Happy Halloween

Last night we launched our new Rowan Morrison book, SCARECROW by Oakland artist John Casey.  What fun!  I'm proud of Pete and John and Paul, but I'm especially proud of my sparkly banner - the letters are freehand dude.




Mary's shirt matched John's art.


Some chick took a picture of her thighs.  

On to last week - the MIND party:






Great sound,  double kegger,  missed connections...





Old Paul Wonner


New(er) Paul Wonner. Both were at Berggruen for Wonner's memorial show where I shook hands with Theophilus Brown (lucky day, but a bittersweet one too).


The abstraction and paint handling of this carpet is insane!  
(name of painting escapes me, but I think it's either 17th or 18th century and is at the Legion of Honor)

my favorite shoe-maker, Twenty Two Shoes, saw the end of days this month.  Apocalyptic to say the least.  Above is my collection that I've amassed over the last three years will cling to forever.



Now we're off to Boston to celebrate the illustrious nuptuals of Julia Lamenzo (my sister) and James Fox.

Other things on the agenda to keep me away from obsessing over one of the biggest elections in history (o b a m a) include visiting the Ware Collection of Glass Flowers and Marine Invertebrates at the Harvard Natural History Museum, Bard College tour, Elizabeth Peyton and Mary Heilman at the New Museum in Manhattan, visiting my mother-in-Law in CT, and having lots of fun too.

converging lines of color need to fuck off and DIE!

Painters in the Movies

This morning, in a quick search for artist biopics I came across this fun quiz at The Guardian UK

I failed the quiz though...
