Hollywood Undead


Hollywood Undead and 91X were in my store today. 
There were a lot of kids waiting to see these guys.

The store was pretty busy because of it. I got to take some pics and I also got a 91X key chain. I really liked all the excitement.

Meet up

I had a "meet up" today and made some new friends in the process.

I joined Steven Sloan and Rachel Kopel at Grant's in South Park for about 3 hours of sketching and art chat. Steven is an artist, book maker, eraser carver and street performer! He brought a few of his recent books which he let us look through. His wife is also an artist. Rachel is an artist and was heavily involved with mail art in the past. It was great sketching and talking art with these two talented people!

My sketch of some homes in the area.

journal entry 03-18-2009

The DVD, How to Draw a Bunny is about the collage, and performance artist, Ray Johnson. They say he was the founder of "mail art". He would paint and draw so much that he started sending pieces of the work to friends and family. He was a pretty strange character. When he sold his work he would ask the collector what they wanted to pay for the piece, then he would make a counter offer, then wheel and deal before letting go of the work. He didn't paint very much, his work consisted mainly of drawings and collage. Other times he would "put himself INTO the work".

Tattoo


I made marcus fat in the last panel because that's what I do when I am a little bit mad at people.

jounal page

I got my zine world today. I found quite a few zines I want to order. I am currently reading Jelly Roll and I can't figure out who is writing it or if they are real stories or not. All I know is, I am enjoying the 7 issues they sent me.
I have been doing more reading and less painting and drawing. I FEEL like drawing and painting I just don't know WHAT I feel like focusing on right now. I feel like I have a lot more time lately.
Drawings of Gary, alexis glick, and a few stickers I made.

Mostly sketches while watching TV. I don't know what prompted me to make my own gold seal. Probably watching the president make speeches and a lot of talk about finance lately.

our bus


This is our 67 bus. I remember when I bought it. I owned a big ole dodge van and a little Volkswagen beetle at the time.  Gary encouraged me to get this instead.  I would let him talk me into anything back then....even riding on a roller coaster once... BUT it was a neat van in it's day. 

It was pure white with orange curtains. Inside it had a refrigerator, seats that faced each other and a little table you could lift out from the side wall and prop up on one leg attached underneath it. The back area had a storage compartment and a little closet. There were also storage areas under the seats.

It's still fun to ride around in it once in a while but certainly not to be used as a primary source of transportation! It's Gary's bus now. 

Gary also had a vw bus at the time. His was a 65 white bus. We were twins.
