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



next post:
pictures of something will be included

just a little bit...

ok, here is just a taste of some stuff that is going on in my every day situation.
these are just some woodblocks and i will put up some of the actual prints after i get some more of them.. i am still figuring stuff out.



and...
so these were the first ideas from my whole 'word' situation...
i'm still playing with this too,
so give me some time.
these aren't all of them either, but...
give me time to get the rest up later on...

stayin alive

so..
i am still here. i swear.
i just got back from a beautiful almost-week in sarasota florida with the gianna and friends. it was a very needed breath of fresh air and ocean waves. too good. but now, back in the realness philadelphia. things are rolling again.
anyway...
here are two (pretty crappy) pictures of some stuff i am trying out. they are both woodblock prints, from different woodblocks layered on top of each other.


i am loving poetry class and and interested in pulling text into images and playing with that...
but anyway. this is a preview.
i promise i'll post more this coming week when i get my ass back in the studio.
peace and love love all around
