the this summer i wish was here and me in it too

i know it has been forever.
and those of you who read this probably stopped checking.
i stopped checking.
you know, life happens, and you realize that sometimes the moments you could take to post a picture, or some words have been gone and used up by other things that
are either arguably necessary, or arguably not.
anyway, the point is, here i find myself, with at least 17 min.s before my next class, in a beyond freezing room in the new tyler school of art building - so why not make a thing of it. i spend monday through thursday here, from a little before 9 to somewhere around 4. it is so cold in here that in my little break between classes, everyone on main campus stares at me in shock that on this day breaking at 88 degrees or so, i scurry around of coffee in long jeans, closed toed shoes and a sweater.

some things:
- i am making a brush up mold out of pepto bismol pink silicone, and it is of a street stump.
- i have done a couple box molds in polyurethane of roosters (that i cast in neon orange and blue plastic)
- there is an old school glass milk jar that i have done a blanket mold with that i just filled with white pigmented foam and latex.
- i keep hoping to better develop this idea for a traveling research project, but keep not doing that.
- i am trying to figure out how i can get a job where i get to travel around the world talking to strangers.
- printmaking is trying my nerves. ...but i have a couple ideas left.
- i am feeling slowly aware that many many people who i know are leaving philadelphia, or have already gone.
- i want to leave philadelphia, and it is debatable that i have already gone.
- am interested in renting a store front in new part of trend-town-philly.



i love and miss many people
