Wow peoples.\u00a0 I’m really i have let this thing go.\u00a0 So much has happened. so many tears, and so many shamefull mornings waking up with cake in my mouth.<\/p>\n

This will be the beginning of several posts to come updating you all on what i’ve been up to since…this last summer.\u00a0 It will be out of order, it will get messy and greasy, but you will get updated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

o.k. first thing to come to mind.<\/p>\n

Last summer my super great queer photog friend quito zeigler<\/a>\u00a0called me up to get breakfast.\u00a0 Over coffee and amazing breakfast sandwiches at the collossal cafe, we dreamed up the idea of a queer art\/performance road show.\u00a0 In our riffing of ideas,\u00a0Quito\u00a0planted the idea of doing a preliminary\u00a0queer art show in NYC, drawing from the\u00a0excellent pool of artists that quito attended the International Center of Photography with…along other seminal queer artists and activists.\u00a0 The germ was planted…and then many months later Into the Neon<\/a> was born.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, because I am such a terrible blogger, I am telling you this after the show has closed… but for those (like me) who were unable to attend the show regardless, maybe I can compile, and connect you to what happened with the show.<\/p>\n

there wuz photos, there wuz skulpture, there wuz performances, there wuz a big fruit tree.<\/p>\n

and I made the poster, which is a photocollage of the window of a gaybar in milwaukee where jeffrey dahmer used to find some of his victims at, and an old lover’s hand w\/ sharpie drawings on it.<\/p>\n

\"Into-the-Neon_poster\"<\/a><\/p>\n

12” X 20” 5 color silkscreen. $10 if u wanna one<\/p>\n

here’s one of the prints I had in the show.\u00a0 It’s sort of a prototype.\u00a0 I’m going to work with this print a little more, but here’s version 1.<\/p>\n

\"betweenfakeanddead\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“between fake and dead (trixter)” 26” X 30” Screenprint on Foam<\/p>\n

edition of 5.\u00a0 If you want one, contact me.<\/p>\n

This is the first of a series of portrait prints on foam.\u00a0 The goal is to present several portraits of personas, people or characters who’s plastic play with identity acts as a way to order society.\u00a0 This is a portrait of a trixter character whome appears during the Brazilian Carnival celebration.\u00a0 Carnival is a celebration and farewell to bad things, but even during the uplift and celebretory atmosphere of carnival, the trixter’s mischeif making reminds\u00a0parade goers\u00a0of the death and troubles left behind, or will encounter in the near future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The show, INTO THE NEON<\/a>, was great from what I heard. Check the website to see the other amazing artists, and soon there will be photos from the show.<\/p>\n

Some version of the same show will be held in Minneapolis in April.\u00a0 More details about that to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n
