the following was copied from my myspace blog that i published over there just a few minutes ago…
As the days grow nearer to the June 1st deadline, I’m feeling pretty right on schedule and pleased. I’m feeling like i can get this residency. Here’s my progress as I wait for things to dry. Also note, I’m using the 3 images from the painted doors at Catharine Clark Gallery in my portfolio as well. I feel good how it’s all going to tie together.
American Slot Series: SILVER. (FINISHED a couple weeks ago. Thinking about you know who.)
Stack of finished art for the portfolio and a solo show. Yea!
The Philosophy of a Cartoon

“Pequeña” Cartoon Study Color Pencil on Colored Paper 2005
The cartoon is the new figurative. It is more unique than any other type of figure because it has the potential to exist in two realms at the same time. In one realm, it is created subconsciously: doodling, noodling until it forms into something. This subconscious way of drawing, is Ancient and leads to supernatural imagination.

The second realm is mathematical because it is based on proportions. Proportions are formulas and techniques that require conscious thinking. Conscious thinking is Classical and it leads to a realistic imagination.

here’s an except (plus a little extra) from a message that i wrote to crisaida 5.2.07…
“Catharine Clark asked me to paint her roll down doors on her new gallery at 150 minna (directly across from the messenger drop off entrance for the moma on minna) on monday in an email… but i didn’t actually talk to her till yesterday. i went down to meet her at 49 geary yesterday afternoon and we walked over to the new space. she gave me 100 bucks for supplies. i bought some paint. i came home ate dinner, changed clothes, and got all my stuff together and painted all night (began at 8:30 pm, went home @ 12:30 pm & took an hour and a half break and then went back to finish… got home at 4:45 am)… 2 roll down doors. she wanted them done right away for this moma hotsey totsey event going on tonight. santana is playing and they have a tent outside in the minna alley right next to my graffiti. it’s cool. it’s like a dialog between my graf and the moma. someone walking by said i was painting tomato soup in a can and i was really happy cuz they were comparing me to warhol. i was thinking about warhol when i did it. it goes big dice, js throw up, big dice, js throw up, with dots and tags in the background. the dots are stenciled and on the dice are stenciled hearts. i totally pulled it out of my ass cuz i had no time to plan. it was really like doing real graffiti cuz it’s like polished throw ups and it was so spontaneous, except for the permission part.”
here’s the pics…
next came champagne at the gallery and the party at the moma last night. i’ve never drank so much champagne… and good champagne at that. For all of you in SF, go see my doors sooner rather than later. they’re only temporary. they should be up thru May 14th or sometime afterward, until she replaces the roll down doors with glass windows, so that the gallery will look like a real storefront when it opens in June 2.
