this is why I don't have a pet. heading overseas and will probably be returning to ny august. thanks to everyone who stopped by the art and film exhibit saturday, oh and not taking the rock 'n' roll (or the horrendous crowd) too seriously. it was a nice time considering we wont be back in l.a. for a while.

halloween started thursday in provincetown (or ptown as locals like it) before heading back to the city where the holiday is celebrated religiously. friday night we headed out to brooklyn for a bit to see valentina caniglia's show at gelato art salon. if you're not familiar with her [hardcore] work.. go to her website she's an exceptionally talented cinematographer saturday we made the rounds. not much to report. cant remember much.

i feel it is incumbent upon me to tell you that i've dissected cadavars. yup. at nyu medical school i cut open dead people for an anatomy & physiology class. i got an a+ the seas are rough up in cape cod. we spent a day deep sea fishing. my blackberry is now in the belly of a shark.. atleast it's not me. scary seeing 18-foot predators less than a mile off shore. otherwise i'd be sharing some really interesting photos on here.

and the weather is unseasonably warm. and apparently swine flu hasn't hit the city yet.
updating updating studio/art while i'm still only halfway through my official year-long break from painting been working on paintings however new prints won't be available until the spring. film screenings to much of their voyeristic delight -we hope- people who attended our last screening in paramus, nj got to see the wrong film. oops. i wasn't there? we're working on new material now for upcoming festivals. so there won't be any new screenings until next spring. art raw the project space we had hoped to sign didn't go through, the current occupier decided to stay. we're on the search.. just don't expect anything before summer. website i know. the website has been down most of the summer and in place should have been brand spanking new pages unfortunately they're still being worked on. and i have been told the server crashes on average 2x per day (thanks for visiting), although they're usually up immediately and it goes unnoticed. the new site should be up any day now. if you sent an email you haven't received a response to just resend there's more but i need to get going. tons of work, emails, things to do.

the commenters tend to get a bit annoying, esp. when arguing over neighborhood boundaries or proper names. get over it.. for heaven's sake. nice photos however. May 19, 2009
not exactly. but there's an exhibit at the rock and roll hall of fame in soho. take a look and i have to say i was excited to read that the first lady was in town to promote art. so how about we clank those heels where it's truly needed, such as the many art studio buildings in nyc? (see i too can discuss art) May 16, 2009

believe it or not, i haven't been writing because i actually forgot how to work this blog. besides i've been taking a much needed break and had some parties and a woodstock wedding to attend. not a very extended hiatus- we're working on some crazy new projects, teeny tiny large in quantity but totally meaningless projects that you may never hear about. if you were expecting much more, might i remind you that i am not jerry saltz. but i did shoot some pics of gagosian's roof tops from the gallery in chelsea (and bricks that nearly fell on my head the other day). all for your enjoyment.

hello, my name is lemya el sophia, and this is my blog. in case you're curious i'm still alive, although i had a very bad fall hourse riding this weekend and can barely walk. other than that we're busy on new projects. more later. the 2 paintings on the front sold but there are a few more. then giving painting a rest for a while. seriously. the chelsea gallery has eaten up all my time the past few months. we'll be closing for the summer re-opening with scintillating exhibits in the fall. it has been quite a ride. meeting exciting new artists, gallery owners, writers from all over the world. literally. you can read about it on the website. dreary chelsea afternoon

the past few months have rapidly vanished even by my own standards and while it is almost 2am and i just got home dead tired, still i sit here keeping my promise. it's cold. it's warm. then it's cold again. and i would have really loved to spend this year surfing or enjoying Rastafarian cigs or both. for me and a handful of people who will never leave, it's one dive bar then the next. in all the chaos i have managed to whip up some new art for you. and if you stop by you might catch a glimpse of our new flick as well. because weather is mundane and the recession is depressing. and there's no doubt, things are changing. i trust the sky won't cave.

now that the economy's in the toilet and we're all poor, there are things to enthusiastically look forward to..
1) the horrific bush error (actually that was a mistype but seems more appropriate than era) will be over soon, that is until the dynasty continues in 4 or 8 years with brother jeb. 2) most recessions throughout history have lasted 18 months or less, we only have 6 to go. perhaps obama can stop telling us how terrible it all is and scaring us into paralysis. here's to a better year in 2009 and resolutions we'll never keep. mine, as with every january since its inception, is to do a better job updating this blog. December 16, 2008
been away from this blog for a while and real busy. on behalf of everyone here see you in the new year! October 20, 2008
not much to report. been working. enjoying the autumn weather in local parks. hosting parties. and writing potentially brilliant punditry.. a silent battle with the republican right-wing extremist enigma. sacrificed to a political guru. placed at their pagan alters set up in front of their mirrors. if w. was chosen over mccain in 2000, why on earth would anyone vote for mccain now? considering the better candidate was the rnc pick then. incompetent palin denigrates the ticket even further. McCain/Palin are the dynamic duo of absurdity. Truth is that McCain represents an America which is almost extinct. There is a new generation of Americans working diligently to salvage this country. It will be a new kind of government. better.
anxiously awaiting this election to be over with already. i'll be in chicago nov.4 for a few days. hopefully celebrating a victory get out and vote October 4, 2008
guess i should have mentioned this earlier..thank you for all the nice birthday notes. i really appreciate it. just back from toronto. finally doing it. taking a break from painting. i'm giving myself a year to work on other projects i've been putting on hold. there are almost 300 art works available now- large, small, abstracts, on canvas and panel. they'll be online soon and posted on the front page. blame me. i've been real busy. coming up..
they're doing a great job with it. see some of the art here we were promised sun and it's drizzling out :( September 26, 2008
we're having a debate party tonight. mine is private but there are public ones set up. check the obama website for one in your area. palin- unqualified, we know. however this very obviously surpasses the danger zone of ineptness: This is a direct excerpt from Katie Couric’s One-On-One interview with Sarah Palin, which aired Wednesday on CBS. COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? … Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess? PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions.
