Convincing arguments on Super Tuesday…

Howdy.
This post is for Super-Duper Tuesday-ers.
I’m not sure if I’ll leave it up after tonight, but it impressed me and I thought I’d post it for today, at least.
Keep in mind that this is not a faith-based argument - perhaps then think about how similar a faith-based argument would sound.
I don’t know much about Lawrence [...]

Spiritual America (part 3)…

This is “Docucolor 1″ from the new series of paintings I’m working on.
If you’re around next Thursday, a few friends and I have drawings in: Night of 1,000 Drawings, A Benefit for Artists Space. 
I’m not sure what time I’ll be there.  It’s on the same night as at least 4 other openings/Christmas Parties I know [...]

Spiritual America (part 2)…

OK, by tomorrow, apparently I meant “way off in the future.”
And apparently this is going to be multi-part.
Also apparently, the review is going to be severely edited before going into Comment Magazine.
All right, on to the paintings. I’ve pretty much liked Prince’s paintings from the start. The racist, off-color and tacky jokes just [...]

Veg Head…

In honor of my “Jesus year” (I turned 33 yesterday) I have decided to become a vegetarian for 1 year.
For some reason, this makes me want to record my meals on this blog.
They’ll be short.
Regular art blogging will remain a weekly endeavor, possibly increasing in the near future.
Day 1:
October 29, 2007
Breakfast: Coffee and an [...]

Mother Theresa ate my seminary homework…

So if you’re a Christian, you’re trying to be like Jesus.
If you have a hard time picturing Him and need to look to someone living for a good reference, Mother Theresa was it.

ok, so the big new revelation has been that Mother Theresa had doubts. Big doubts. Crushingly huge tractor trailer-sized [...]

Aumin(i)um Foil rises again!

You may have heard about or seen the exhibit, “Aluminum Foil” by Tom Friedman at the Lever House lobby. If not, you can see some images here. It’s pretty amazing.
I recently had cause to re-work a previously dormant tinfoil project with a new series of video, photographs, drawings and sculpture surrounding the Armor [...]

Art and Religion

I’ve been interested in the relationship between art and religion for a while now. This is not least in part because I grew up in an art-starved religiously conservative environment.
I do think it’s an interesting topic and one that has only recently seemed to gain acceptability in the gallery scene.
Take the recent religious bend [...]

Art tragedy: Jeremy Blake dies at 35

The New York Times posted this article on the life and work of Jeremy Blake.
I remember seeing his first solo show at Feigen Gallery, now Kintz, Tillou + Feigen and followed his career fairly closely ever sinse.
His work definitely showed promise and he was, in some respects, one of the very few people making interesting [...]

The New Best Book Ever Written…On Shelves Today!

ok folks, The Book of Jane debuts today in stores and online across America.
…and yes, I know it’s not the Bible, but I did say “new” and I’ll just differ to let it hold the fiction category title.
I probably don’t need to tell you of its greatness, but it’s great…definitely the best one yet.
Here’s the [...]
