i am pretty sure our female dwarf hamster is pregnant. i am psychic about these things. not only that, but she is a big round ball of fat. maybe i am feeding them too much.
saturday was a 15 mile bike ride around manhattan, down to the acupuncturist, then a lunch of pho on grand street. on the way home i stopped in at deitch projects and took in the three enormous Haring murals, all done with ink and brush. that's all. thick black ink and a fat brush. they were beautiful and simple, with angular bodies morphing into streets morphing into snakes. mickey mouse mutants lording over frantic figures, bursting with line and action.
whenever i look at art i always see the action of the artist within. here the marks are so alive with drips and pure line, it is hard for me to believe the artist is long dead of AIDS. they look as if they were painted yesterday.
art makes you immortal. the action of making art is continually alive long after you are gone. i think of this often. it makes me humble.
