Karl Blau

I (and the rest of White Diamonds) played a show at my home/loft-space (AKA Ash's Place) last Thursday. Thank you to Alex Bleeker and the Freaks, LAKE, and Mr. Blau himself for a great performance as well as a kind introduction of himself. If you ever come across this blog, I loved your hair-do for this show man! You have an amazing voice!

Here is a link to two videos of Karl Blau performing that night, from the Great Pumpkin blog:

Michael Smith and Mike Kelley at the Sculpture Center

I saw this installation yesterday at The Sculpture Center. It looks great and it makes for decent entertainment; featuring video of performance artist Michael Smith at the Burning Man Festival dressed up as a baby. The piece mocks Burning Man, which is OK with me, and leaves me curious to know how one of the festival's many supporters would react. Up through November 30th.

OLAF BREUNING

One of my favorite contemporary artists is Olaf Breuning. I appreciate the honesty and sentimentality in his work. Here are some pictures from his 2008 show at Metro Pictures called I Know.





2 of my favorite drawings from the show I like Boobs and Why Can Humans be So Discusting? [sic]

ART SHOW : FRIDAY AUGUST 28

New Digital Art Works

These prints are a combination of photo collage and photoshop design. I enjoy the juxtaposition of spiritual and ethereal content and the graphic design quality of the digital medium.
