So I just won a contest at www.junkmag.com so I'm superpsyched. I actually really like the official winner's photograph. HOnestly, I feel like somehting about my paintings that won isn't really translating from painting to scan/photo, but Brad, the editor seems to like it. Oh, and I get a free bag full of shit from Fashion Week. And a photo from Brad. Err and I think a signed Christian Siriano lookbook (but that might have been for the top billed artist) :D Excited.

I have been promising to send him a painting I did of him for the longest time. It took me a year to give Melissa her Christmas painting. This summer is going to be the summer of hardcore painting and practice. I'm buckling down like Sargent. I'm really terrible about that shit. Le sigh.

Anyway, y'all can go to junkmag to see the pieces, or just look umm here: lol

and here

This is some new stuff I'm working on. I've been looking at a lot of candid club photos and coming up with random titles grabbed from moronic conversations. As Bette Midler put it, I'm trying to "turn shit into chicken salad." Whatever that even means. Anyway, here are some titles and some works in progress. I'm not sure where it's all going. lol
Float
Every Mom
Submerged Vehicle
Stop Spinning
Thanks, Thanks, Thank You
Fridge
Do You Eat?
My Partner
I Didn’t Even Know the Music

I'm thinking when it's all done this will be called "I gots lipstick on my teefahs."

Got back from NY this week and I have lots to report, but for now I'll leave it to your imaginations. This picture...
Anyway, I'm back on the art warpath and just started painting some more drunk people. This time, they're Asian!
