OKAY OKAY! We are here, in balmy balmer...things are taking shape…we found a good liquor store! AND, thus far we have witnessed two black helicopters flying around our house for two hours shining lights in our windows, lotsa poor black people, lotsa white rich people, and one dead guy.

IT"S A GOOD THING art school is an ego bubble, or else I might high tail it the hell outaa here.... BUT seriously, Baltimore is growing on me. It’s like a sad drunk old man who loves his wife and used to be really good and chess but just can't seem to get his shit together. AND, it’s inspiring. You want to help it with your art, even though you know art isn’t food and you’re just going back to Pleasantville to live in harmony and disillusionment.

Last night we saw some East Coast art at a place called the creative alliance (creativealliance.org). It's was pretty crappy, but they had free beer so I didn't complain...plus, it makes for easy competition. I haven't really made or shown anything yet so there's not much to talk about. I've basically been working and figuring out my schedule and how to get places...oh and learning how to drive the Versa. Why is driving a stick and using a Mac so fucking annoying.

Here's a recent self-portrait. I'll be back soon with work and news and peace and love.



ttfn,
