definately a hess fan. i was going to buy his "superpredators" print but it sold out from under me. roq la rue r.i.p. it actually inspired the "toothy girl" design i did.
i"ve never had a job producing art. sick but true. there's a bit of a story to it,....not terribly interesting, but significant none the less.
so, about these beers.....?
freckle:

Yeah ... I knew the ice hotel was somewhereabouts up there in scandinavia. ;-)
I've seen some photos of the inside actually ... looks pretty sweet, except the beds look like a few sheets on an underlit ice block. Not sure how that works exactly, comfortwise.

i am:

molten and yellowing
chock-filled with dumb luck
sticky in places i should be dry
most alive where i'm bruised
trying to love what's not in bloom
pretending to know things i have no idea about
haphazard and cracked
blindly hopeful and jaded
fat with passion
ungracefully orchestrated and layered with scar
sadly moralized by the negative
mostly unbelievable
sick of flossing
happily remote...

all you have to do to get in the seattle group is come to something! easy!

that's all the group is really for anyways. so if you don't like/can't come to stuff... being a member ain't gonna do you any good.
freckle:
that's fine. just show up sometime if you can make it.

hey. i swear i'm going to send you these disks. i've been really broke as of late. not 'poverty chic' broke but more like 'i'm hungry' broke. paydays tomorrow. soon.

painting bikes is a new thing for me, but a long time coming. i started with the airbrushe in the 7th grade but haven't been at it much in the last couple years. i've been focusing my attention on the computer. i do 'conceptual illustration' . like 'not for kids, kids stuff'.

i checked out some of you photos. nice work. we'll have to get on some time, knock a couple back.

the pacific coast highway between san francisco and seattle is at times: beautiful, unforgiving, inspiring, infuriating, hope-giving and gut-wrenchingly bittersweet. 10 days and some 2500 miles later i've returned and feel a bit shellshocked-- surprised and somewhat defeated to be back where i started, still yearning for the escape of mileage between me and what's past.

Here's a silly useless story, but I'm sure you can appreciate it. I was rooting around through some old crap (I found one of those boxes of buried treasure in my folks' house)... and I found the button I got at a Kyuss gig in 1992. It says, Kyuss is God. Funny, because I never doubted that at the time, and all these years later, I am still a firm believer in the power of a meaty guitar.
And now, I must go listen to Monster Magnet, Spine of God, because I haven't in a really, really long time, and I need to reconnect with my not-so-inner stoner. surreal It's been a looooon day.

hope you're taking lots of gorgeous photos, listening to lots of good music, and connecting.

saturday I looked at an artist's live/work loft in south seattle amongst the ruins of the industrial giants. in the building are woodworkers, painters, glassblowers, designers and photographers.

all the artistic inspiration has led to the start of multiple projects: massive drawings, photographic explorations, long-overdue framing projects

diamond sake in the gullet, apple and fennel salad on the way.
cozybear:
I'm in vancouver, bc =)

Ugh! Friend me! I really enjoyed your comments in my journal, and as I peruse your profile and your own journal I'm seeing loads of stuff we are both into. The first one being...I just got studio space in Toronto in an historic district that was a derelict film haven until a few months ago when a developer bought the entire property (there are dozens of buildings -- it's like a turn of the century industrial village!) and are now renovating it for use as a retail/artist/gallery/swank spot. Artscape (the non-profit arts organization, I'm sure they're in the US as well) leased an entire building and my business partner and I got a retail/work studio spot on the ground floor. We also invited a glass artist who makes insane flame worked beads and jewellery to share the space (we're called Fishbowl Studio), and we're just now in the process of building the interior... finished the heavy duty reno's last week (*whew!*). There's a whole bevy of artists in the building, including furniture makers, textile and fibre artists, another goldsmith (who I went to school with and he's such a straight laced dud -- fucking painted his hundred year old plus cool concrete floor with grey flat paint and then RAG ROLLED on top of it. If that doesn't just sum it all up, I don't know what does. Sheesh.) anyhow, it's going to be awesome! My partner's hubby is an industrial designer so he's designed the interior (with our very anal retentive input) and we're creating the most amazing atmosphere, using aspects of the historic distillery and our love of good modern design. It's not a live/work space though, I still need to find a place to live next month as I'm about an hour outside of Toronto at the moment. (moved back in with the 'rents to get my shit together, you know, divorce crap.)

Eeek, I feel like I've made a total ass of myself with my verbal diarrhea here, but I think you "get it". Diarrhea back on me! Tell me all about what it is YOU do...

And, ah, your compliments on my photo are sooooo incredible, I'm completely flattered and in awe of that vibe you describe those ladies with. Thank you.
