Wayman Tisdale RIP

Went up to the Park Avenue Armory last night with my wife to check out Ernesto Neto’s installation, anthropodino. .  It was also one of those nights when all you have is beer for dinner and a few handfuls of chips and a caipirinha for dessert….so I apologize about the blurry photos.
It’s something you have to see in person, it’s mind blowing.

Neto is a sculptor from Rio who totally transforms the space, which was interesting to view against the old dilapidated building, (yes there is a firing range in the basement.) Also peep the trophy rooms designed by Tiffany. The pendulant sacks as stated in the press release are filled with spices like clove, ginger, cumin and lavender just to name a few.  You can see how they are staining some of the cloth.  It is a great place to bring the kids, you are encouraged to touch, smell, sit and walk through it.  It’s worth the trip and all proceeds go back into renovating the Armory.

five stars.

Just a quick add on to Bill’s post…Can’t wait to see photos of the show…Much thanks to Todd and Mikkel…Bravo gentlemen.

These are a couple of my collages in the show…

I went on a photo mission out in BK this past weekend and came across some truly old graffiti.  Way before the Lox and DMX repped Ruff Riders, Mikey and Pee Wee were running through the back alleys of Brighton Beach with the original Rough Riders crew, (Tags Dated 1954)...

This is fresh…Not necessarily graffiti but still hand done.  I believe this is also from the same era as the Rough Riders, possibly even earlier…still digging. More on this mission in the future…Thanks S.K.

I love the fine print.

Have been making new work in the studio…cutting up hundreds and hundreds, ok thousands of pieces of paper.  The piece on the bottom is a collage I made last year and just got around to scanning yesterday…

Among other things a good part of this week was spent working on some hand styes for T-shirt designs and logos…Here are some out takes.

This is my version of “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”...I know it’s missing a few letters but so what.

loosening up…

Can you tell I was watching Do it for the band: Women of the sunset strip on VH2…holy crap.

The 3d effect comes off better in the thumbnail

‘nuff said.

Wasn’t sure what this one was till I opened it…

...Whoa.

Feels good to break out the designers.
