My first mural is done!
alt text
One week ago we opened my first mural with a perfect neighbourhood party. I’m really happy with what is basically a gigantic watercolour. It's not that easy to photograph because there's a tree in front of the whole thing and the plants adjacent to the wall have been destroyed because I had to be there with the scissor lift, so that looks really bad as well for the time being. I have to get a drone or something.
Thank you so much for all your support during the whole process. Several people have already gotten his touch with me to talk about more than murals I could do, but we'll see if anything pans out.
I've got a bit longer video on my Instagram for those who are interested: https://www.instagram.com/p...

a sign hangs on a corrugated metal wall, next to a door. There's a skull and crossbones with a lightning bolt on the skull's forehead. Below it, the sign says:

two people in environmental suits tear open a pillow to find Abe Vigoda's happy face
I remember the website “Is Abe Vigoda still alive?” and it just said “yes” until it didn’t
I remember watching this episode of Conan with my friends. None of them knew who Abe Vigoda was. So of course I was the only one laughing. For whatever reason I've thought about this gag intermittently for, what, going on 30 years now? Maybe more?

Flowery resting place

Green sprouted plants inside of a circle of river stones in my front yard
On the first of the month we said goodbye to our beloved Macy and laid her to rest in this spot in our yard. We immediately covered it in flower seeds and then circled it with some river stones. I hope to find a good way to carve a little name stone - maybe some soapstone or cast some concrete.
Long may her memory live (and make us better people)!

You may not be able to go to the opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center, but you can see all of the banners I designed and animated for his '08 & '12 campaigns right now. Check it out: http://barackobamadesign.com

not to be a braggart about something so small, but feels good man. as someone who grew up extra tubby and was never in shape enough to even run one mile, it’s nice to hit even a moderate goalpost.

Aaaah, Summer. When all the cards venture out from their burrows.
Does Uno come with blanks? I haven't played in many years.
@jpoulos There is a new(ish) version that has blanks as well as new wilds and other special cards. Or “troll cards” as my brother’s girlfriend’s 9 year old son says.
Going to the Sun Road, Glacier NP
alt text
My bicycle leans against a low stone guardrail wall on the Going to the Sun Road, an alpine road in Glacier NP. The view is to the east with Logan Pass in the distance.
There were rumors all week that the road would open up to the top, but no date. I staked my bet on Thursday, and planned an early out from work. Lucky me, that was right on the money. I got on the bike right after 5:30pm and hit Logan Pass right at 9:00pm, just in time for a cold thunderstorm to roll in. It was fine though--I brought all the layers. While the getting there part took 3.5 hours, I was back to my car in less than an hour. Average speed of 7.9 mph, max 34.9 mph. Anyhow it's open all weekend to bikes, then the tourist season kicks off, with the road opening to cars Monday.
So why do they call this Sun Ro...OOOOH! That's why!
Beautiful!
Thank you for the photos of your adventures! These are gorgeous.

G train! I'm not sure how that would have gotten them from Queens to the Lower East Side, though.
Oh wait, back then the G did extend to Forest Hills. Maybe they transferred to the J/M? Not a free transfer, but perhaps the most convenient while hauling gear. And I guess it was actually called the GG back then. https://www.nycsubway.org/perl...
Now their songs are used in inane advertising. I hope whomever benefits is doing something righteous with the money.

RIP Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf You Will Be Missed
Phil and Donny will, sadly, miss the catfish meatloaf. Depending on where they go next, in heaven they will say they miss it. In hell, they have it every day, just enough to keep them dead.
Sad to hear this. I have fond memories of seeing Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf play at a juke joint when I was young.
Someday you too will be special catfish meatloaf missed.
Warhol stencil, 2012 (mother moving edition)
alt text
A canvas painted with a stencil of an iconic portrait of Andy Warhol sits against a wall in my mother’s basement. The stencil was painted four times on the same canvas, moved only very slightly in-between each color (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), and the resulting image tricks one’s eyes from a distance into thinking the image is slightly blurry.
In 2012 I made this large stencil of Warhol and did slightly-offset CMYK, for a sort of op-art feel. Physically hard to look at lol.
If I can fit it in my car in a couple weeks I’ll take custody of it once again (along with a few other pieces), because my mother is putting her home on the market and they’ve been sitting in her basement for years.
If I can’t fit them in my car? Oh well. That’s the way the cookie crumbles. Will either be free to folks or get tossed.
Thought I had some better photos of this piece, but turns out I only have a terrible making-of video I made and put on Vimeo right after making it, so this slightly-blurry screenshot is the best I have for now hahaha

Rent a van.
@0y3ahSansAcut3 a nice thought, but then m’lovely wife would have to ALSO drive the 9hrs back to Nashville from Michigan. I don’t have plentiful enough a stack of old paintings or the extra energy/space back home to store them/pretend like the ancient and not-so-great works are likely to sell or are images we want hanging in our tiny little home.
But good thought.
