Interspersing is the edge and its kilter managed and tweaked by the things that are disinteresting. It’s a good painting--clean and has physiological impact, expresses manners that bend appropriately. <BR/>Is the artist that old?<BR/>I would love it be someone young.<BR/>I love the intent and clarity, which many young miss and replace with flabbergasted style.

Seattle isn't that sleepy either - you got your green River Killer to NY's Son of sam, you got your Starbucks to your Starbucks.<BR/>They are showing "Zabriskie Point" at the BAM, and in Seattle they are playing Jan Svankmaujers "Lunacy" at the Film Forum. That film, sir, is what New York is REALLY all about. <BR/><BR/>Go see it you provincial hayseed.<BR/>By the way, there was some driftwood-reminiscent art at the Whitney Biennial, reminded me of that Norwegian Northwest thing.zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1151094431902299052006-06-23T16:27:00.000-04:002006-06-23T16:27:00.000-04:00nice reading, martin!nice reading, martin!youth--lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766715817815803423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1151094312911773082006-06-23T16:25:00.000-04:002006-06-23T16:25:00.000-04:00i like it. i like the meteor chair delivery, and t...i like it. i like the meteor chair delivery, and the cropping of the feet, and the colors, and the books. <BR/><BR/>he is like peter parker taking a moment to consider his awesome responsibilities.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383812070175961882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1151091807496992072006-06-23T15:43:00.000-04:002006-06-23T15:43:00.000-04:00i have that same eames lounge chair. a nice chair ...i have that same eames lounge chair. a nice chair to sit naked in, though this dude looks kinda uncomfortable. maybe his foot is disappearing into a cloud or some unexpected floor fog?dubzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722779446646087067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1151090645436562992006-06-23T15:24:00.000-04:002006-06-23T15:24:00.000-04:00Seriously, I live in a sleepy town, New York City ...Seriously, I live in a sleepy town, New York City is suppose to suprise me, yes?
