Some time around March, Sam let me know that she’d like me to paint her portrait for her birthday (in May). The first step was to pick the right photo. After a few photoshoots and hundreds of shots we chose this photo to work from: The painting was to be done on cradled masonite, which […]
Copro Show
On Saturday night I went to the opening of the June Hive show (that I’m in). The art this month was better than last I was happy to see. However, I’ll post all about that after visiting the show again on the art walk this week. After the Hive I picked up Sam and we […]
Are dog lovers with kids automatically stupid?
Yes. Yes, they are. This time a child died. I blame myself, really. After all, I’ve tried to get the word out again and again and I guess I just didn’t make my point. Good job mom and dad, I’m so glad you won’t face charges. I bet if daddy had given the kid a loaded […]
working
There used to be a time when I’d go for sabbaticals from the blog because I was depressed. If you’ve ever been depressed, and it turns out more people than would like to admit so have been, you know what I mean. However, recently I just haven’t had the time to update on the multitude of […]
Art Walk May 2010
Sam and I met up with Aaron and Garen at The Hive to start the art walk. The Hive used to have a small section devoted to “hippy” art. I don’t mean to demean it, but that it what it is in a nutshell, all about “opening your third eye” and all of that. Much […]
his wall
Is this worth it to see Roger Waters perform The Wall from “nosebleed” seats? I’m going to say no, based on his hoarse performance a few years ago at that charity Pink Floyd “reunion” charity show in London.
On Saturday I headed south to Sam’s place. Even though it was her birthday she ended up cooking for us. But I certainly can’t complain when the meal looks like this lobster thermidor (and no, that isn’t a small plate – that’s a big lobster tail): After dinner we went to the Hive for the […]
Hive Gallery May show
I will be part of the Hive gallery’s May show, opening at 8pm this Saturday. Please stop by and say hello.
it isn’t “clear” at all!
I’ve been trying to tell this to people for years – but nobody understands/listens. At work we recently got 20″ TVs to use at our trade show booths because “they’re HD and they’ll look awesome.” When I tried to explain the resolution of the TV vs. a 20″ computer monitor I just got confused looks […]
weekend
On Friday Sam and I took the day off and headed southeast to Temecula. What I don’t think either of us realized is that the rolling hills of vineyards would not be actually filled with grapes at this time of year, but slowly growing green vines. Regardless, the scenery was mostly green and vastly different […]
