The Caravan 07: Weekend Report

Good things are happening over here.  I just received word that one of pieces is going to be used in a psychology text book.  This excites me to no end as I absolutely adored studying abnormal psychology when I was in school.  I've always thought my art worked really well with it.  I'm also getting small art pieces together for a show that I'll be part of next month in CA.  I'm really inspired right now by the work of Bob Coulter who's party I attended on Friday.  Bob's website is filled with amazing photographs.  You can find his work here (NSFW).  In the same night I was lucky enough to catch the Royal Flush film festival & release party where my friend Jeremy Berger showed his short film The Van and stayed for Abraham Obama featuring the art of Ron English.  Ron was lovely and gave me neat smiley stickers. See, It doesn't take much to make me happy, just smiley stickers, and films, and after parties.  Not much at all.

P.S. Jeremy has promised me (I may or may not have forced him to do this) a reel of his film for people to have a little peek at.  When it falls into my hands I will post it up.

Constellation 02: Reverend Billy & Other Acts of Bloggery

Wednesday Sherene, Tet, and I headed over to Dom's place in the Village for a benefit for Reverend Billy's Mayoral campaign.  We first wrote about this in our Leo/Virgo issue back in August.  Sherene wrote about it on the Constellation blog which you can check out here.  We also have a new tarot of the week, featured artist, and Caitlin R. Kiernan comes to NYC for a Lovecraft Unbound reading.

En Gypsy Couture 02: Gifts

Sherene just got back from India and brought me this awesome Kali doll.  For those of you who don't know Kali, she is the Hindu Goddess of destruction as well as the Dark mother.  Kali clears the path of negativity and obstacles so your path may remain clear.  She is also considered the Goddess of time and change.  Kali came home to me Wednesday evening and life has been incredible since her arrival. 

I also received Minutiae yesterday which I did a little write-up on.  You can check out that write up on the Knickerbocker Circus blog here

Pimp My Artwork 04: King of Wands

The King of Wands represents life and creativity.  He is a strong businessman and an idea genius.  He is loyal to those he trusts and  a dynamic, "fiery", creative, strong person. This person is a born leader and can be a wise, caring, and a good role model. This type of person never just goes with the flow, but always embarks on a strong and direct course of action.

The Caravan 07: Swimming Cities: Ass Don't Tell Party

Good morning my little booty lovers.  As you may know I'm part of an artist collective called Swimming Cities

Swimming Cities is a diverse and evolving collaboration of artists,builders, and visionaries who come together each year to embark on a challenging large-scale project. Originally united through our common friendship and talent by the international artist Swoon, the group traces its roots back to the DIY raft project on the Mississippi River, the "Miss Rockaway Armada". Taking a new waterway each year, the project creates a vivid community of artists floating into towns to present an inspiring, interactive environment that encompasses art, sculpture, music and performance. Each year the Swimming Cities conceives new rafts and builds them with mostlyfound materials in an organic design process. The multi-layered anduncommon talents of our members inspire us to continuously lookfor new ways to materialize our style of unique living art. For more information go to the Swimming Cities website.

Swimming Cities will be hosting a party to raise money for our collaborative boat project in India.  This parties theme is "Ass Don't Tell" and will be celebrating the glorious roundness of a well shaped booty.  Unfortuantely I won't be able to make this party but there will be awesome dances in booty shorts, booties on the walls, good beats, and silk screening.  Of course all of this will happen at The House of Yes
