Fakes, frauds, and grifters
I’m not gonna call anyone out by name, so we’ll just say “Z” for the apparent generation of the one who inspired this rant. Z is a video content creator. Nothing wrong with that. Z tells people she’s an artist. And she paints, so sure. OK. Z seems to...
New shade tree, new fountain, new comics, etc.
Finally getting the summer heat, meaning I’m on daily watering duty now. I did get a tree planted a week or so ago. I think in the last blog post I had just planted a baby silk tree, but I decided to move it to a new spot closer...
Properly introducing Noah, plus some tree planting
Well, when I last wrote I still had a hoarse voice from being sick, but that has now gone back to normal, so come Monday morning I’ll be back at it for The Nick White Show. About all I did for Nick this week was write a couple short...
Sickness and the start of that leprechaun sculpt
Well, I guess the short version of the blog is “I got sick and did nothing all week other than cough and complain.” But that’s not quite true, of course. I came down with flu-like symptoms on Sunday afternoon which got worse through Monday. Tuesday I woke about 30%...
Tree plans and not-yet-organized chaos
Almost forgot the Saturday blog… it’ll be a short one this week. The heat has arrived and that means watering duty is back. My dad’s been helping me rip out weeds, but there is definitely a need for me to get on track with laying down cardboard and mulch...
Back to our regularly scheduled Saturday random updates blog
Which I meant to start up again last week but got sidetracked. Whatever. Woke up with this song in my head: Which in a way fits what’s been going on, except it’s all old shit when you consider that I’ve decided to just focus on painting and that goes...
Lame “important” art vs. fun fan art
So, I saw a FB post from an art magazine showing some installation where someone (presumably a humorless art school prig, though I know my first reaction was to burst out laughing) printed a bunch of blah blah blah slogans about barriers and inclusion in foundation year of art...
Some texts to my brother and notes on celebrity and visual arts culture
So, I’ve been pondering artistic direction yet again (more bellyaching about that on another post so as to keep this one on topic). And I was thinking about drawings me and my friends used to do in high school of celebrities and how there kinda was something to that,...
Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Marilyn Manson set list 1995
I mentioned the story of this early Marilyn Manson show I went to in 1995 and the poster I got and got a couple signatures on. Here’s the set list I got at the same show. It was at guitarist Daisy Berkowitz’s spot on stage and that would be...
Friday Arts & Crafts Day Update: April 29, 2022
Been a while, but then I’ve been working on this stuff for at least 2 weeks and nothing else to report on this month… so… it’s all about the strippers’ changeroom set for The Nick White Show. Let’s have a shot of the whole set first, ready to shoot...
