimental cameras and techniques. I like his sense of composition and subject matter: buildings and skateboarding.

Kyle Siler is an evil genius and if you don't believe it just ask him. No really, do. Kyle's work is the ping and pong of lost and found, sweet and vulgar, profound, banal. It's also hanging from my ceilings, an arch wave of wooden wrath n' luv, and he keeps bringing more. You can check it out here, shot on location in scenic Westport, CA, but be careful because there are some dirty words.
