New diorama day...

Incidentally, this is the last weekend for my diorama show at Sunny's Bar. It'll be coming down after Sat. Jan. 14th, but I'll be hanging out there this Fri. the 13th if you want to take another gander and have a drink or two. Also, Audra Rox and her band will be performing something called "Ladies Sing Tom Waits", which should prove to be entertaining. Opens at 8pm.


If you have already purchased a diorama, I will be in touch next week about making the swap.

New diorama day, and a happy new year to all.

Hopefully it will be marginally better than the shit sundae we were forced to eat in 2011.

So, I got a few postcards printed for the show, but in typical fashion forgot to add my name to them. I suppose this is what it should have looked like. Laugh it up everyone...

I have much to do before Friday, but hope to see you there. Friday is just the opening, but it will be up for about a month thanks to the graciousness of Sunny and Tone. If you get a chance, warm yourself at one of Brooklyn's oldest gin mills.

"She's concentrating on levitation
Her body burst into violet hues
I took a look at her tattered shoes
I offered her mine but she refused
She said: I want these cuts
on my feet, man
gotta become sensitive as I can"

Today, I wish I were this poem.









I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

-W.B. Yeats

New Diorama Day...long time coming, as well. The onset of fall and winter gets me a little more charged up about tinkering indoors, so I'll have some more coming soon. Also, I've got a tentative date for my second show at Sunny's Bar, which should be a hoot. Opening should be December 2nd, more updates to follow shortly.

This one needs touching up. I hate when I see gray as green.

New diorama day. Be sure to drown ALL the embers in your campfire, folks!

New diorama day. You may notice a slow drift towards aviation themes in the coming months. It may have been the biplane ride I took on Orcas Island a few weeks ago, or it may just be an homage to all the military diorama enthusiasts out there whose work I so admire. At any rate, I may have found my current bailiwick and it pleases me.

In other news, I am mostly recovered from a fractured femur and am back racing motorcycles. I just returned from a West Virginia race weekend last night. It was mostly amateur hour, with me shaking out the cobwebs and lamenting how fat I have gotten, but I had a ton of fun racing my friend and arch nemesis Andrew. Even though our lap times were pathetic, being out there racing neck and neck, playing MotoGP, passing and re-passing...made it all worthwhile.

New diorama day. It's been a while. Had such strange dreams last night...dreamt that Claire L. Evans from YACHT was my good friend and we flew helicopters together. I was sad to wake up. Also, I just discovered Randy Newman's album Sail Away and can't stop listening to it.

This is dedicated to my friend Caitlin Rosen.

New diorama day. I apologize for this one. Heavy handed.

Also - good!
