What I’m working on
Or–avoiding working on today. Well, I’m think about it, even if I’m not physically working on it.
I think i’ve been convinced to leave it like this, and do an edition. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow. 😀

Johnny Cash Remixed
Her’s something coolio. Remixes of some classic J.C tunes. Some beats added, and rearrangements, and etc. The album is out today, and you can stream the tunes on the site.
I’m not a big fan of Damien Hirst
as some readers may know. (and some may not) I think his work is insipid, and degrades art and the value of art.
Which is why I think this piece is funny:
4 the Love of Gold–Euginio Merino (click on pic for his website) “Damien Hirst suicides so that the value of his work will increase…”
PS The skull on the T-shirt is Hirst’s “4 the love of God” sculpture.

Nothing is original…
A quote from Jim Jarmusch, done up pretty.
This is a what the heck is he up to post
I see I haven’t been blogging as much as I ‘d like (even though I am doing better than my 101 in 1001 goal.), so I thought I post a catching up post.
So, what have I been doing? In addition to working, and regular chores, and, today, watching it snow, I’ve been:
- Working on my Everyone We Know book.
- Finished another painting in my Black Flag series.
- Started prepping panels for something.
- Working on some silkscreen prints.
- Working on a linocut.
- Getting stuff together for a relief printing press. (Hope to have it built this week.)
- Working on the bathroom some. Got the walls–mostly–patched.
- Reading Robert Hughes book of essays Nothing if not Critical.
- More…
Andrew Wyeth Dies
Andrew Wyeth, Painter, Dies at 91 – NYTimes.com
He died early this morning. Nothing on his website yet, but I’m sure there will be more news about this later.
Thinking about
Marcel Duchamp (the dadda of Dada) today. (Which reminds me of Beatrice Wood–Mama of Dada, who I’ve mentioned here before.) Especially this work:
Mostly because I watched a documentary called Painters Painting which is about modern, abstract art, and some of the artists mention Duchamp as an influence, or at least someone who interested them (Rauschenberg and Johns in particular).
Now, I’m thinking of doing a couple of screenprints based on his bicycle Wheel (above). I’ve got one pretty well worked out.
