i'm so cold and tired where did the last blog end?
what of the endless number of holiday parties was it?
which of the times ive been wasted in the past two weeks was it?

i feel like this

at least there are more studio visits to keep me active

this is eric parker's studio


these works are bound for...brussels was it?




ooo painted sides


it sounds weird but the works really came alive when he put on these afrobeat records

go to whatever site has things like that and put something on when you look at this


i promise!

so i was so in my own world that i didnt even hear it was going to snow and just walked outside one afternoon and was like what  the  fuck


its great to be suprised by snow~!

i went back inside and finished this bad boy
do you like it???

oops maybe i posted this already tho...
did i?
whatever

gettin hectic out there!

eeee!

rosson came over and we braved the elements to go to Scott Campbell's holiday party

i stopped to take a photo before i helped her
does that mean im going to burn in hell?

penthouse view

watching the wind whip around the whatever-eth floor of the smythe hotel was pretty awesome

ladies

bums

agyness deyn and matt dillon and phillip seymour hoffman were there (not pictured)

some weird LA band played
scott didnt even know what was going on at his own party

then mark ronson djed thank god because we were about to leave

there were lots of weird celebrities there and like no art people except for nate and hannah
its funny how out of my element i feel when out of the safe art world crowd


rosson thinks ronson is cute

just as we got into the subway this guy barfed this stiff pile and then staggered away. i think he saw me take a picture of his barf. i wonder how that made him feel


i see you!

sigh

the walk home is always the least fun part





just me
in my elevator in my needlessly fancy building

good morning!

boy Patrick would have loved the dog park today



he was shy and weirded out by the snow and didnt want to fetch


quick enjoy the snow before it turns black and gross!

ooOOOo now im in rosson's studio at 102 N 1st deitch
a sneak peak at her in a sec

first we go to suzanne's holiday party!

fun with her art collection

yum


awesome

flosson

her boyfriend and some friends played some impromptu music and the lady was really funny and i wish they had played all night!

sneak peak
is it annoying that i am spelling it like that now?

adam dugas is in there somewhere

now we are at
oooo
look at my PBR

ooo autolevels
now we are at .. it starts with a T.... Tundra? no whatever that bar Sarah Foster works at sometimes around the corner from Jules' building in bushwich

TUNDRA WHAT THE FUCK IS ITS NAME now im pissed off

um i guess this is the next day?

i am a painting machine and am almost done with THIS one too!

the forehead eye area i havent finished is the best part. its all bold orange video lines. you will see. yay!

now is a good place for some rosson sneak peeeeek real fast!


is that.... the NEST show????

Friday, December 18, 2009 
the occhiombra does not in any way interfere with the wearing of spectacles

this photo makes me sad

good thing i am so busy doing crap!

small glimpses only

eddie martinez' show is january at zieher smith

i got some sneaky peekies


ive been to so many studios lately!
its the best!

:)

this is a book at Spoonbill Spoonbill made about books

who pooped on the calendar this month stinks!

everyone is complaining THIS YEAR SUCKED or even many magazines THIS DECADE SUCKED and its really not gratifying to hear

i mean, MY year sucked fuck whoever you guys are. 
i feel competitive about the sucky year department and dont wanna hear how bad your year was

if you had a bad year, go tell your mom. if you tell me about it, i will tell you to fuck off

sigh!
it's too early to talk about that stuff anyway we havent even made it through christmas
anyone confused about what to get me see the above

here we are at the dinner for Josh Smith at LIC deitch

the food didnt really match the scene to me
but maybe i dont know much about josh smith and his scene

my pictures are not cool. i was too hungry and cold

..
i know the title of this blog is gross. i almost called it REALGAR AND RED ORPIMENT
i guess put them both together for some fun festive christmas colors

warming fluid?

it was fun though
jeffrey gave a funny speech and then josh gave a funny speech


there are lots more! i will have to take better photos next time

aurel with the angry kale
or angry oak we couldnt decide

le voila

went up to taylor's studio before i left

faces

faces of 2009

this was me this morning walking to work

why do i even say morning anymore? it was the fucking afternoon

this drink was really good

another game of "try to take a photo of jules where he doesnt look scary"

weiners

boy that bar is going to be bummed at us

the next morning i mean afternoon

went to Evan Gruzis' studio
what a subway stop!

its beautiful

many smells along the way

art!

evan is preparing for a solo show with Andreas Melas in greece!



i wont spoil it but there were lots of exciting things in progress andreas!


weird white things

weird white things

dont know where to stick this photo except here with the weird white things
what a puzzling contraption

this is somewhere in carrol gardens where evan took me for food
and this punch that was really really good

the food was awesome too

cutey peach! this is what got my mind thinking about new years i think

this is what i picture the golden bowl from The Golden Bowl looking like inside

their dog Merv is really cute

which reminds me:

"The film caused a minor controversy when Griffin shared an open-mouthed kiss with Kathryn Grayson. The kiss was a first in Hollywood film history since the introduction of the Production Code in 1934."

barf
one; i was kidding myself. until my wordpress blog looks better i dont want to use it, and i clearly cannot cold turkey putting photos of things in the public domain; i am in too deep
so there

my weekend is not going to look good together but it wasnt good in real life either so that is fine

drank with santa waiting for aurel at the newly opened Lovely Day

went to Spencer Sweeney gavin brown christmas party

saw robert there!

tv baby too

spencer's art was odd

i guess i would say "kippenberger-esque" for lack of a better word

but that is also what lazy reviewers of his shows have said so now i feel lazy too

matt and brain are not lazy



jules and rosson

hot ear lobe

ug where am i now?

oh yeah this thing
nikki took me from GBE to this club by my house where this ex-sex pistol was playing and it was funny

oh man
dont remember this very clearly

what else?

woke up feeling like shit
felt like shit all day
what a lively narrative!

at some bi bim bop with ben

this looks like monday already going to look at Jules' painting for his upcoming show

this is just a detail the whole piece is AWESOME!
and he better name it KATHY or i will cry!

im not supposed to spill the beans

im trying not to spill the beans its hard

here are some tiny tiny beans. placed not spilled.


ok enough!

what a bleak expanse

my new favourite graffiti writer :)

now what day is this? still monday?

stopped by the armory where Kembra has a free studio

finally found a camera setting that goes with the armory
"sunset"



yay!

im so happy with how these came out even though its not so great
if you have seen my failed armory photos over the past i dont know two years then you will feel my triumph

bloomingdales
where am i now?

oh yeah im at Kim Light's house

she had a holiday party/ one night art show
i like this photo
i'll leave you with this
pricked for pouncing!

Friday, December 11, 2009 
i dont wanna do this blog anymore
at least not on myspace and not the way i have been doing it
give me a second to fix things around and we will start a new life together somewhere else i promise

until then hang out with me in the everglades and get a million mosquito bites

this is where i ate lunch and where i was eaten
very hamlet of me
i ran with a cloud of mosquitos chasing me and three of them managed to get into the car with me!

the everglades are a dangerous and unfriendly place

the buzzards know this
this buzzard was eating the snake in the above photo

life and death in harsh conditions

is the world really this unrelenting and cruel?


sorry im feeling philosophical at the moment

philosophy being the only consolation sometimes

the philosophy of the everglades is not terrbly uplifting at teh moment though

if i could only rise above the muck

if only i were an eagret perched on a dwarf cypress

i guess i am about as tall as a dwarf cypress. maybe i just need a bird hat. rosson! one bird hat please

sigh


odd

this guy started crawling up the wall after me i shit you not

so i took a picture and ran away

the walls are not very tall

the walls that seperate normal life from horrible painful morass of shit are not very tall

stay on the path stay on the path



a hunter alone in the wilderness


swamp and glade

i guess glade makes it sound so much better



i dont really have any more philosophy to offer

i could use some



i gotta get out of this swamp

before the buzzards pick my carcass

i have strayed way off the map

my best days are behind me

maybe nothing a free breakfast wont fix

reading about death under a rainbow

burning the shit out of my hide

after me, the deluge


everything seems broken

boy ok enough commentary from me

i went to the botanical gardens to kill more time before my flight

it was totally sucky except for the 200 lizards crawling around everywhere!

i chased lizards for 3 hours
i must have caught about 4 or 5 but they wriggled out of my hand each time
i was too afraid to crush them so they wriggled out

is there a metaphor in there?

or just that people called me "Lenny" after my big growth spurt as a kid?

mice and men

how about just mice men
"of mice men and bodacious babes they are too pathetic for"


ok ok im getting away with myself
as these lizards did from me
sigh!
i just wanted to feel some life in my hands for a sec is that so awful?

airport bars

airport scenes



home to what is that behind the lobby art?
oh no

walking to work in the blaring morning light with a sunburn and freezing

finding a copy of this on my desk

oh brother look at me an nikki!

given what is going on in my life this is like the pinnacle of insult and irony

where reality idealism and perception meet and explode in my face
i hate irony
whatever happened to sincerity?
Friday, December 11, 2009 
i dont know if i have the stamina to do this last one

things in the booth swapped

ack!

fran and the dubossarsky vinogradov looked nice though

i made suzanne take a picture of me to send patrick
huge waste of everyones time
and i look retarded

lets do drinking instead

kehinde's fish fry to celebrate the fair being over!

top chef
i forget his name
he was just on top chef but i dont watch top chef

his catfish was delicious though!

i have to try to take more spunky photos
it is hard to make kenny scharf look bored or boring but i somehow managed to


lots of dancing

lots of conspiring

the pool is just so tempting


sometimes i like blurry photos

david lachapelles butt
he is a good dancer btw

too muchness

andrea talking nikki and tanya who NEVER do this sorta thing into coming in the pool with us

yes!!!!

andrea in an oversized high chair in the Delano bathroom

last night of Le Baron thank goodness because they annoy the fuck out of me

tanya is a great dancer too

this THIS is what rosson's dress look liked!!!!
i swear!!!

everyone left and im at the hotel all alone

these guys hung out with me every morning

the beach is great i mean no complaints but it was a long time with no one to talk to

i went a bit batty maybe

i spent my last day in the everglades
which i guess i will have to make a new post as this one drags on too long

Friday, December 11, 2009 
im knocked down so im going to drag out the blogging to keep my fingers busy

this is barry's mural for the Wynwood walls

oh shit

i had to sit outside the clemente for ten minutes while the rain splloshed


ooOOoo

looks much better here than before actually!

grabbed nikki from there as the clouds parted



the os one was a little weird

kenny scharf

futura

that other dude

sigh! as much as i hate to admit it, whatever you call what he made made a pretty great "mural"
right?

oo
marty cooper making of photos





lets tag!


oo jim looks cute

what is ara doing you ask?

he and jim made this!
its so confusing
it is suzanne's favourite

there was a little interior show too

kind of random

this looked really good there



ok more murals:

the girl who was kicked outta FAILE

Stelios Faitakis



pretty technically neat but then kinda Juxtaposey i dont know

clare

the setting is pretty great
adding some new artists next year!

right around the corner is a restaurant Joey's where nikki and i had the best italian food

there are so many great handpainted signs around miami
i wanted to take photos of them all for pat but most places i couldnt get outta the car
or was too lazy

im sure i did somethin between eating lunch and eating dinner but my camera says otherwise!

i had conch stew at Tap Tap
my favourite!

everyone else ordered these gruesome fishes!

aurel did too of course



there are little lights at the bottom of the pool to make it look like stars

so! the BEST BEST night i had out i ddint have my camera at all so it has POOF disappeared
but it included going to the V magazine roof party, someone sharing their e with me, going to the basement of the delano 
and dancing
going to the standard late and jumpin in their pool, and then who knows. at some point the sun came up but no one cared

rosson was wearing the coolest dress that night too
dammmmitttt!!!!

the beach looks gross with autolevels

so im gonna end this post
its over

rurality
suburbanity
it's early and my tote bag is dirty


this! more on this in a sec


festivus


rosson opens her show in Paris tonight!
i don't know how we will get to see it
we will wait patiently for the internet to be updated with it


jeffrey kept trying to make her laugh so the picture would be better. he was very sure that the picture would be boring unless she was laughing in it. which is funny i guess!


rosson has moved into williamsburg deitch studios! she has marked her territory
not with pee


territory markus


i spit on this so rosson would not eat my salad at Diner


willie HAS peed all over her new back yard to mark it as his territory


guess what?
willie doubles as a hat


hold still stupid hat!




guess what? willie doubles as a vagina dentata


on that note i should probably go to DC


it was my dad's birthday weekend
so union station was putting up all these big wreaths for him


suburbanity. these colors dont come in new york


tennis! if only i could play tennis in new york there would be literally no reason to ever leave


i made billy go play at night with me too
that's how much tennis i wanted to play


nikki my only high school friend invited me over for champagne!
not quite as visually stunning as the pineapple upside down cake was on this table but still great
she taught my brother how to use Pandora

suburbanity


we bought my dad an orchid


my brother made breakfast that looked like his sweater


suburbanity
if i keep saying it it becomes a word




i bought my dad this yellow sweater kind of as a joke; in imperial china you didn't get to wear yellow because it was the emperor's color. until you turned 80 when you officially could. yay dad!


my mom made me print these out at Kinkos for her to cover the peeling paint and plaster patch on the wall

which pretty much sums up her perspective on art

just kiddding


old people party
the really old dude talking to my dad worked with him on nuclear weapons crap and helped take care of his first batch of kids from when he was in his 20s. in the 20s! just kidding. in the 40s i think


whenever my mom kisses my dad in public he pretends he doesnt like it and flails around and says "yuck!"


look at all this extended graysonism
absonism?
graysonism


suburbanity

ok ok ill stop


i got to go to the best PHO in DC again (which is in VA actually)


i got to go blacklight bowling


my mom seems to have taken a picture of me doing it


sighhhhhh
you have to picture this place also as being full of "bethesda singles" which are a unique brand of ick, and BLASTING literally shaking the seats Lady Gaga and then like Nickelback or i dont even know the right names for the kind of music my goodness and everything being black-light


oh and the huge TV screens everywhere
sighhhhhh


my mom freaked out because john (dad's youngest of the first three sons young kid) wasnt around when the leaf thing snuffled up the leaves he had raked so she went out into the street to take a picture of it for him

"de gustibus non est disputandum"


if you were about to throw up from how ugly and banal suburbanity can be, try on this RURALITY!


if it doesnt soothe your soul down to your socks you might be short one soul


billy was the victim of a brutal seed dispersal


ahhhhhhhhhhh


ah environmentalist jokes


billy told me i was so lazy that i probably had EPIPHYTES do you get it?


is my brother not witty and suburbane?
look how rainy and slimy it was the whole rest of the time
no more tennis for kathy
no tennis and all family make kathy go...


i ate some muscular feet at my dad's favourite seafood place, Crisfields


we played mini-golf at this bar in South East
a sort of scultor-manqué's little shop of nightlife horror


it was DC themed
ah DC! fun-ish without a shred of cool. selfconscious and strivingly uncool. doomed, for me at least.
there is not one thing about DC that is effortless
is i guess how i would describe it


finally thanksgivin
GOB get me outta here!


i cant be around any more j crew necks


i know i know don't be a butt
i love seeing my parents and silly brother and i love how funny the 80th birthday was
but i do not like suburbanitas or rusticus, to use the latin. i like the nine popes URBAN!


patrick painted that mural
that was why he got no thanksgiving this year
poor pat!
and look it has made him deranged
ür-banity

someone get that pup a tofurkey and i mean quick!


i'll take this lot over a suburban forest any day
