Once Upon the Dark Ages

This weekend Abe and I were on the set for the filming of a new documentary in which one of the producer is a friend of his. Half way through, the crew began to get hungry so this producer, her assistant and I hopped onto a copter to pick up 200 falafel sandwiches from the city. They were filming out in South Hampton (how the billionaires that own homes out there pay for the utilities- rent them out to movie production companies). The view of Manhattan at night is remarkable. In case you don't know (a little secret about me), a few years ago I started investing in the production of movies under the alias Drama Empire®. Independent film/theater is one of my deepest passions. Free expression art and funding revolutionary films.

Last week, I was in my new favorite basement-turned-lounge chatting away with some peers- won't post the name of the place because it has under 10 tables and is my only place for seclusion in this city and when word gets around, places fill up very quick, and i would like to savor this place for as long as possible. Bad for the owner, good for me. The dark ambiance of the place makes it almost impossible to see anyone. It finally  occurred to me one of the people I'm chatting with is Neve Campbell. She said she'd visit the new studio when I'm done moving in. So if you stop by don't be surprised to see her there :) Anyway, I ordered a round then called it a night.

I happen to be one of those people that finds it ok for men to wear certain beauty products. You see it all over this city, manicured and perfectly pressed. But last night we were in the presence of a total disaster- self-invoked man hair extension disaster. It was so obvious he didn't seek a professional's advice. All manufacturers need to cease distributing them to men immediately! We can all agree that men lack the proper training and do not possess the expertise equivalent to that of women enduring years of painful experiences and application mishaps. Gentlemen, leave it to the pros.

In fashion news: Missoni is opening down the street. So if you come and i'm not in my studio, I'll be there.


Series study films have been posted online for your viewing pleasure:

Everyday Life Series Study #1

In the future I'll be posting mini films with commentary on new releases of my artwork online. All depends on how this goes. Right now we're testing the films as far as bandwidth, errors, things of that nature. The windows media file only works in internet explorer browsers, so that will have to change. This blog gets an unbelievable amount of hits as it is, average of over 10,000 hits a day (yikes!). Don't worry you're not alone, i love blogs as well  :)

 

Alrighty now off to have dinner @ 21Club. Have a good evening!
