Saving Valentina

A new Renaissance Man * Grayson Perry  -  fantastic potter, brilliant thinker and utterly unusual fashion divanista.  I read somewhere that the stars are aligned similar now to what they were at the high Renaissance.  I've been looking for the current stars among the millions of artists - by George I've found one.

2012

Hey before January is over I'd like to wish everybody an excellent 2012.  May it be all that it's cracked up to be.  Stay alert!

Shrine Making

Here's a little shrine I made a few years back for my friend.  I tied copies of every friend I met at his house, put them in zip locks and tied them to this tree in his garden - all waving goodbye in the wind.

Garden Murals

This is my design for a garden terrace in Hillcrest.  I pretty much have sold her on the window frame elements: the arch is a long shot - and the tiger.

Imagine tea here with your friends.  A taste of Versailles with cakes and music.  

Very little gets done these days as no one wants to spend money - especially on the arts. 

My friend just sold a $4000 painting for $600.  I worry about her throwing herself off a bridge.  A beautiful bridge would be in Balboa Park but who wants to die in lanes of traffic. 

I know an artist from the dog park who drove his dogs to Tuscon and then did himself in with a gun.  

I'm too excited to see the outcome of all the 2012 hoopla.  It's hard to make plans beyond that.

RED SAILS INN on Shelter Island

Just completed yesterday with shots of Sambucco chilled at the bar after loading the equipment.  Great food and patio dining and huge credit to share with my friends who have been looking out for me over the years.  

A chance encounter with Dennis Conner and we will be working together next week on a project at his new gallery at the end of the point.  I said we should do a commemorative mural of The Americas Cup.  He said nobody is interested anymore.  His assistant was polishing up his trophy and I thought I'd really like to find a wall five stories high at least and paint that thing.  Anybody that knows me from school days knows I can do killer chrome.  Is it illegal to post a wanted ad soliciting donations for such a project?  I asked the folks at the Port District if I could hit them up for funding for my brilliant ideas and they said NO.  It's got to be their idea, their organized competition, their jury who trashes 99% of the submittals.  No ART beggars nocking at their illustrious doors.  Think of how beautiful this City could be if I could have my way with it.
