The Golden Gate bridge is garbage, the thinker has Chihuly on the brain, and the ticky tacky boxes along the pacific road all look just the same...



As is probably already painfully obvious to you at this point, I spent my day in San Francisco. Its incredible how cold it was considering that we are in the middle of August. I caught a really pesky cold that just won't leave me...

Anyway, I hope you like the pictures.
More coming up soon...

All the best,

This slide show is composed of photos taken during my stay in Hot Springs Arkansas for the opening of my exhibition "Digital Zion" at the Gallery @404B.

Nearly all these pictures were taken by Chuck Dodson's friends whom I THANK FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
for their friendship and hospitality.

The captions are humorous. If you are offended let me know and I'll make amends - my intention is exactly the opposite.

All the best and thank you for coming to Digital Zion@404B.
I hope get to see ya'll again soon.

 I'm wondering what music to play at the opening night of Digital Zion @404B.
These are the kinds of ideas i had:
something gritty,
something dark and mystical,
visit electronica and maybe pick it up some,
we could visit the middle east...
there are so many options,
classical is great too.

Whaddya think?

if you have any friends near Arkansas please let'em know I is Coming

Yesterday my print "72 Virgins" was on display at the Cannibal Flower show at the Infusion gallery in Los Angeles. Here are the first impressions, as reported by Heidi, my art's representative in the States:

    "…

    Dear Mike,

    It was great!!! I have loads to tell you but I am on 3 hours of sleep.

    First off all,
    I have to say that they put the painting in the 1st placement space. Everyone who walked in the front door saw it first thing.

    I met personally Shahid and LC who are both gallery owners, one at Think Space and the other at the Grind. I gave both of them my card and I gave my card and a CD to the owner of the Hive Gallery next door.

    A lot of people liked the painting, but most importantly the gallery owners, who see billions of artists a day, loved the piece and would love to see more.

    I am going to go by a lot of galleries tomorrow. I have more to write you but got to run,

    Talk to you later
    Heidi

The Cannibal Flower Show" is a monthly event that has ben going on since 2000. The show mentioned here took place at "The Infusion Gallery", in down town, Los Angeles.

Cannibal Flower events are really funky gatherings bringing together art, music, culture, and a whole lot of cool...

See this youtube to get an idea of what to expect..

This is a portrait of a young Israeli man. It is reminiscent of 60-70s pop art in its feel and look but was created digitally and should be counted as Digital Art.

This is an interview I gave Odelia Dahan of Israel's "HOT channel 3".

She interviewed me a couple of weeks after the opening of my pop-art giclee print exhibition - "Digital Zion". My warm thanks go to Odelia and Eli for their intelligent interviewing and for the effort they made to make this a pleasant experience for me

Aah Practicality,
Light of the Age!
Demands that the muses be put in a cage.
Down with the poets, the actors on stage!
Lock up writers, musicians – they're no longer the rage…

Lets forbid foreplay!
Make lovemaking a sin!
It's mating we need,
to breed more of our kin.
Practical youth obedient, subdued.
Enjoying sex?
How wasteful and rude!

Not me, not I -
Practicality sucks.
It's not even useful for making big bucks.
The Hermit, the Genius, the Artist, the One,
rarely seek practicality – they're just looking for FUN!
