the hiveland: this saturday

so last friday around 4am i come home and check my email before going to bed. it was then that i realized that the drop off date for the hiveland show is sunday. i wouldnt have minded so much but i thought for some odd reason that i had a couple more weeks, since i didnt put any thought in what i wanted to paint and the canvas was still in its plastic wrap…@$#%^!@&!!!!!!!

i skipped going out on saturday and painted all day and night.. i actually finished on monday afternoon and i was gonna drop the sucker off but then realized that the hive wasnt really running on monday or tuesday.  in any case, this is what i had pulled out of my ass last minute:

“the headless horseman sea serpent” 8″x10″

im sticking to my theme of not romanticising misery… and this piece is an underwater creature trying to find it way… more or less a self portrait… initially the idea i  had was really contrasty, but i guess i chickened out… it was also gonna barf up snakes etc but if i did that it would been too much. next time i guess.

i forgot that the setttings were still on black and white mode so the first trial run of the painting came out like this….actually kinda cool, but i would never have it like this…

if you want to check out the show, it is this saturday, march 7th at the hive gallery. the hive gallery is like a bohemian paradise and i think everyone in los angeles should check it out at least just once in their life. it runs about 830pm - 1am, $8 at the door.729 south spring street, los angeles ca 90014

go prince of cake!!!!!

oh man im going to die on saturday!!!!!!!!!  i have to go to northridge to teach, and from there i need to make it to ktown to teach as well…. and then i will head over to the hive gallery and see the show… afterwards, dinner at tokyo table to see some friends and then i have to go to the bar to see another friend so that i could meet her friends.. shiet the night ends with good people and alcohal, so im straight!!
