The Illustration Friday theme this week is poise, which led me directly to Alexander McQueen's show at Paris Fashion Week. Pen and ink on paper.
*Sold* to the charming Caitlin, who seems to have the world within her grasp.
Now playing: Killer 7 (yes, I am that guy, that guy still working through his old PS2 titles, on his old PS2 system, fully aware that his gaming days will soon be so much dust). The Japanese are very, very weird.
Working late last night, pressing prints for Susan's upcoming show.
Just watched: Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I was on the couch, it was on the tv, both of us were just like, Duuude. And I had no memory of how much nudity was in this thing. For that, and other reasons (a certain 80's charm), it holds up remarkably well. With: Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, Forest Whitaker, Eric Stoltz, Nicholas Cage, Anthony Edwards ...
My sister Rachel, a trained and talented upholsterer, has just started her own site called fully furnished. Give it a look. And, if you're in Montreal and you'd love dearly to rejuvenate that funky piece of furniture you rescued from the sidewalk, send her an email to talk turkey.

Love your line work for 'poised'; your sister's furniture looks good, too. We're a bit far away to take advantage of it but we wish her success.
ReplyDeletelove these pieces of work... so cool and pouty.
ReplyDeletenow, thanks for reminding me about ridgemont high. good weekend zone out dude.
and your sister ROCKS! i will drive up and pick up those two chairs pronto. i need some chairs in my life. no where to sit around here...
ooh, "Poised" is awesome-McQueen-awesome! Are you making monotypes with a printing press? That is what I am supposed to be doing, that is what I worked so hard to do. I rented out studios and printing pressed forever, I finally got my own press after 15 years, then I got the boot from the tall guy and I got so sad I haven't made a monotype since! Yuk, I can't let him best me, but he did say, as he was booting me out the door, "Your art sucks and you are crazy!" so I have been trying to quit both. Not easy.
ReplyDeleteYour sister's furniture is awesome! For a person who has found most of her furniture in dumpsters and such, I say "Yes Please!" to the art your sister does. It is amazing what people throw out.
And hey, just wait a bit-you can play your video games(sorry I really don't know their names and all that) when babies become kids so hold on to your doo-dahs.
