Do one thing
And then
Do another thing

These YouTube videos are amazing!
perfect listening for painting

A short walk around the Met today
gave me a good take away
in my favorite gallery to the left at the top of the stairs
where they have cool prints and drawings
there was a Picasso lino cut
printed in color on black.

I have seen his lino cuts on black
they are always intriquing
the paper comes through hard to make lines
and also mixes with the color interestingly.

I have never seen a multi color one before
and want to try something similar with a screenprint.
it might take a while to get there
a seed got planted in my brain.

The stencils for my DOT Barrier Beautification mural (back in 2011)
look so great I made them available in a gallery

 

What a wonderful weekend at The Bike Cult Show

It was at the amazing  Knockdown Center
it's an old factory complex on a gated 3 acre lot

many of my friends were there with their beautiful bikes

I saw Carl Sorenson who was one of my very first collectors
He got two of my early bicycle paintings in 1997 or 98 or so.
Here's a pic of one of them

A super nice couple who just moved to NYC from Houston
got 3 prints on the Zerkall paper,
it's hard to get the paper tone to look right in a photo
They fit together perfect as a tryptich

Sunday at the end of show
I packed up my trusty cargo bike
and rode home
