December 2007 Archives

December 21, 2007

in new york for a bit. back in l.a. i was at this place with some friends from boston and a man was standing looking in my direction. so i look away and look back. he's still looking. not a celeb but an icon. it was mick jagger. i'll let you absorb that for a sec. if you know the 60's and you know me well then you know why. that's all you get for now :)

I have to admit that after watching the republicans debate and huckabee's answer to the bible question in which he responded something to the effect: if this is the word of God then we cannot pick and choose what we like or believe. I thought this may be someone I vote for if clinton gets the democratic nomination. well, then i got this in an email. it's not that it's a mistake, it's that it's a mistake he was pressured into making that bothers me.

paintings- we're putting up some small works at wooster st. and a film installation of a short we filmed out in malibu last summer. available for viewing in january.

have a nice weekend.

been in la-la-land for so long nearly forgot about my career. important things first, i know.

art

70+ small works now available online: elsophia.com/lounge .. limited edition prints will be available in the spring.

i'm happy to report the the art world is alive and well in l.a.

in los angeles? must see this: Don't Fence Me In @ bandini art

and this: bitten! @ lightbox gallery - went out to the opening last night.. kim light is unbelievable. tried to go to the 825 exhibit last week but too crowded and i was being rushed.

dazed confused & everything else

i have a small part in a movie ('hey girl') filmed out in santa barbara. supposedly cowgirl but it was more tranny then anything else. if my scene makes it i'll post.

met hillary clinton in hollywood. by chance really. and still no vote.

pumping gas is just awful. it should be illegal. oh, and britney spears drives better than i do. almost crashed into her going up canon dr but she swirved out of the way in total control. very odd.

this place can be a danger zone. i whispered one thing to abe about bono (a man i happen to have a great deal of respect for) and 2 days later it was on one of those scandalous gossip sites in distorted fashion. in ny with millions of people around nobody hears- or cares to hear- anything. for years celebs have peacefully walked in and out of my studio. i don't even remember how i found out about it. a.m. 640 i think or tv.. the devil.

my new canvas

wrapping it up in cali. busy year ahead. filming in paris, jerusalem, cairo. movies + festivals: film screenings in nyc here soon.. and art exhibits ny/la. see you in nyc!
