I have a new love, and it is podcasts. Yes, I know I'm about five or so years behind but I finally jumped on the train due to the fact that I cannot seem to get any decent radio stations on my shitty, yet beloved stereo.

I found out the P.S.1 has a podcast and have been listening to feminist artists for the past hour. It's amazing. I cannot tell you how much better listening to these women speak has made me feel.

Also, if you are in NY visit P.S.1, it is amazing. I went there for the first time during my last trip and was blown away. It is by far my favorite museum to stumble around. While I was there I also checked out The New Museum to see *drool* Mary Heilmann and *slight snore* Elizabeth Peyton. Don't get me wrong, Peyton is fucking amazing and her androgynous paintings beautiful but after ten of them I'm kind of left.....being bored. I know, I'm a terrible painter. (Also Chris Kattan was at the museum on a Friday night with some young thing).


Here is Heilmann:

I do love this one:



Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Yeah, Peyton would hold my attnetion longer if the work did not have the same aesthetic as Hockney and a whole bunch of people in that vain. It ends up reading as bored middle school magic marker art after too many of them. If the content were not interesting, I think it wouldn't work at all. Then again, my preference is not content heavy at all.

Screen printing is pretty simple. If you don't get to it while in school, just get a kit and teach yourself later. Best advice someone gave me was to get a small light table. I did, and the results are now consistent so I can concentrate on more artistic things instead of sweating the technical side.

Thanks for the encouragement.
