this is a recent post of his.
\nit’s interesting, because like many Instagram posts ‘in the genre’, it shows the scale<\/strong>, of the drawing, and the art ‘utensil’, in this case – a fine point watercolor brush. it feels very immediate. and intimate.<\/p>\n

I also<\/strong> really like it, because it’s got this great<\/strong> throw-back ‘Beavis & Butthead’ vibe.
\nthe profile. the white empty, but still expressive eyes. the macabre aspect.<\/p>\n

PLUS: this is exactly how I<\/strong> feel right now – that slit throat, dis-associated from his n body proper.
\nlol.
\nyes !! – that’s me. no doubt about it.
\nI’m totally short circuiting, I just can’t<\/strong> keep up with posting all the OPENING PIX – I take in real<\/strong> time. it’s impossible. I am already behind by 7 posts !!
\nand it’s just been Feb. what happened to . . Feb !!
\ntoo much. I’d rather run and catch the shows, then stop and post the pix. obviously.<\/p>\n

plus, I like to stop and think<\/strong> about things, sometimes. imagine that.
\nbut, mostly it’s because . . I’m so contrarian !!
\neven to myself.
\nwhat ? a great celebrity-driven + awesome deep large format naked photos . . opening, GREGORY CREWDSON, no less – lol.
\nwhat ? TOMOO GOKITA at JOHNSON TRADING ?
\nwhat ? the new kids on the block, GRETTA JOHNSON & ANDY CAHILL, who I just meet last week at CANADA, pop up the very next weekend. and the even newer ones: LAUREN HILL, and NICHOLAS MOENICH at his show – at the new Brooklyn apt pop-up, run by MICHAEL FLEMING . . called MOUNTAIN ?
\nand, what about that YALE MFA GRAD CLASS crew at EMMY THELANDER’s closing. omg. omg. my head is just cut off from my body.
\nI gotta get on it.
\ndamn.
\nput this site back together – like Humpty Dumpty.<\/p>\n

in the meantime – of course, total distraction of the Instagram feed – reigns !!<\/p>\n

so, take just one more little ride of the ‘URBAN IMAGINATION’ – with me \/ SKILLS !!
\nand, then tomorrow, I promise – I will get back on schedule.<\/p>\n
