Street Art Spring-Stylin

Haven't done a Street Art Blog in awhile--
The first stencil tag is from Dupont Circle near Whole Foods--a petition to make DC the 51st state.
The second is in the Dupont Circle Metro on a emergency post box--it's a Shepard Fairey sticker tag--the standard Obey with Andre the Giant :) I love the placement next to the word HELP...it made me giggle.
The third is less a tag and more an Advert that made me giggle also--it was for the Black Cat--and like many tear-strip-for-number ads, as you tear, you lose the lower half--but on this one, as it is a cute face, he loses alllll his teeth...wah wah.
How sad.

Watch Subprime TV: See Prime Art

My work can be seen on the Real World DC now...it has been on for awhile now..but the brain rot has been such that I haven't been able to watch too much for too long a period of time to hop up and down and shout--"BINGO!" every time a corner of a painting appears on screen...
The first piece is barely visible in the "music room" or as I like to refer to it as, "the room where music went to die a slow and painful death."
The second piece can be seen in the "game room" adjacent to "hot tub", also known as "room where drunk fights ensue which leads to area where drunk makeouts and sperm spawn..."
The third piece, and probably the only actually visible work of art I have there is in the stairwell...I like to refer to that as a drunk Real Worlders worst nightmare.
So there is my brief synopsis of the show...
Not really...just have to laugh when I watch and see my work as the background for frathouse shenanigans...

Snow.

It continues to snow here. I haven't seen a whiteout like this since I was little. I used to dream of blizzards like this when I was a kid because I wanted to get out of school. I blame my fascination of snow on movies like White Christmas which taught me that all the magic of holidays came from a soft blanket of white covering all the dirt and allowing us to snuggle up indoors...
I share with you the Snow Song. One of Irving Berlin's great masterpieces...it made me want to go sledding and drink cocoa all year long...
I hope it can cheer you up if you're trapped in a snowbank...and get me in the spirit as I do work here and think about trudging back home in the cold.

Marathon *whew*

No....worry not my duckies...I have not started exercising...haha.
By marathon I refer to a Law & Order Criminal Intent Marathon--started on New Years Eve with the latest season working it's way back to season 2 (we haven't made it to season 1 yet...).
I have watched so much now that I have developed a bit of the Goren Lean.
Observe:



I still can't believe Vincent D'Onofrio is going to leave the show. I know that Jeff Goldblum is coming on to take his place--but without "Bobby" there it will be a totally different show. What a wonderful gift he has given us as an actor for the past 8 years. I'm glad to watch the old episodes again and remember some of the really good acting that has been on; as Chris Noth came over from the original show, partners changed, and captains shifted, it's been a fantastic ensemble cast and had superb cameos and stars. Looking forward to seeing what's next.

Billy Returns With Beauty & Light

I can finally say that I truly see Billy Corgan's full genius again. Listen here to his latest masterpieces. Song For A Son is not only a triumphant return to his psychedelic and raw roots, it is like the beautiful sound of an electric can opener turning and letting out the beautiful vocals that Billy has been keeping trapped behind mixers and amps...I am getting a bit weepy now--so I must go and listen to this and wait on baited breath for each new days beautiful musical child.

Halloooooooween!

Good times all with the "Adopted" family. Can you spot the Dave? I'm the Little Dead Riding Hood...minus the hood.
