found a bunch of amazing stevie nicks tumblrs, so i've been listening to a bunch of live albums and made this today in the studio using flash and illustrator

oh yeah it's also a tribute to hole's "violet". especially when she performed it live here:

i saw this at zach feuer gallery a few years ago and it's never left my mind. i'm using it as the basis of color/light inspiration for my new place in baltimore.

gagosian always comes through

Two chelsea gallery-hopping adventures ago I stumbled upon Yayoi Kusama’s “Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity” at Gagosian. I’d seen pictures and been amazed but never thought I’d get to experience it. You enter that small structure, and the entire walls and ceiling are mirrored, and there’s a mirrored platform you stand on and you’re surrounded by an inch or so of water on the floor. These lights/candles are flickering, dimming on and off, and it’s all reflected everywhere just going out into infinity. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

from livejournal to this

i guess i'll just tell all my stories through photos and one-liners now...

So summer's goin pretty damn well.

Splittin my time between the island and the city.

Internship is g-o-o-d, they're giving me real GD things to do.

Just been watching movies and having fun otherwise.

I just watched "GIA". So good.

I also really want to see this 1985 movie called "The Stuff" after seeing these screenshots. I have to hunt down a copy, preferably VHS...

So I've just been chillin since I've been home. Adjusting to Long Island life, seein friends, havin fun. Went to orientation for my internship yesterday, looks like it's gonna be a fun lil' job. I watched The Fly yesterday for the first time with Jackie and Riley. SO FUCKING GREAT. Too much Jeff Goldblum nudity and not enough Geena Davis side-boob.

Just finished reading Calvin Tomkin's "Lives of the Artists." It's just a compilation of pieces he wrote over the last decade about some contemporary artists. Most of my favorites actually (Hirst, Koons, Sherman, Barney, Currin, Cattelan, Johns, Turrel, etc.) They're all amazing short bios paired with one-on-one interviews, mostly at the artists' home and studio. He really gets to know them and, I feel, accurately portrays them. Pick this shit up, art kids.

And I leave you with some amazing texts from Texts From Last Night:

(631): Everytime she opens her mouth it's like a fucking terrorist attack on my life.

(239): I left my keys in the garlic bread freezer in Publix.
