(in progress)(acrylic on paper)
freeway sections closed for repairs today in LA. 'carmegeddon'. not so bad, actually. took a lot of public transportation into the valley so I could paint Charlotte Stokely. Huge bulldogs at her house look like the things Rick Moranis turns into in Ghostbusters. dead cars all over the lawn.

outer LA seems depressing at first--just a sort of hypersuburb--then you see some lunatic in surfer shorts shrieking at a security camera and realize that it isn't actually as boring as it looks. probably goes for the whole country. architecture is letting us down..

Artillery Magazine debate a few days ago, didn't lose.

i have a column there, at Artillery magazine. starting to like it.
