my name is brad... if you can read the text in the painting you will laugh.,,,, this has been one of my fav paintings for years now.......
So i went to NYC a few weekends ago and stayed about 10 days. i had originally planned to stay the weekend.
So i went to MOMA (kippenburger and hsieh exhibits) , the Armory show, Pulse, a friends art opening in the lower west side, an art party for an artist i use to assist for, and non art things. I got to hang out with some friends i hadn't seen in sometime. It was rad. i went to coney island in the snow to see what was gone of Astroland. i feel down and went boom on the boardwalk in the snow...hahaha.... i spent way too much money and being there really made me want to stay.......

the pics of the moma are up.... will put up pics of coney island in a day or so.....
i got to eat a wild ginger and other rad vegan places. i really think i would almost be vegan if i lived in nyc. The only thing that would get me is the pizza.
The only bad thing that happened was a pair of my shoes made my foot bleed one day... oh yeah and i almost past out at a party cause i hadn't eaten and i slammed 2 beers and had to leave (i never drink too).....
so the whole trip made me start thinking.... Why the fuck did i give up art since i moved back home?? The whole time i was up there i was visual and activly stimulated. I'm working on 5 pieces now cause of the mental kick start it sent me into. So needless to say.... because of this trip and talking to my friends there..... i'm going to spend a few months there in the summer, then i'm applying to grad school next december. I somehow got out of the crazy debt i'm in.... (long story) i ran into luck...... i have enough money saved up to spend a month or so there this summer even if i can' find a job.....
oh yeah... i think this is the ghostbuster's firehouse....
So I'm thinking this open your eyes to return to the way things were. Get you back into art.
