I just listened to the audio version of a the chapter Twelve Moments from David Sedaris’s “Me Talk Pretty One Day” and am impressed with his writing style and how he defined himself as an artist. It’s worth it to check it out.

Big or Small
Just where the heck are we with the proposed Arts District? And what’s next for the leadership of First Fridays?

Richmond Magazine Issue: January 2012
Escaping the bus exhaust of West Broad Street for the vaulted interior of Candela Books & Gallery feels like taking a breath of fresh air. The cavernous space at 214 W. Broad St. still smells...

Doug Rickard's A New American Picture
Whether you think Celebration, Florida is a Truman Show lite experiment or a successful re-imagining of American small-town values the Street Views on show in the Google Sightseeing post provide a stark contrast to the images in Doug Rickard’s A New American Picture.
Rickard’s collection of Google Maps Street View images presents a very different picture of American life. The...

"A Second Home" Show Up at Lift for Another Month
The idea of this art show came from my first show in Richmond with Gary Llama in June 2011 at OneTribe Organics. The installation, “Home: An Exploration,” explored our ideas of what ‘home’ meant to us. In Gary’s book “Leave Nothing of Value”, I sum up what home means to me: “Others’ idea of “home” never struck a chord in me....

Creativity Still Lingers
So, I have been a bit in absentia from typical creative activity for a bit now. The art show in June really took a lot of the artistic creativity that I had and threw it out there for all to see, which is great of course, but since I have been sort of out of the loop. Not necessarily artist’s block, but a sort of reprieve. I’ve also taken my creativity and applied it to other areas in...

Denver International Airport purportedly 'demonic'...
Denver International Airport
An apocalyptic horse with glowing red eyes welcoming visitors? Check.
Nightmarish murals? Check.
Strange words and symbols embedded in the floor? Check.
Gargoyles sitting in suitcases? Check.
Runways shaped like a Nazi swastika? Check.
OK, this place is evil.
But seriously, there are so many irregularities surrounding the DIA, that a voluminous book could be...

I’m not doing anything about schizophrenia
You know, except hallucinating.
-Said in response to spouse saying ‘you’re not going to do anything about schizophrenia in the middle of the night when you are hallucinating from sleeping for only 2 hours’
I was so disturbed by my late night, sleep-deprived visual oddities that I was compelled to reproduce what I was...

Experiments in the Philosophy of Everyday Life:...
This is an entry in the book “Astonish Yourself! 101 Experiments in the Philosophy of Everyday Life” by Roger-Pol Droit. I found this book at the Richmond Really Really Free Market today. If you’re in the Richmond, VA area, I recommend coming to it. It’s on the last Saturday of every month from 12-3pm, Monroe Park, on the corner of Main and Laurel Streets. And now, on to...

RVA News: Decayed Richmond →
Society views abandoned buildings as a blight to our culture, an eyesore. There are some people, however, that appreciate the decaying beauty in ways the original architects could have never dreamed.

what we do to get by
A few weeks back we went to Potomac to dog sit and make a few extra dollars.
They had made a ramp for the dogs because their legs are too short to go up and down the stairs.
This is Buster; he likes to sit on the ramp, stubbornly waiting to be picked up
until we just as stubbornly refused.
We do what we do to get by
and then we need a release.

I just love urban exploring; I can’t get enough of it. These pictures are from when I went wandering around Fulton Gas Works here in Richmond with a friend of mine.
Pro tip: Always bring a trusted friend
If you do take the risk of going exploring in ruins, remember to always take a trusted friend and always be ready for the unexpected. You never know if you may come...
