\nhard to believe, but yeah !! that’s JOE BRADLEY on the left, with his band – CHEESEBURGER !!
\nCAPITALE, JULY 24, 2003<\/p>\n

\"early
\nTAYLOR McKIMENS was there too, behind him – one of his all-dressed ‘cheeseburger’ paintings !!<\/p>\n

\"early
\nwhen TAYLOR McKIMENS left these (somewhat) DONALD BAECHLOR-influenced minimalist pop images behind, and got back in touch with his rural South Western desert roots, with ‘THE DRIPS’ – his career & painting really began to take off . . . <\/p>\n

\"early
\nMISAKI KAWAI and TAYLOR McKIMENS, an item back in the day . . . <\/p>\n

. . . guess we should show you a couple of more pix we found, buried deep in the archival shoeboxes !!
\nhow about the gang at a seminal show – ‘MAJORITY WHIP’ !! – organized by KATHY GRAYSON and LAURA TEPPER, at WHITEBOX, MAY 1 – MAY 29, 2004.
\nIn the, as yet, unwritten annals of NYC painting, this show is going to be famous for being the first outing of TAYLOR McKIMENS’ – ‘THE DRIPS’ – and I do mean, literally!! <\/p>\n

\"early
\nBRIAN BELOTT at the opening of ‘MAJORITY WHIP’ – an artist ‘get out and vote’ effort. MAY 1, 2004
\n(at least he has new schmatta on his head !!)<\/p>\n

\"early
\nwe forgot how charming, MICHAEL WILLIAMS, was !! back in the day.
\n‘MAJORITY WHIP’, MAY 1, 2004<\/p>\n

\"early
\nthe first outing of TAYLOR McKIMENS, ‘The Drips’ !! well, first there was this really strange but actually a-m-a-z-i-n-g, what-the-hell-is-that , literal ‘tableau’ of (paper) water ‘drips’ heading into pails and cups of some fake some real – water !! you really didn’t know what to think, but it was cool. and then there was a real ‘DRIPS’ family member in the back, in the oval frame on the yellow wall. that weirdo buttnaked chubby guy riding on tractor, with a blue lampshade over his head !!
\nYou know the Simpsons ? MEET THE DRIPS !!<\/p>\n

I remember well, going back another day. and this really dumbass collector, ok I’ll even name names !!
\nLEO (LIO) MALKA – was there, and he told me he had bought several of Taylor’s ‘hamburger’ paintings from ‘those girls’ over at CLEMENTINE – but he couldn’t make head over heels – what this new stuff was about, and he looked as if he had just seen his hard won dough (right !!) flushed down the toilet, that’s what I mean, dumbass. I think it even turned him off from buying contemporary ’emerging’ art altogether from that day forward. he has tons of HARINGS & BASQUIATS, so what !!<\/p>\n

\"early
\nthe large soft sponge-blob man, is by MISAKI KAWAI.<\/p>\n

\"early
\nour most fave piece by BRIAN BELOTT, e-v-e-r !!
\nno, its not a stick of butter, its a box of proverbial kleenex tissue !!
\nat the top it says; “Here Have a Tissue” – at the bottom, its easier to read:
\n“sorry about fuckin yur country” – its addressed to the people who took down the WORLD TRADE CENTER !! these collage posters were distributed freely, in a limited quantity at the opening, and if you were sharp you scored one, did we ? OF COURSE !! NO BRAINER !!
\nI mean its kind of a hard logic to follow in an anti-BUSH rally – but there you go – if you lived in NYC when the towers came down, you got it !!<\/p>\n

\"early
\nsilkscreen collage poster collaboration – MELISSA BROWN and BRIAN BELOTT.<\/p>\n
