texas firehouse, nyc

went to new york to install some work at the texas firehouse gallery / art space in queens.

stayed at this oasis in brooklyn amidst a virtual sea of shit. thanks michael and dana.

new york hate.

made up for it a couple hundred times over..

with things i haven't done in some time..

and other things contradictory to previous posts.

didn't do anything on the street otherwise. hung the show. not many pictures. didn't stick around for the opening.

bought some records: nadja, tusk, earth, trapped under ice, merauder, sub zero, pleasure forever, black tusk, baroness, etc. visited cooper union. ate food. hung out with high chief.

flew home.

thanks robert and ken and all at the firehouse.

these three

finished these new prints in early june but never got them up here. except for one that was in a picture from some shit on the streets. here's the stats:

untitled. numbered edition of 44. acrylic on newsprint 24"x36".

fimbulvetr. numbered edition of 35. acrylic on newsprint 18"x24".

warehouse. numbered edition of 35. acrylic on newsprint 18"x24".

current television

the piece PR!MO did for current television / current.com finally went on the air. or a slightly re-edited version. changed to mostly showcase aerosol warfare, but give up still sneaks in. GIVE UP on tv? fuck.

i don't know the air dates or schedule, but check the current site or just watch cable all day and maybe it will come up.
to see the original version of the video check out the april 2008 section of the blog under the title 'video'.
thanks again PR!MO.

the road to nowhere leads to me

is that how the song goes? lost my constitution and drive in brooklyn. about a week into 22 dates with fight pretty and she rides. spent my time behind wheels and merch tables across the country enough times over. paid my dues in vans and unloading trailers. obligation and guilt aren't feelings i choose to invest any time in. best of luck on the rest of the ride guys.
threw these posters together last minute before striking out. pretty fucked up really. didn't have time to arrange the photos myself, so the images are stills from richard kern's "hardcore: volume 1". should have never made them. don't appropriate other peoples' art for your own benefit or design. shows a real lack of integrity. printed i think 45. check the availability on remaining dates of the tour at myspace.com/fightpretty. i didn't keep any.

stickers and stencils. bathroom mirror scribes. no matter how many or in what city aren't worth documentation. drinking nyquil from fingertips. going snowblind raging until noon. topless barely legals passed out on dirty warehouse couches. all have been seen 100 times over on other blogs way hipper than this. returntothepit.com has live photos of the show in providence better than any i could be capable of.


the high chief practice space in brooklyn. not the she rides/daughters/chinese stars practice space in rhode island.

nick's cool german shepherd drawing.

lack of real productivity or realization on tour forced me out once i got back home.


ryan hooked it up.

back to new york in a week or so for my installation at the firehouse. the address is in the previous post. or texasfirehouse.org. the show is called 'repetition' and opens on the 28th. come by if you're in area. maybe some better pics next time around.

woke up disappointed

been working a some new pieces/prints for the upcoming 'repetition' show at the texas firehouse. show opens june 28th. if you're in the nyc area come by. drinks and music and shit.
