hey kids, no images today, but i made it into the paper again, this was a nice q&a given by victoria white. thank you victoria, for a lovely article, and for a nice lunch.

dreams

howdy kids, i know i haven't posted too much, we got rid of our desk, so managing the scanner and the laptop and the printer has gotten a little trickier, but the house is looking much nicer. if any of you readers on oahu haven't gone to see it, get thee gone to the HPU main campus and see my show, Big Hand Blues! its up until November 16 so you have plenty of time to go see it every day. really, you should do it and stop reading this. i have two solo shows coming up next year, one in march at bethel street gallery (old becomes you) and another show at the honolulu academy of art's art center (transformations from dream geography). for that show i have started keeping a more focused dream journal, from which i have posted a few excerpts. so i should have lots of very interesting images to share in the coming months. cheers.

long breath

i know i know i know, its been ages since my last post, but believe me, i have been busy, had a solo exhibition go up at Hawaii Pacific University, and i am finally taking a little vacation from all this work and stress (stress from my wife's recovery). and i should write more, but i decided i should post the magazine article for all those people who can't go out and get it for themselves. cheers. more work to follow, for those who follow.

dog days

nothing to say, feeling good these days

Big Drawing Stew

lots of drawings posting today, from the past two days, a selection, my wife is rocking out on guitar hero 2 while i do this...pretty funny to listen to since she's not so good.

smoke

so, i got featured on the above linked website, feel free to check it out. for those of you getting to my blog from the website, feel free to go in internet circles until you fall on the floor bleeding from your eyes. it's a cool, quiet night, pink clouds float over the waianaes that, six hours ago, were up in flames from errant artillery fire. i fail to understand how such a small place can be used as a military playground. but the light streaming through the smoke this evening was beautiful, especially all the refractions creating hundreds of little jagged, broken rainbows, and the reds the color of blood oranges.

staring

more boys, nothing much to say except that blockbuster hollywood movies make the back of my brain ache, we took my son and his friend to see transformers tonight, the best part was watching his enthusiasm and excitement...it sucks, i'm older and these movies are so full of holes and flaws, but if i were ten again a movie like that would have been so tremendous to me, im glad he can enjoy it, but then again, im glad i can see it for what it is...its funny, there was a lot of racism in the film, but its the usual kind of racism in these movies where anything important is being done by white folks

presenting

i wanted to say thank you to all the good folks who came out to see me at my booth at the haleiwa arts festival. the response i get never fails to surprise me. huyen, here is your painting.

mug

so, this is the other magazine that i was getting featured in, or rather on....no artwork inside, just lawyerly articles, not being a lawyer i cannot speak of its merits, but i do know that is one fine painting on the cover. faith's home, and we're all in the warms snugly cave of love.

all god's children ain't god's children

so, some days i wonder how long you have to work at something like this before certain people stop making references to you like "an occasion when newcomers break the surface of visibility". fuck 'em, i say. but then again, many days i fear i will always be a beginner, and always be regarded as such.

flying flights

"toll the bell, pay the private eye, all is well, twentieth century dies" david bowie friggin rocks, listening to the outside album....good news for me and my son! faith is flying in tomorrow for good good goodness! yay, im freakin happy! and for those who wonder, yes she's ok.

party people eat peacocks

some drawings from the magazine party...so i had a weird synchronicity yesterday, i read a news article about a deranged man who killed a peacock believing it to be a vampire. later on during the day i had to go the gallery to drop some things off and as i was walking through china town this homeless guy goes by on a bicycle shouting out "LOVE YOUR PEACOCK!", but in this very deep lowing kind of voice, all full fathom five and full of dark menace. i dont think it was a good week for peacocks around the world.

fancies

more art extras for my straight to video super painter movie, "the saga of junior", as narrated by morgan freeman. coming soon to a headspace near you. cough cough

dust mops

a couple of paintings that just went to the gallery and me having mad scientist hair day...cheers
